In other news.....
Remember this post about my lousy cough? Well, it's still here, but it has morphed a bit. All of my other symptoms have been gone for a while, but I still have allergy-type things going on (sneezing and blowing my nose now and then) and this nasty cough. It is now a sporadic hacking cough, as in it comes and goes throughout the day, but it's like I am gagging on something. Okay, I am gagging on something and I think it's post-nasal drip or something. Whatever it is, it's getting bad. I actually threw up tonight during a coughing fit. I have no clue what the deal could be besides allergies. I've had this stupid cough for 3 weeks now and I'm pretty darn sick of it. Literally it seems. So, perhaps I will give the doctor a call tomorrow. Odds are there won't be any available appointments, but what else can I do? Any aspiring doctors or nurses out there want to give me a diagnosis?

It may be allergies or it may be viral. Is there anyone else who has it? Is there anything new in your surroundings that could be irritating, like someone painting, a new pet? The post nasal drip points to something viral although also seen in allergies.
Are you taking anything to relieve the cough? The best simple remedy for the cough is drinking lots of water. Increase your fluid intake. Coughing could induce vomitting, so just try to relieve in with lozenges. And at the same time, take Vitamin C to boost your immune system. And rest up too.
Regarding the book, it'll reach your shores too. It might take a while but I'll keep you posted.
