Just to let you know, I am currently on some heavy-duty medication for
whooping cough. If you got sick before me and are not better or got sick
after me, I recommend you go to see a doctor.
The DPT shot/vaccination has this "P" part, for Pertusa (sp?), which is
whooping cough. It wears off. You can get the disease, but not bad
enough to get the characteristic "whooping" noise, so it is hard to spot.
Get sleep! Get better! Get drugged up!
