Hey goreds is back.
I never realized that an able bodied 30 year old could get pneumonia, but apparently that's what happens when you have a cough for 2 weeks and don't so much as take cold medicine.
So, that is my opening wisdom. If you have a cold, treat it. Go to the doctor. Do whatever it is that you have to do. But don't get pneumonia, because little is worse than the feeling of breathing under water!

To be fair, OTC cold medicine only really curtails symptoms, not the infection itself. Get better old man!

Thanks! Doing much better than even 2 days ago. The marvels of good old prescription medicine; I started feeling better the day I was on them.
But to tell the truth, brewin, that's why I typically wouldn't take OTC medicine, because I figure give the cough a few days to run it's course and all is good. But apparently that didn't happen. I probably didn't give it the proper rest.

Ugh. That really sucks. You probably didn't rest enough because, ya know, you gotta work and have two kids to chase. Sorry it knocked you on your butt  . I am terrified of getting sick. I had a little cold but couldn't breathe at night so I took 1/3 of a 12 hour sudafed. Cleared me up to sleep and function. (a lot of otc dries up mama milk supply). |

I've got the flu currently, and it sucks. I had walking pneumonia back in 2011, right after the cards won the world series. Streaking and cold weather don't go together at all.

I had a little cold but couldn't breathe at night so I took 1/3 of a 12 hour sudafed. Cleared me up to sleep and function. (a lot of otc dries up mama milk supply). I think you are right. Between kids and working 10-12 hours a day, I think rest was the big issue. People at work kept telling me to rest and I didn't. I guess we see where that gets you. But your second part is probably why I tried my best to just ignore it. Both kids have been sick, wife doesn't get much sleep, so it just seems in poor taste for me to complain or mope around. But in the end, if I would have just taken it easy, it probably would have saved a lot in the long run! I definitely feel for pregnant and/or breastfeeding mothers. I don't know how they function without basic medicine! |
