you have a lung diease that uses a LOT of energy.
Imagine how hard your luungs are working? If you cough a lot also that takes it out of you.

Coughing all night is another reason you are tired and then trying to work full time really takes a toll on folks in our situation. Your doctor should prescribe maybe a mild seditave for you to sleep better at night so you feel more rested. Another thing my doctor has me do is to walk at least 30 - 60 minutes 3/4 times week. This is so our lungs stay more active and keeps our oxygen level up. He also prescribed the cough medicine Tussionex, a very strong narcotic cough syrup. Believe me, this stuff is a gift from heave for us. You can not drive while using it and do not take every day because you can get hooked on it. And, your cough will become immune to the effectiveness. if you take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon when you can no longer handle all the coughin, this will calm the cough (will not make you stop) but will calm it for about 12 to 14 or more hours. If you take it at nighttime, then maybe you will sleep better. Worth a try.
I'm not sure where in the world you live, but here in the United States, we have The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). This is when we have the correct documents filled out by our doctors and we can not be penalized for missing work due to these types of serious illnesses. This also pertains to taking time off for taking care of family members. Grant you, you may not be paid for this time missed, but you can not fired either. Yes, it can be abused by those who are not really sick, but as long as correct documents are in place, they are safe. It's a vry interesting Act if you should want to read about it online.
Good luch and keep in touch, this site has been so helpful for me.
