Mercy, @BookDeath, I don't think it's whining when you're bad enough to require breathing treatments. If you aren't seeing an improvement in symptoms after the new treatment yesterday, you need to go back to the doctor. Be well soon!

worry will only hurt you and never helps anyone. the best thing you can do is be positive. the fact your not in hospital says a lot I think.

Ssshhhh. (Don't tell anyone I'm here, or let anyone near me). That's about the only way to either prevent getting, or giving that miserable ailment. I try to severely limit my exposure to the public when these things go around. Sorry you're having to deal with that. I hope you recover soon.

Sorry to hear you're unwell but at least you're getting laid?

So sorry you're dealing with so much. Hope you get to feeling better soon!

Rest and do what the doctor wants. I know from past experience that it can take 6 months or more to recover if you let this get worse.

Most minor infections follow a nine day cycle of onset, full infection then recovery. If at day six there's no cessation of symptoms, it could be an indication that your immune system is not coping. I've had pneumonia four times during the course of my childhood and adolescence and not once was I able to shake it off without the assistance of antibiotics. That you waited this long is testament to your personal tolerance for suffering. I hope your recovery is swift and complete.

I hope you get better soon. It's a nasty strain. I've been...not worried, but concerned...about the flu; I've read how it's very contagious and fatal in more cases than usual. I am in a high-risk group, and there's a very good chance that I would be a fatality if I got sick.

Good luck to you. Let us know when you're over it.

I think 3 weeks is much to long for the flu to last but I do not know about pneumonia. I wish you well and a speedy recovery back to normal health.

Hydration and rest, food, maybe something to make you feel better. Virginia probably doesn’t have legal weed, maybe NyQuil would help.

I am reading a lot of posts of people going into hospital with pneumonia or just coughing for weeks nearly a month.I hope you kick this.
