The 25th & 26th; I sound like a cross between Wheezy from Toy Story and a walrus.

The 25th of October. Oh God I have been awake since about half three, just constantly coughing and I've barely stopped. I am not looking forward to the clocks going back as that just means another hour of coughing. 

Bless Dan. He's home this weekend and texted to see if I was free for a cuppa but I could barely breathe just to breathe, never mind trying to hold a conversation. I sound like a cross between Wheezy from Toy Story and a walrus. 

I feel so awful. I just want this to be over. 

The 26th of October.

Zopiclone helped last night. It's a shame it doesn't work every night. Tonight might be a tough one.

Having a viral cough is one of the most frustrating illnesses. I am constantly tired but incapable of sleeping because of the incessant cough. I am sick of being stuck at home but don't have the energy to go out. My hair desperately needs washing but I don't have the strength to blow-dry it properly. And I'm stuck on 10mg of steroid until this shows some sign of improvement. 

I am supposed to be at the dental hospital tomorrow which is not going to happen. I am very fed up of this and would like to be better soon.
