omg I did that when I had COVmonia last year and many times figured I'd rather just be dead.
That is absolutely the worse, being unable to sneeze for a week straight and always being in the state just before sneezing: horrible
I couldn't help the coughing and sneezing so I had to walk around with a sheet tied around me for over a week (something they STRONGLY advise against when you have pneumonia as it can [something] your [something, probably breathing?] and make it way way worse) ... it was the ribs in the back though so every time I'd cough or sneeze it 1) KILLED, and 2) felt like I was going to blow my back open, lol - so I had to pull the sheet as tight as I could to basically hold those back ribs in, and then try to get the cough/sneeze through - and try not to make a horrible mess of myself as both hands were occupied, lol - and then I could release and go back to trying not to cough or sneeze ...
Imma go book a COVID booster ahead of my early July trip, right now, while I'm remembering this, rofl
