So sorry you're sick. When one says "tired" I take it as worn out feeling, sleepy, just moving slowly. THAT happens---happens to me all the time due to my chronic insomnia and drug side effects. I just "go with it" and rest.

Of course I wouldn't ignore actual symptoms of an illness, and if I'm not mistaken, pertussis has some pretty unmistakable symptoms. Before you got the diagnosis, even YOU thought that my earlier commentary was probably correct after all...you were worn out. After all, even you said you didn't think you were SICK--only "really really tired." I have plenty of empathy for your struggles as I do anyone who has been diagnosed with this or any other of the other diseases which cause suffering--including pertussis.


I wish you well. Hope you get the needed attention for your illness and are feeling better soon.
