I've caught pneumonia

[Pbcgirl28]

Hi everyone. Ive got pneumonia really badly. I was dx with it Friday after being sick for a week. I didn't think much of being as sick as I am since ever since getting PBC a normal cold is awful for me. But, be being stubborn I put off going to the doc. My o2 stats are only between 89-94. After a breathing treatment I get them up to 97-98 but only for a short amount of time. My doc told me if I'm not better by mom-tues she was going to hospilize me. I do not want that!! I'm on a strong antibiotic, steroid and breathing treamtment every 4 hours. Getting plently of rest, lots of warm liquids and water, using a heating pad on my chest, steam showers. Anything else I can do?!? I have a 3 year old and 5 year old and im only 29. I don't want to be hospitalized yet again, ive been away from them too much already with everything thats happened to me health wise. I have fibromyalgia, PID, PCOS, chronic fatigue, and I just found out my right kidney has died....I've had a ruff go the last 6 years.

The last time I got sick I got pneumonia as well but was able to kick it within days, not this time. Even walking to the bathroom I'm extremely short of breath. Any help would be great!

Did you take pneumonia shot before ?

[Pbcgirl28 in reply to Sachin1234]

No, I haven't. I will be getting it once in over thi for sure!. I'm still not doing well. I just did a breathing treatment and my o2 is still at 92.

Every pbc patient must take all vaccines available since we have a low immunity..pneumonia shot is most people who have kids, work with kids, crowded places and in hospitals🙏..
