I had pneumonia a few yeasrs back- thought at first it was just a bad cold- Then got up in morning to leave- walked into living room coughing, and my legs collapsed- fell into couch- Went to hospital, legs gave otu again- i just lost strength ion them- it was a weird feeling- anyways- turned out it was pneumonia- spent several days in hospital- had couple of spot on lungs- they thought it was cancer- came 4 days away from losing my upper lung- got scared and asked for biopsies to make sure- turned out it wasn’t cancer- docs don’t know what it was- took a couple of months but the spots eventually went away but left scarring-
pneumonia sucks!
I have diabetes and keep a 10-day supply of Ciprofloxacin in the fridge just for pneumonia. By the time the Dr’s properly diagnose it (2-3 weeks) I could very well be ded -imo.
Been doing this since 2014. I’ve saved thousands, many hr.s of leave and preserved my quality of life.
