Post pneumonia?

[skinnylizzy59]

Hi Everyone, it's good to read your posts, some positive and some seeking help and reassurance, you will get it all on this site, stick with it.

If you recall, I lost 5 days of my life being shunted around hospital whilst they found some medication for my pneumonia, well it didn't seem to clear up properly so I contacted Papworth Hospital who look after me when I have my annual check up. The nurse showed my file to a Doctor who said I should have a course of Ciprofloxacin and Prednisolone, I was very pleased with that because I know from past experience that with the Cipro I soon begin to feel better. I thought it was working but today I feel just like I did before and have developed a cough. I have to see the Respiratory Nurse at my surgery on Thursday (hope I pick up and am able to see her) so maybe we'll get to the bottom of things.

I've also got to have a bone density scan at the Nuffield (a private hospital) but it's being done under the NHS! Take care and wrap up warm and put a scarf round your nose and mouth if you are going out this cold, frosty (and foggy tomorrow) weather. Love Lizzy xx

Hi lizzy

It's good that something positive is happening and also that they keeping an eye on your bone density as preds can have a detrimental effect

Thanks to everyone for your good wishes.

Jennifer S - my husband had that horrible virus before Christmas and I thought that was what I had when I became ill on Christmas Day but as you know mine was pneumonia but my husband then caught a chest infection so we were a right pair of old crumblies when I came out of hospital.

Take care, Love Lizzy x
