“I have Arnold’s Cough Syndrome. It’s annoying as fuck. I once asked a couple people, ‘Isn’t it annoying? The coughing spasms from cleaning your ears? I always end up gagging so hard from how hard I cough.’ A friend and my ex both looked at me like I had three heads.”
“I saw this on a similar list here last year, looked it up, and discovered that’s what it is. I’ve been diagnosed with fibromyalgia since and am on a heavy dose of gabapentin, which is the medication they suggest for Arnold’s Cough Syndrome as well. I haven’t talked to my doctor about it yet, but I’ve noticed the coughs aren’t nearly as bad now.”
