Hi Regina, l am doing well thanks but our daughter in law (SLE and breast cancer) has been unwell and in hospital. She became neutropenic after one chemo session and ended up with an infection. Home now though and next chemo on 24th l believe.

Hope you are doing well. Xxxxx

Hello Regina. For me honey and lemon hot drinks and Vicks Vapor rub helps. I usually put it in hot water and inhale the steam. I'm not sure if it will help you but that's what I do for relief. I hope you feel better soon.

I agree with Caspiana and I also rub vic on the soles of my feet. Seems strange but it works for me. I also have lupus and lung disease. Hope you're feeling better soon.
