He Is Faithful That Promised

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) Hebrew 10:23

This month is almost over. Time and days are disappearing fast. I like that when the weekends roll around again but I don't like it when I feel I have accomplished nothing on the days past.

It was very green at work on St. Patrick's Day. Only a few people didn't wear green and I saw every shade of green imaginable. We served green punch at snack time with green icing on cookies and cupcakes. One of the teachers brought green necklaces for the children.

My cough was gone for a short time. Last week I starting coughing again. I did some googling and read about postnasal drip. I firmly believe that is what keeps bothering me. I take a decongestant and it goes away. After a few days of being off the medicine I get the cough again. After reading up on postnasal drip, I found that it was true, drinking lots of water did help. I am a tea drinker, rarely do I drink plain water. The day that I drank water all day and did not take a decongestant the postnasal drip was much better and the coughing was almost nonexistent. When I drink more tea than water the coughing starts. Some of the web sites stated that hot liquids help, but the water makes more of a difference with me.

Eighty degree temperatures are back in Louisiana. I would like to say that is a good thing. But in some ways for me it isn't. That means my electric bill will increase and a lot of mornings I have to drive to work in dense fog. I can only see what is right in front of the car. Of course I always encounter people who think I am driving too slow and they speed around me and scare me. One truck went flying past me in a curve and almost went in a ditch. It would have served him right. I saw his brake lights come on and knew what happened because I knew what area of the road we were on and I was going slow because that sharp curve was ahead.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Galatians 6:7-9

Glad your cough is getting better, and you seem to have found the cause!

I recently read (but can't remember where, alas) that menopause can cause nasal problems. I've had post nasal drip almost year round for several years now -- probably at the start of perimenopause. And I know from experience that a drip can cause or aggravate a cough. You might ask your doctor next time you see him/her (though I bet they're not all up on the latest info). I'll post a link if I find the article again.

Glad you found something that helps. Feel better.

How are you doing regarding calcium, thyroid, sugar levels, etc.? Taking your meds and following your diet?
