Yesterday, my brother Arie said to me:" I think whenever I see you , you cough..."...And I replied.." So what's new about it ? "...It was like this most of my life I think...There were years I cough less, or none. I had 1 terrible year...AND... In the last year, I cough 11 months out of 12 months.(Some years are like that )I don't remember when I last saw, Roni my doctor, and even If I see him, I probably have the problem to take those inhalers He would have written to me...perhaps because I don't believe fully in their influence on my cough. Since I was a small kid (3) I suffer from what Dr. Vilsmerdorphrer used to call Allergic cough...Some call it Asthma. As a kid, I truly made A LOT of problems to swallow the pills, that I was given when I was ill. I think only when I was 13-14, I started to swallow some of the tablets I was given , only if it has the shape of capsule...And I also remember some of the antibiotics, I was given ...I simply throw away, without my parents know (I was 14-15 :-) Nowadays I take sometimes vitamins, when I remember to do so..Still I'm having the problem to swallow...I'm not sure if it's a fear, or a real physical problem of swallowing...simply, so many times it stuck in a terrible way in my throat. So,now I wonder how are you in taking medications...For LIFE Without cough...For health...Love, Nira P.S: Just imagine yourself, have to kiss someone, who is cough most of the time :-))...I don't think it's sexy...:-)

Marvelous Painting, Nira.You belle blood and youth´ and espiritualy. You great Art.This happiness and magical Pieces.You wow always. Hugs. Shalom. PepeMinnie Shuler 19 Mar 2008
Very beautiful. Just the way I feel sometime about my medicine. So sorry you've had such a time. I remember when my children got coughs. I tried everything the doctor said. My father-in-law told me to get some "no cough". Had no idea what it was. He told me where to buy it in an old country store. It worked. Also, he told me to use honey and lemon juice (fresh) mixed equally. Also worked. I do not buy cough syrrups anymore, haven't for about 40 years. Probably wouldn't work for asthma, crimson clover tea with honey may be better for that.annette steens 05 Mar 2008
Wonderful work Nira, love the colors! Sorry to read about your problem. We all have some I think. I do. But I believe that the only docter AM I! Just listen good to myself and don't "eat" "medicins" anymore. I had many and they told me that I did stupid things to throw them away but again I know better. Still I am alive and much better than ever before. You know, we are gods so we are perfect that's the only thing! An other way of thinking but really all the answers are inside.

WOW!........very cool image....well done!!Joke Schotting 05 Feb 2008
Gorgeous work my dear friend!!!!John Fish 05 Feb 2008
very cool image and I like the way the colors graduate and blend together. I really relate to your story. I also grew up with asthma and allergies and sometimes take a pill automatically when others would think about it. I wake up every day congested the way most people feel when they have a cold. to me that is normal. I can't imagine not sneezing or coughing or having a slight headache from sinus pressure. It would be weird like something was missing.Joanna Jungjohann 05 Feb 2008

VERY INTERESTING! GREAT COLORS!Julie Mayser 04 Feb 2008
Nira, this is so rich and gorgeous! All those tongue depressors!! Hehehe... As for asthma, not funny. I too have asthma, but have conquered it by seeing an allergist, and taking shots for ten years to desensitize. Also many other methods of keeping one's house less dusty ( dust mites) etc,etc. And I am a pastelist ( more dust!) as well. This is a wonderful creative work of art!Thom Roslan 03 Feb 2008
Your "Friendly" Antibiotics at work......going down your throat! Great design & colors too!Steven Torrisi 03 Feb 2008
Nira this shot reminds me of what it must be like for you to trying to swallow the pill. Art like this has a theraputic value in dealing with life experiences as yours. My prayers go to you that you can take your medicine without difficulty and that the cough goes away.Ginger Lovellette 03 Feb 2008

PS: LOVE YOUR ART WORK Nira... forgot to comment on that one ha ha ha! OLGAOlga van Dijk 03 Feb 2008
Yeah it sounds very allergic to me.... As a child all winters I was sick with asthmatic bronchitis. So I feel for you... I take a cocktail of vitamins (and a flue shot) and now it's going so much better. It depends a little where I live (climate). Antibiotics are only helping if there's an inflammation (and fever) In the US they prescribe them too often. I wouldn't worry about being sexy, but HOW TO GET HEALTHY my friend! --Love and Light~OLGAAnonymous Guest 03 Feb 2008
