It's only my 3rd week at my new job but I'm pretty convinced I have whooping cough (albeit mildly). I've developed the struggling for breath whoop and have been sick a couple of times. I work with elderly people so I have to stay away until I find out if I have it as I know it's really infectious. But I feel so guilty. I'm really never ill but I've never experienced anything like this cough and the panic of not being able to breathe. Plus my new job is just going to think I'm a slacker because during the day the cough isn't as bad, it's in the evening and at night when I'm in bed. Oh blahhh. I just feel awful I'm off already . I can't remember the last time I was off ill.
