    thanks hope4cure for your support     yesterday the cough  started to lessen....amazing .....and what a difference it has made to me.  unfortunately still sweating excessively (guess its not the best time of year to get graves !!)   and still not sleeping much   but only been on the meds for 2 weeks now so guess i need to hang in there.  the loose bowels have also improved somewhat too
