Coughing

I developed a cough last year. It came on during 30 days antibiotics. When I touch or breath into a spot on my spine near my kidneys the cough comes on. I have coughed for minutes on end while I touch into that spot. I have used massage, yoga, and rollers to get in there. It has been about a year and I’m not sure what is going on. I feel pain while coughing and it’s a not a mild cough.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Does anyone have a cough develop from Lyme and confections?

Are any coinfections associated with coughing?

I believe Chlamydia Pneumoniae and Mycoplasma Pneumoniae are two infections that can be accompanied by a persistent cough.

At the end of 2013, I had the onset of what I thought was a cold. But, it got worse and I was very sick for seven weeks. Part of the illness was a persistent cough - the worst I ever remember having. Mine took months to (mostly) pass. Over a year later, it would return on occasion. I still have infrequent flares.

In early 2015, in a retrospective review of my case, a doctor theorized that I'd probably had "Walking Pneumonia."

Upon testing, my IgG and IgM values for Chlamydia Pneumoniae were high. As for Mycoplasma Pneumoniae, only my IgG values were high. I've not been tested in a while, but have a suspicion one or both are likely still positive, given my persistent fatigue, occasional cough, and other symptoms.

Thanks for the good info

Yea it’s strange. If I touch the area on my back I cough.

It’s been happening for about a year and I have talked to one of my doctors about it to no avail.
I have a new doctor appt this Wednesday, I will bring it up then.

If you think you will receive resistance to getting tested for those two conditions -- assuming you WANT to get tested for them -- you could always look-up some of the other symptoms of Chlamydia Pneumoniae and Mycoplasma Pneumoniae and mention those, too. Then, they will likely HAVE to test you. That's not a method I would routinely employ or suggest, but...sometimes, we have to be creative to get what we need.

I wish you luck, my friend.

Thanks for your suggestions and support.

At my new dr appoimtment yesterday he was a nice guy, will help me with my disability paperwork, but wanted to refer me right back to my infectious disease dr that way was not very informed. I got 30 days of iv rochephin last year and the dr said that was the most he could offer. This healthcare system is broken and beholden to insurance companies. He was at least The second doctor to tell me it’s impossible to feel what I’m feeling.

I asked him if he would test for mycoplasma and babesia?, he said he didn’t know how to order or treat them.

I have talked to the supposed ‘lyme literate doctors’ in my isolated area and they seem to be pushing a huge panel herbal products (many that I have tried) at a huge markup. I know I need a good LL doctor.

Sorry 😐 I’m frustrated.

On a positive note I’m feeling good from my invermectin, pyrantel, and abendazole. Trying to order biaxin.

You can order a test kit from Igenex - and get a Babesia test done if your dr is willing to sign the lab req.


I’m not sure if they test for mycoplasma though.

If you don’t have a Dr to sign you could test thru TruHealth labs
They do offer a Mycoplasma test.

I see Dude has also found a lab that you can test without a dr signature.
Thanks Dude!

It’s been 2 weeks, No caughing!!!since I started my Klinghardt para Protozoa program.

I’m switching to abendazole in a few more days. I don’t reccomend taking the pyrantel with the invermectin at night, it makes it difficult to sleep.

Much less pressure in my head, feeling social, my eyes are seeing colors very clearly.

Be well
