Hi, Got my meds this afternoon, and true to form, my body has betrayed me! I have a cold, dry constant cough and to top it off have lost my voice completely (bar the odd squeak)!!
I have seen my GP and he is happy thats its just a common cold. Is this going to skew the results of my meds and x rays? I have been trying to convince myself that the docs will see through a cold, but a bit of reassurance would be lovely.
Thanks
Claire

Thanks to both of you. I think I knew the docs wouldnt care, but I just needed to hear it from someone else.
Lets just hope the doc doesn't expect me to talk too much!!!
