This book pretty much saved my life
This book pretty much saved my life. I've been working as an RN doing some 12-hour shifts, and by the end of the 12 hours I had laryngitis, sounded like I was sick and was coughing or throat-clearing constantly. I felt like a complete nut for complaining about a lump in my throat and having my surgeon do an EGD and tell me that my throat was fine. I read this book, took the tests inside it, and figured out what I would need to do to get better. I bought a copy of the book for my doctor, showed her the tests results, and requested that we follow Dr. Koufman's protocol. It's been about 6 weeks, and last week I took my last Protonix pill (was taking it twice a day). It took less than a week for my cough to disappear. I was, like many people, having problems with both reflux and neurogenic cough. I did also get her book, Dropping Acid, which helped with getting off the Protonix. I've bought 5 more copies of "The Chronic Cough Enigma" to share with the health care providers both at the hospital and in the community. THANK YOU, DR. KOUFMAN! I can't say enough good things about this book.
