Exhausted and frustrated

I have been ill with this awful virus twice in 3 months. Add oral thrush and also covid and I'm at my wits end.
Being sent for urgent chest xray and then potentially head and neck exam as voice has been croaky for 6weeks.
What gets to me is my husbands cavalier attitude to being careful about coughing, washing hands etc.
I am totally paranoid I know but he has twice brought covid home from work not his fault I know I'm my reasonable brain but I am on high alert and just so anxious. I have asthma and not sure if the coughing is that or something else.
So utterly fed up of coughing to the point of vomiting then seeing him bounce around like tigger boasting how his immune system is so awesome.
I have talked to him but I don't think he properly gets how unwell I've felt for months and how irritating he is when he won't even put a hand over his mouth coughing when I keep asking him to.
Sorry rant over

Hope you get well soon,

Can you self-isolate in a bedroom OP?

Can you get a telephone consultation with the Respiratory Nurse at your GPs surgery?

Have you asked your GPs surgery for advice re Oral Thrush?

I'm over the covid now but generally not well. Don't know if long covid or something else.
Already seen respiratory nurse and had bloods etc
Just bit of a vicious cycle at minute

So, you've told him, and he's dismissed your feelings?

Does he do that generally, or does he usually respect and take care of how you feel?

He’s honestly being a twat. To not cover your mouth when coughing is borderline rude even when you don’t have someone who’s got compromised health in the house but to do it when you’ve expressed how unwell you are (and he can see how unwell you are) is actually disrespectful.

So sorry you’ve been feeling like shit, I’ve had a full winter of being unwell too and it’s fucking awful. Hoping you get some relief soon x

Can you have separate bedrooms so you at least get away from his germs tnere ?

Think I'm so anxious as not only has gp booked appt for 10 days but set a reminder for herself so as she said if I don't go to see her she will be on it.
So many illnesses in such a short space of time has whacked me out
