Probably not the SARS.

[rivka]

I have a cough.

Not a cold-virus cough, or a bronchitis cough, or anything else I've had before. It's a shallow, dry, can't-catch-my-breath cough. Worse when I talk. Much worse when I move around. It's really uncomfortable.

No fever. No congestion, really. Allergy symptoms well controlled by Clarinex. It's just this cough, and this shortness of breath.

If it doesn't go away by Monday, I'll go to the doctor.

One of my aunts wrote her master's thesis for her degree in nursing on the human cough. She has an uncanny ability to diagnose what respiratory problems you're having by listening to you cough (for example, she correctly figured out that some of my uncle's problems were caused by asthma rather than allergies as he'd always suspected). I sometimes wish she could be lent out in cases like this.

We had a rather interesting time discussing SARS and other stuff last weekend.

In any case, I hope you feel better soon!
