The meds, they work!

Just as the title says, I’m getting all kinds of better. Yay meds!

Pneumonia Is Not Fun

Pneumonia is not fun. Not fun at all. But I’m dealing with it. It took the Health Center a week to diagnose it, but they finally did take me seriously (rather than just sending me away with the “Common Cold” med package).

Last Friday, I went into the Health Center claiming short of breath, coughing, and headaches. They said I had the common cold and sent me away with basic meds to treat some of the symptoms. They said if it got worse or didn’t improve in a week to come in. Well, Thursday night, it suddenly got worse again and stayed bad Friday.

I come in and the nurses immediately send me to a MD. They took my blood, x-rayed my chest, and the doctor looked at the results and listened to my lungs. He said pneumonia and sent me into another room for treatment. An hour later, I’m sent away with antibiotics and an inhaler with meds to help with breathing.

It’s working, but not quick enough. *sigh*
