I agree that post-nasal drip is part of the equation, and I've been taking a lot of the stuff mentioned already. It's just not been too effective. Delsym has been mild to middling in cough relief. Maybe one to three hours at a go. Nasonex and Claritin did their jobs with congestion but that ran headlong into my pinched nerve issue that gets exacerbated when I try to elevate my head and neck above a certain level. So, no drainage or drainage down the wrong way. Hence my Catch 22.
Thanks on the luck and health wishes.
The tessalon and Prednisone seem to be doing the trick. I've had my first good chunk of sleep in a while and am looking forward to much more!
