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.
 
Had it since early January........its a bit like the tide.......just when you think its gone it rolls back in ...............
 
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!
Be well folks.
