I got Pertussis at 16 (DTaP only lasts 10 yesrs), it was the scariest disease I’ve had in my 30 year life.
I coughed so hard I cracked ribs, and also couldn’t catch my breath after coughing (hence “whooping cough”) that I passed out a few times.
Shit lasted for almost a month. Get vaccinated!
- orwin 2y agoLucky you, I got it at ~5. My mother reacted badly to hepatitis vaccine, decided her children won't be vaccinated (had to do the measles one), I got the whooping cough, passed out after a week, got diagnosed, I think it lasted 3 months but honestly the only memory I have left is passing out in school, then being alone in my bed, quarantined. All of us got our vaccine after that.
