Re: Whooping Cough on the rise

[Guest guest]

Whooping cough made its' run through our area last summer. I had it for roughly

5 or 6

weeks, and my dad had it and his lasted for months.

Mine was so bad that I'd have asthmatic type coughing fits where my throat would

close

up and it felt like I was having to suck air through the diameter of a coffee

stirrer. I'd

break out into a sweat and tears would pour down my face while I tried to catch

a breath.

From everything that I read, there's not much that can be done for it since it's

viral.
