I think I got whooping cough several years ago. My vaccines were up to date (I had gotten a booster just a few years prior because D was young and getting vaxed so that motivated to get my boosters, too), so they never considered it as a possibility. But the symptoms seem to fit - horrific, horrific violent coughing fits. I went to the doctor so many times - I had chest x-rats, was put on antibiotics, given an inhaler, nothing, nothing helped at all and they had no idea what it could be: not bronchitis, not pneumonia, not anything they could figure out. And about 3 months later it just went away as suddenly as it came on. Whooping cough is the only thing I can think of that it could have been. But of course that’s just a guess.
