I think I have whooping cough.





No, I don't REALLY have whooping cough, it just feels like that sometimes.

Geez woman, hope you get that checked out ASAP cos shit can go down real fast like that time I went from a bit of a cold to pnuemonia in the space of a few hours :S

Heh. Do you cough so much that by the end of it you can't get air?

I had whooping cough. It wasn't fun. Good thing I can't remember it much.

I had whooping cough and I remember too much! There's three months I won't get back, and it took about two years for me to feel fully recuperated afterwards.

I was only about four, I think. I was immunised against it, but it was a weak batch, so I got it anyway. So it wasn't full on, but I remember the cough hanging around forever. Horrible.

I do have the odd spell when it's hard to breathe.

It feels like there's a pile of goo in the back of my throat and I can't dislodge it no matter what I do.

have you had your tonsils out cos it may be mild tonsilitis.

I know that feeling, blergh.

Suck lots of eucalyptus sweets is the best advice I can offer. Might clear you out a bit.
