This cough has been around since 15 yrs ago. Feels like there’s phglem tickling the throat, but nothing I do can dispel it out. Tried many types of medication and seen countless doctors but to no avail. Recently diagnosed diabetes on borderline and a bit of high cholesterol. So, any suggestions?

I have pollen-triggered asthma only in the spring, and my doctor prescribed Singulair for me. Only problem is, my insurance won’t cover it, and it costs $100+. My parents are having a really difficult time financially right now and can’t afford it, and because I actually HAVE insurance, I don’t qualify for the Merck Prescription Discount Program. I have an albuterol inhaler, but it works for barely half an hour (if that), and I’ve heard that it’s bad for you if you use it more than once a day.

I was wondering if there was any other, less expensive alternative medicine than Singulair, because I’m suffering terribly and not being able to breathe is keeping me up all night and interfering with my daily routines.

Thanks

My mother is law has been dealing with depression for many years. She is on medication + goes through some ECT treatment evry few years. She is getting old and I was wondering if anyone knows about alternative treatment for depression – not as hard on the body and mind.

I get exceptionally bad period pain

I’m looking for solutions to deal with it that don’t involve medication.

I know at night time snuggeling up to a hot water bottle can help – but it’s summer at the moment and that’s not an option in the extreeme heat.

Has anyone tried herbal solutions that work? Or does anyone have a trick that works for them?

Panadol is useless. The only thing that seems to work for me is anti-inflamitory medication – but I want a healthier alternative
