JOYS of having a long term pneumonia.. It was my 10 week long bout of it that later gave me the 'present' of PN -just as the residual cough gave up the ghost. BTW, my lung x-rays now show scarring as a result.

I hope you get better and stronger daily! Feeling like you are having dinosaurs stomping on you perpetually is not my idea of life.

Thank goodness, I guess, that I get the IVIG monthly so pneu. shots are not an issue.

David,
First, sending good thoughts that you continue to show that pnuemonia who is boss!
And, totally agree with you about the vaccinations. Until I got PN - the sickest I ever got in my life was every few years with the flu - after starting getting shots (worked in administration at a hospital and they kinda made us get them) - found I went for years without getting sick when I got my shots every year - they seemed to really help.

Also had a pneumonia vaccine once after we lost a family member in 5 days from complications of the flu that turned into severe pnuemonia - and I had a bad reaction to it for a couple of days - red swollen armband - but - I feel protected now and glad I did it....

I know lots of people think that the shots give you the disease - but its not true of course (side-affects maybe).... I hope all that can get vacinated! (now that I'm on IVIG no shots - they IVIG "juice" takes the place of the shots)

Hoping you feel better and stronger each day.....
