Hi Angie, really sorry to hear of your illness, Pleurisy can be so very painful, our eldest son has had it twice. You will need lots of rest and care, be kind to yourself and don't try running until you are fully recovered. You will know by your body though that running is a no no. Hope you are feeling better very soon. xx

Wo Angie. That is really bad luck. I had a bout of pleurisy some years ago so I know just how excruciatingly painful it can be. Like needles in your lungs. And with a raging fever on top. It can be over quite quickly if the drugs kick in OK though. Get well soon.

Crikey! That's scary. Take good care of yourself and hopefully you'll soon be back to fitness. Some warm weather might help!

I had that once - it's quite a scary experience! You must give yourself a thorough dose of TLC, be really good to yourself and try not to worry about the running. You'll be back again much quicker if you rest and do not try to get out again too soon.

The sun is on it's way to us so make the most of a proper rest and enjoy it. Hope you feel a great deal better very soon!
