No, not really. Sometimes just get behind returning calls; or don't want to leave message on a voicemail d/t confidentiality issues.

See?
And you sound disappointed.
Regarding the cough thing - my husband has had chronic throat-clearing/cough for like 3 or 4 years. Went to an ENT, who shoved the camera tube up/down there & saw no problems. Said it's chronic post-nasal drip probably due to allergies OR reflux. He's tried both allergy and reflux meds without much success. He just lives with it - it's annoying as hell (probably more for me than for him.)
it does get worse when he's been drinking beer - an allergy nurse I know said it's possible he has a wheat allergy of some sort.
