    1. When I was 18 I caught pertussis. My symptoms lasted for six months bc I didn’t have health insurance. I dropped below 100lbs because of it.

    When I was 19, it came back. After 3 or 4 months of coughing and cracking ribs and throwing up, I went to the free clinic.

      Docs at the free clinic prescribed a $150 inhaler and diagnosed me with asthma. Ever since, any time I get a cold I have months of coughing.

        I was sick from Xmas 2016 until after New Years, but I’m still having coughing fits any time I laugh.

          I always wonder if it would be this bad for my whole life if I’d just been able to go to the damn doctor when I got sick at 18.
