I did also have joint aches to a smaller degree, which puzzled my medical contact, because he thought that lent more towards the viral pneumonia symptom list. Still, he said, you've got the Amoxy and you can start the treatment NOW, not in 36 hours. He reasoned (correctly, apparantly) that it was more likely a bacterial pneumonia -- if it was even that at all!
All of this was a bit of a crap shoot.
Life’s a crap shoot...you are right to be prepared, not only physically but spritually too.
what a wake up call your post has been.
