Still sick

bookzombieSo I finally thought I was over all the long-running illness I've been enjoying. But alas it was not to be.
On Saturday we drove to Bristol for a signing at Forbidden Planet (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
desperance , la_marquise_de_ and jemck ) and I was feeling a little chesty. By Sunday morning I was losing my voice and starting to cough (just to entertain the visiting wrdnrd & the_andy ).
I worked from home on Monday afternoon as I was pretty sure the coughing was really going to annoy my colleagues. And then the last two days I've been off. Again. And missed another rehearsal. I'd be surprised if I were to feel well enough for work tomorrow as well, given what I've been like today: I had to give my mum a lift home to Andover (a twelve mile round trip) and it completely exhausted me.
I think I've probably got whatpennski had: a post-viral cough - talking and dry air make it worse. I don't think it's a chest infection - any gunk I'm coughing up is clear. If I'm still as bad tomorrow I suppose I ought to see the doctor, just to be sure (and no, it's not swine flu. I've got a bit of a temperature - for me anyway; my baseline is around 35.5 rather than 37 - but not a particularly high one)
Can I just say how completely fed up I am with this now? I've got a show in just five weeks and it would be really, really nice if this all cleared up again before then.
Bah.
