"walking pneumonia"

Nasty. I had it once. I have never been so sick in my life. I would have had to have gotten better to die. But treatable unless it was some kind of Jim Henson super bug.

Henson died from an infection caused by the "flesh eating bacteria", Streptococcus pyogenes.

Same here.

I had it when I was in the military. It felt as if there was a two-ton weight on my chest.

Very difficult to breath. Couldn't stand at attention for more than 30 to 40 seconds without passing-out.

Miserable illness. I was sick for nearly a month. Completely bed-ridden for about ten days.
