Hon, you will be fine. When we have an illness like a cough or cold it seems that we tend to make it bigger than it is. Sometimes coughs take a while to go away. I know when I get a cold or bronchitis, the cough can last for a month.

It's good that you are going to the doctor. He will take care of your anxiety along with your cough and cold.

Hugs!

Edited to add: I am so sorry about your miscarriage. I had two of them, so I know how you feel.

Hey Andrea,

I hope you start feeling better soon- I know how awful the health anxiety can get when we don't feel well.

I am definitely one of those who as soon as I get over an illness (in my mind) I quickly replace it with another. It's a terrible anxiety to have- I hope your doctor can give you some comfort xx
