EXACTLY! WTF?!
Wife had it and I took care of her and then I got it! On day 7 today and it’s been miserable. Very productive..and colorful!! Ruins my sleep, because if I cough I’m awake for ages, and feel like I’ve ripped every stomach muscle I have from the force of the coughing!
Today is the first day I haven’t been spitting up, but the cough is still there. When I don’t try to talk and keep my mouth closed, the air seems not to catch my throat as much, but the minute I try to talk, it’s over for another few minutes of coughing! Head is banging, too, probably from the coughing, as I’ve been trying to stay as hydrated as possible.
Sounds like we have shared it with my bro-in-law, too, as he says he has it now!!!
All this, against the backdrop of my losing her Mum to pancreatic & liver cancer a few days ago, has made 2025 an absolute shitfest so far. It’d better fucking buck up!
