I also have to use a nasal inhaler and have a med (capsules) for coughing.

Aww, Barb.....I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. I can't take arithomycin either - makes me very sick. I can't believe there isn't something else they could give you. Maybe if you take an antacid before you take the medicine that would help - although some medications say not to take an antacid prior to or after the dose.

I hope you feel better soon. Wish I lived closer to you - I'd bring over some homemade chicken rice soup!
