Hi there my daughter is just getting over pneumonia,she has been on 20 steroids a day for 2 weeks with lots of antibiotics,she is now down to 12 steroids a day.

She said although she felt crappy on the steroids they have loosened all her phlem and now it is drying up slowly.

Hopefully when the steroids start working for you,you will start to feel much better.

The only thing with steroids is that they have rubbish se's,my daughter gets bad headaches,cramp in her legs,mood swing,unable to sleep at might,etc,but her chest is soooooooooo much better with the steroids.

Hope you feel better soon,take care, Sandy.

Ah bless ya,that is the best thing to do,if you know you are not feeling better keep going back.

My daughter is always at the doctors,she hates having to go all the time,as she works full time has twin 3 year olds and every time she has a day off it seems she is always pestering the doctors,she isn't but that's how she feels.

She had a chest xray 2 days before she was dxd with pneumonia,and all that could be seen was a mild chest infection,2 days later when she was struggling to breath,she went to hospital and had another chest xray, in 2 days it had drastically changed on the xray and she had pneumonia.

I don't want to frighten you,I just wanted to let you know,as things can change quickly,so if you don't feel better soon,do feel a nuisance,go back to your doctors.

Hope you feel better today,take care, Sandy.
