Hello sheila-taylor4 and welcome to the forum. You sound to have had a rough time of it lately and I hope the feeling better continues.

As long as you are on the mend that's the main thing 😊

I wish you well, it's an awful thing to have. Main thing is rest and rest and rest. Even if you feel better don't go out and don't start doing lots. It takes months to get over and if you take it easy, rest, drink loads of fluids and get vitamins to build yourself up you'll recover better. A berrocca everyday and herbal tea may help.

Pneumonia takes a couple of months to get over, look after and be kind to yourself 😊😊 x
