I had cough for few weeks, but doctors diagnosed me with "maybe asthma". Only after I had a seizure episode and ended in hospital, they've done an MRI and discovered some abnormality in my brain. At least 2 doctors with a high reputation were certain it was some kind of cancer. Then the results came negative and I've done tests for few diseases including pertussis, which I tested positive for. Now the latest theory is encephalopathy caused by it, which is not fun, cause there're nearly no well recorded cases of it, especially in adults. Edit: turned out to be a brain tumor anyway.

I had whooping cough back in 2018, I was due for another boaster vaccine soon but hadn't got it yet. Becuase I still had my vaccine I had a 'mild' case, but 3 months after catching it I was still coughing. 6 months after whooping cough I was told I had medium to severe asthma. I still have many inhalers and have weak lungs so I am at a higher risk to COVID-19. Moral of the story, vaccinate your kids!
