Even when I'm not suffering from a cold or flu, I experience random coughing fits. They are so uncontrollable, I have to seek refuge away from others. It can get ugly. I have been experiencing them every night, sometimes twice in one night, all winter. I've tried water, cough drops, humidifier and nothing helps one bit.
I have not, but I see my rheumatologist team this week.
Still having the coughing fits at night, along with a flare the last few days. It's definitely sjogrens syndrome. My body is just not happy right now. I will quit the gluten, eat healthy, keep exercising and see what happens.
Brochospasm! Sounds like a good lead! I will definitely check that out!
Interesting-never would have thought of that.
I am not a cougher, but I imagine that may come down the road
Unfortunately, the Sjogren's can attack the lungs--a problem I've had, too. Did you have PFTs (lung function tests)?
