not the dreadful one, thank God

My doctor phoned me the result of the sputum test. She thought,that it would be pseudomonas as in the past. fortunately, the microbiologist found that it was Moraxella Catharrhalis. My doc told me I could google it. I saw on Patient.co.uk, that if affects the ear (otitis) it can give meningitis, and pneumonia. I suppose this is a sort of pneumonia that I have. I've got Clarithromycin. It's also dealt with Erythromycin. cyproxyn is also a help. Azythromycin is this strong drug you only take 3 days in the week, which is like a ten days of Clarithromycin.

I still fee very cold in the morning. BUT, I had a wash this morning! Mm! Smells nice! and I've eaten a little bit more. I've got tons of Indian meals and curries, and Chinese sweet and sour , so I'm OK for food! I Hope to be my smiling self very soon. Happy new year to you all. Mic xx

Iris, not ony do I find it so cold, especially when I wake up., I find no energy. I cringe at washing myself, for that I have to get undressed! I take a little bit of breakfast, but don't feel like eating; then my nebuliser and my tons of pills on top of the ABs. Men have prostates which is like a scarf. When it swells, the scarf tightens, difficult to pass urine. Hence the medicine for the free flow, the ralzing and the shrinking! I went back to bed this morning. The candle will not burn late tonight iether.

When we see things like blood, our mind runs into de[ression. I hope it was only a little bit. Still scary. Hope you feel better soon.

Was the loss of appetite due to the antibiotics are did it start before the AB? Sure wish you a speedy recovery, return of your appetite, and a Happy New Year.

It was due to the bug. But as soon as I repel it with the appropriate drug, I feel hungry again! Sainsbury's has provided me wiht lots of prepared meals, curries, sweet and sour, the things that let water come into my mouth! i do have diced turkey that i used in home made salads with lots of garlic (an antibiotics). It must get better!

Hm! I did this for a couple of days, when it was freezing and my body was too. But I couldn't stay long in bed! Must do things, like learning the flute (happy is my neighbour who is deaf!)

Chicken curry more likely! But I always have a little salad with a couple of garlic in it.

I feel definitely better. Thanks for the encouragement to this old hand :-)

Hi there

My nickname was chosen by exactly how I was feeling at the time when I was diagnosed just over a year ago now. Hope your feeling better. X

helingmic profile image
helingmic in reply toShocked1

I do thanks. I still have pneumonia, but it is clearing. i still have sinusitis, because it's the same bug that causes it. But I am up and about, wanting to do things - like playing my flute!

Have a good New Year.
