TB... meet Pertussis!

Well, as all of you know... I have amazing luck and became the proud owner of a new disease! I have Pertussis... which many of you may know as Whooping Cough. This causes me to have all sorts pulmonary issues such as... coughing that wont stop and thus lack of breathing. I have had two REALLY bad episodes and hopefully those will be gone soon, but can last up to 6 weeks. Stage three will last 1-2 weeks with many respiratory infections in the future likely. 

All of this is not bad, except for the constant feeling of death. I feel like a fat person is sitting on my chest at all times. I get winded walking up and down stairs. I cannot walk for a long in cold with the dog, because I start coughing. The episodes are the worse, because I start to freak out and cry because I get scared... and crying OBVIOUSLY does not help and often makes it worse.

So... my life is just SOOO fun! and I know you are all super jealous that you wish you could have super cool deadly diseases like me, but you aren't cool like me! :D Luckily I have my wonderful husband to take care of me... well... and my SUPER cool new humidifier I got to buy because of all this! :D
