I've been really sick for over 2 weeks, as well as having tendonitis in my right shoulder for 3-4 months. Well, I went to see my Doctor today, and I have bronchial pneumonia (atypical mycoplasma pneumonia), or 'walking pneumonia'. They aren't sure if it's viral or bacterial, but they took a culture and I'll find out hopefully by tomorrow.

Then, I got a H-U-G-E steroid injection in my shoulder...OUCH! Then, on top of that, I had an actinic keratoma (pre-skin cancer) taken off my nose. I'm a mess! WAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

Aww, I'm sorry you're feeling so lousy! I sure hope the docs can find the right medicine to kick that pneumonia to the curb quickly & let you start breathing without effort again.

Get well soon, Marcia.

My grandmother is (I have a VERY young grandmother) about your age and she's had to get that "pre-skin cancer" taken off of her face several times. It sucks!

Crud. I had pnemonia when I lived in PA-not fun. I can't believe how sick I was. For Bronchial-aren't those infections normally caused by viral? I hope you feel better soon. Lots of rest, liquids, SA or Vit C etc. Is it hot or cold where you are?

Awww Marcia, I was so hoping it was not pneumonia. At least you will know soon exactly what you're dealing with and it will get treated. I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON!!!!!!!

Thanks everybody! I actually feel MUCH better today. (Must have been all the lemon-drop martinis we had last night, lol!) I was given an inhaler with medicine to use every 4 hours, which helps a lot!

Yup. If it was bacterial, I would go on antibiotics. Unfortunately, it's going to have to work it's course and go away on it's own. :eek:
