So coughing has been a new and strange symptom. I've read where several people get this symptom, but,I can't find what they do for it. One doctor said to try cough medicine. Yeah,okay. It's not really a bronchial thing. I thing the reason must be from the buildup or conservation of blood around the heart/lungs.
It's been surprising to me to read about how affected people are with this disorder. Either mine is going to get much, much worse or I just don't think it's that bad. I have gotten significantly worse over the last year. Even progressively worse in the last eight months. But I can still get up and work a job. That doesn't mean I feel great but I can do it. Things I can't do...I just learned I can't clean the shower without getting sick. I was trying to clean it while in the shower (so maybe over heated) and bent over and I got super sick in a short amount of time. But I'm not a maid so no biggie.
I'm going to drive in the car for six hour tomorrow for the first time since being diagnosed. We'll see how that goes. The last few times my ankles have ballooned up like crazy. Now I have the old lady stockings, though so maybe that won't happen.
