hi, my name is Rosie. For 3 months on and off, i have had a violent cough. my lungs feel as though i have an infection, and my ears hurt. the last four weeks it has been continuous. i was also diagnosed type 2 diabetes a few weeks ago.my GP examined me and said i had no infection, i went a second time and still she said i had no infection. i feel permanantly ill. when i lie down the cough stops. when i go to bed at night my cough stops. this last week i cant stop sleeping, through the day, even though im not tired.my inflammatory marker was slightly raised, but my GP said for me not to worry. mentally i am bright and cheerful. my diabetes is being controlled on metformin, 500mgs twice a day, last 2 weeks. i just feel Zapped and totally drained. thank you from Rosie
