I've had random coughing attacks for about a month now. Usually every couple days. I don't understand.
You may want to get checked for GERD. I had a terrible cough unrelated to anything. Doctors kept piling on allergy meds and inhalers. One genius pulmnologist put me on Nexium and it solved everything. I never had any heartburn or the other usual symptoms. Just a cough I couldn't shake.

I suppose it's not quite a sickness, but a rash. I have pityriasis rosea and it is beyond annoying! It isn't contagious, but it is pretty ugly. Plus I am in the minority that gets itchy. Every time I think it is going away, like fading, it spreads further.

^^I have had that and before I had a diagnosis it was horrendous because I thought I had some eczema or something and I wasn't living at home at the time and was dealing with it by myself. It came back the next year, but thankfully not since then.
I'm currently dealing with a sinus infection and headache of epic proportions.

I'm currently slogging through my second cold. I got one at the very end of June, two weeks later I wake up one day and realize it's officially GONE. The next morning? A sore throat and brand new cold. It's JULY. That is so wrong.
As of today I've been sick 20 days in a row. I can't remember what it feels like not to have a stuffy head.
Have you tried using something for allergies or talking to a doc about allergies? When my son was sick like that, the doctor put him on Claritin daily. I said "But he's got a cold, not allergies" and the doc said that his body was working so hard on fighting off the allergens, it didn't have anything left to fight off colds. Since he's been on the Claritin (over a year now), he's so much better. Just a thought!
