swollen feet and ankles, hypertension.
Taking hydrocortisone for low cortisol, thyroid hormones for atrophied thyroid with Hashimotos disease, seroxat, olmatec, diazepam.

Been suffering from this darn rattling in the throat for ages now, I had a sputum and was H Influenzae in my sputum however the Dr couldn't get rid of it with the doxycycline and I am allergic to penicillin.
I am crackling, and gurgling here it is horrible, I can cough it clear but it is straight back and quite exhuasting. I cannot get to the toilet without shortness of breath this has got progressively worse. I am ok laid down with the breathlessness, it is definately exertional.
I also have a slight itch inside the lower part of my ear canal/corners of mouth irritating and wanting to put something down my ears to scratch occasionally.
I am a long standing GERD sufferer but PPis make me feel sick.
I have the classic low vit D pains in the bones including the ribs so not sure if that isn't lung or whether it is bone, difficult to tell.

I am vitamin D deficient with low calcium, bottom range albumin which has suddenly got lower over the last few months, the months since this rattling started strangely enough.
Can anyone suggest what to do with all this? My breathing is distressing and the rattling is annoying and clearing constantly is tiring, I am a FM\CFS sufferer, so I don't have the extra required energy.

A gurgly crackly hope you can help.

Maybe the Dr will come in at some point and help in the forum do you think?

lotsa luv
