walking pneumonia, asthma brought on bronchial irritation and sinusitis. I'm on an ceftin, prednisone, OTC cough medicines along with vicodin (doc says taking vicodin works better than cough medicine with codeine), OTC meds for my stuffed up nose, and an inhaler. I guess I've been throwing PVCs like crazy too (he did an EKG along with the chest xray) which explains why sometimes I really tight and fluttery in my chest.
Now all I can do is hope some of these meds have helped by Thursday night. I've got all the present bought, but I haven't had the energy to wrap a dang thing.

after looking at your post again, yes you are way beyond vitamin C....walking pneumonia = antibiotics, I had this twice...one time I ended up in the hospital for several days the other time had to stay home from work for almost 2 weeks. You shoud feel better soon after getting the meds in you.
