Your channel is amazing, and so helpful (thankyou so much)

The 100 day cough, i would have been terrified of lung cancer, having a cough for so long that is.

So anyway, from what i can gather infections never totally die off, like for example a species of animal can, they must, if not activet lie dormant waiting for an appropriate host to invade, well this is what i imagine happens listening to what you said about periods of time when vacines were not either given or taken in the UK,

I know the vaccination saved my daughter. Before I realized what had she was drinking from my water bottle. The dr thought it was my asthma. She never caught it thanks to the fact she was vaccinated. It saved her from this horrible illness!.

I have been very sick for 8 weeks and just got diagnosed yesterday. I'm now on codeine, prednisone, and doxycycline.

@lizsurfingthechaos what did they give u??? i have it know and it makes me feel really bad

This sickness is so horrible. I've had it for 3 weeks but wasn't diagnosed with it until today. I had gone to the doctor over a week ago and they diagnosed me with Bronchitis. I took all of the antibiotics but was not getting any better. I went back yesterday explaining that my symptoms were not getting better and that I was not able to breath for 30 seconds or more whenever I'd cough. They tested me for Whooping Cough and today the results came back positive. It sucks.

@immortal4942 well dogs have Dandruff like cats do and people can be allergic to animal dandruff and not have all the other allergy symptoms. I have been coughing for about 2 months straight now since we got a cat. I cleanded my computer and floor around where I set and kept the cat out of here today and i have had no coughing and only 1 asthma attack from the cat. Usually I have 3 or 4 asthma attacks a day.

@deelberg nope i used to though. now i just have a small dog.

[deelberg]

@immortal4942 DO you have Cats??

[deelberg]

Guess what though.  The commercial says 80% of babies catch it from parents?? LOL 100% of them catch it from a dumb ass parent who disrespects the child's life by getting in the kids face. When my friends and family are sick I tell them stay away and if they come anyway I run their asses right out the front door. People use your brains. Stop sending your kids to school sick and stop working sick. You are disease spreaders when you do this stuff.

I had this about 3yrs ago. Coughed for three months... didnt take any meds or really even feel tired. But I couldnt do any strenuous activity because it would send me into a coughing fit. Besides being a HUGE inconvenience, my body fought it just fine. ;)
