Pneumonia please oh please go away..........

[sylvi]

I have just been to the drs again and this chest hasn't gone away. I went to the drs on Friday evening and he put me on steroids to help my lungs and let slip that i have pneumonia. I had such a rough weekend and felt so ill i phoned the drs this morning to see if i can see a dr today. I got in this afternoon and she sounded my chest out and she said your rattling badly. She gave me a stronger antibiotic which i have to take two tonight and then one a day until they are finished. If i don't recover with these drugs,it means a chest x-ray and another sputem test. I wish i could just feel well. xxxxx

Oh goodness! I can't think of anything to say except good Lord!!!!! I will ramp up my prayer effort, maybe the time difference is throwing them off track!

Good Lord please remove this horrid pneumonia from my friends lungs and restore to her good health! Amen!

My mom uses eucalyptus oil to steam up in the shower and on a hanky to sniff! For the shower she takes a wash cloth and puts some of the oil in the center then sits it on the ledge of the tub whilst she showers! It opens the sinuses and thins any mucus in them and lungs!!! Vicks vapor rub for babies also has it instead of mentholatum!

I use the oils too for my stuffed up sinuses. On a hankie between my pillows. It makes for much more peaceful night's sleep. I have several essential oils and eucalyptus and frankinsence are my faves. We have one of those inhaler mugs with a nose cone thingy so you can sit with it raised to your face and not have to bend over a bowl with a towel over your head. I must try using the oil in the shower too. I also have a little plug in diffuser which disperses microscopic amounts of the essential oils (Aennon is the brand) but no water involved, so you get the pure oil but a really micro fine mist every so often during the night. I tend to use that over the winter.

[Neonkittie17 in reply to Neonkittie17]

The inhaling mugs are about £5 from Amazon. Worth it indeed. The Aennon essential oils diffuser I got for half price at £45 but it's such a clean and easy to use little thing I wanted it as opposed to a big water and oil mister/humidifier. Some are quite large and heavy. I've not the room for anything large either on my bedside table.

Oh nooooo , so sorry to hear your still not getting better , I know this is going to sound really stupid but go and buy yourself a facial steamer . I add a couple of drops of albums oil to the water and then just sit and inhale the vapour , it loosens all the mucus and makes it easier for you to cough it up . All the best , sending lots of hugs and best wishes xxx

Youre going through another rough time again Sylvi.You have more than your fair share dont you ?

Really hope the antibiotics start to work soon and that you wont need any further procedures.

Please take care and I hope you recover soon.

Hi Sylvi...I hope and pray you recover quickly from this. Thinking of you at this time...:,( Looks like you have plenty of soothing posts posted to help ease your discomfort. Hope you find relief soon

[sylvi]

Wow thank you all very much indeed. I have had a another coughing fit during the night and when i got up and brought a load of stuff up which means it is moving. I have had about five hours sleep. I am going to stay home today and rest and see if that helps. Again thank you all very much i love you all very much.xxxxxx

[Downtime]

My goodness you are going through it all! You poor thing. I hope the antibiotics do their work and you don't have to have any more to put up with. I hope you start feeling much better soon x

[AgedCrone]

Sylvi,,,,,,in a word REST!!!

No anti biotic will help if you don't give it a chance by rushing around.

My friend soldiered on like you last Christmas & ended up as an emergency admittance to hospital on Boxing Day & was hospitalised for 8 weeks, & is still not 100%.

You just need to conserve your energy to get stronger.

Wish you better!
