jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Somebody, somewhere, sometimes, either sent me an email, OR they posted this in here. Coughing - when you wake up in the night and are coughing, no matter what the reason, put some Vick's Vapor Rub on your feet, then cover your feet with some socks, and you will stop coughing within five mintues. Does anyone here remember doing that? Or sending it to me? Anyway, I gotta tell ya, it works! I have severe acid reflux and if I eat anything spicy, hot, or chocolate after a certain time at night, I will wake up coughing, choking even. I did the other night and put the Vicks on the bottom of my feet, put on some socks, and laid down. Within a couple of minutes, (less than five minutes, no joke) I had stopped coughing and went directly back to sleep. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I don't know who you were, but if you'll confess, you're going in my Will. _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Sadie Member Registered: 10/08/04 Posts: 1274 Loc: MD	J.J, Sound like a good idea with that , but never heard to the use of vicks and socks . I use the "Altoids" and use them for everything coughing . _________________________ Courage is very important Like a muscle, it is strengthened by use .

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	I can't answer that Mountain Ash, possibly? I know I do have allergies that haven't been defined. But according to my doc, its acid reflux, personified. It led to finding my diseased gall bladder which they removed, and that helped a tad, but not much. Course that also led to other things. Sigh... this old age thang...geeish. But it STILL beats the alternative! _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW
