I appreciate everyone's comments. I go tomorrow morning for my physical. If the thing that they are looking for is in my blood, I am in. I have been praying for God to help me with this. I have had sinus surgery (and I still have sinus disease!), my hiatal hernia fixed (to stop the GERD that they thought was causing the problems), and endured allergy shots that only made me much worse (even though I tested hardly allergic to anything). I cough 24/7 and sometimes wheeze so bad that I can't get to sleep. This has been going on for almost 5 years. I am tired of telling everyone I meet that expresses concern that I am not contagious!
