Nope, don’t feel too bad in the morning, by mid morning can’t eat, drink or say anything without coughing, feels like I’ve got a herd of elephants sat on my chest & a razor blade in my throat
Still managed a workout this morning & b/s behaving for now, apparently this 100 day cough is going round here
