Thanks ladies for your reassurance. It turns out I've got a virus which features severe coughing. I think the Duro-Tuss in helping a little bit and I'm taking panadol to keep the temperature at a civil level.

Lime Slice - I agree with you about GPs. I saw one yesterday at a bulk billing clinic as I was having some chest pain. He told me to take some nurofen. I know that you can't take nurofen when pregnant it even says that on the box!!!!
