noaone, how is it going on the symbicort??
capttom..same question, and did you try the lidocaine? that is something i never heard of, intrigueing. when i have had bad flares requiring prednisone (about every 5 years) often triggered by bad chest cold, i have sometimes been able to get Tussionex (cough syrup with a type of morphine) as you would guess, you have to be half dead to get this as it is narcotic. isnt the lidocaine just an anaesthetic? i am very interested if anyone else has a successful treatment dry body wracking spasms of coughing, twitchy throat that i get after flare. one year i got an umbilical hernia coughing so hard. they wont do anything til damage is done!
