ill - my new normal state of health

I still have the cough. In fact, on Friday I had a relapse, spent the weekend in bed and I'm back to really bad cough. I don't however have a fever, so I had my fluvax today. The doc said that I should come back if I get any fever or productive cough. I'm suspicious my tonsils may be involved, but doctors are very hesitant about taking them out now, so even if they are, I bet I'd have to have this for 6 months before they'd consider it...must go and have a coughing fit now.
