Anyone else had/got this? I feel dreadful. Had it now for about five weeks and just as it seems to be getting better comes back to have another go. I gather from others who have had it that's par for the course. Even three of the doctors have had it and I've been told it usually lasts between 4-8 weeks.
 
Yes thanks and I still have it. I don't have a fever but I seem to have the rest of the set. I likened the coughing up to those old black and white films of children with diphtheria. I started to blame the pills as usual but DN says she's had it also.

Maybe a nap this afternoon, every afternoon..... and some mornings. It's very tiring.

Yes, I've just woken up again. Only got up about two and a half hours ago too.
 
Got it this week - nearly lost my voice to it on Tuesday. It's been worse at night - reckon my neighbour thinks I've taken up a 60 a day habit. :meh:
 
Had it since early January........its a bit like the tide.......just when you think its gone it rolls back in ........:arghh:.......:mad:
 
Me too. Together with asthma has almost seen me off.
Hope the improved weather fixes everyone.
 
Yes, I've had it too for almost 7 weeks so far. Coughed so much I nearly fainted. Lost my voice (I often do when I am ill) Couldn't sleep much in the early days, now I need 10+ hours to catch up. Very exhausting. I am still quite weak. Like you @Dodo I am asthmatic too.

I dare to believe with warmer weather things will improve. If we don't all get hayfever! :banghead:o_O
Be well folks.
