You don't see it nor do you hear it... but my co-workers do. And it freaks them out!

I cough. I cough all the time. I cough before my live shots and I cough the second we're cleared from the show. I've been sick for roughly a week and this stupid cough is still hanging on! I've been taking Nyquil and Robitussin and it actually feels like it's getting worse!

So... for those of you who get a kick out of behind the scenes stuff... I'm a coughing machine. Whenever I'm not on air, I'm coughing. You don't have to feel bad for me. Just something I thought I'd share.

(I don't know which category to put this in. Since it's a mildly entertaining story... I'll put it under "entertainment")

I went through the same thing a month ago. Day and night for a week, cough - cough. Could barely get to sleep some nights. Went to the doctor and she said "It is nothing really. It should go away on its own in a couple of weeks."

Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but she was right. The next week - it was gone.

I hope you feel better soon, Vivika. . . oops, Renee.


(I read your previous blog :-) )

I usually get chronic bronchitis in this weather (40-50 degrees and rainy) every spring and fall. I've avoided it the last two seasons with daily zinc supplements. Zinc lozenges reportedly cut your recovery time in half, too.

Might wanna give it a shot.

Try Green Tea also. It is very soothing and helps kill the tickle. Hot tea works best.
Good luck!!
I hope you feel better soon!!

Are you from this area? If not, you might want to get "worked up" for allergies. Tis the season for grass and tree pollens.

You see-- I AM from the area! So I don't know where this comes from!
