Hello Cheryl,
I'm chiming in a tad late here, but I'm wondering if you might have something called "Mycoplasma Pneumonia", or what the lay person refers to as "walking pneumonia"? You should probably ask that they perform a cold agglutinens titre on you. That will tell them for sure. Mycoplasma Pneumonia is more or less a viral type of infection, but the symptoms can be speeded up by taking some kind of "mycin" antibiotic.

I suppose you are being evaluated by your PA now. If nothing showed up and you didn't have a chest x-ray, I would ask for one. Often, Penumonia can be seen and not heard, and other times, we can hear it and not see it. I hope you start feeling better soon. You've really had a rough go of it as of late!

Thinking of you,
Chris
