Well i went into hospital as a result of what i hough was an incredible peice of bad luck in that somehow i managed to split a nerve cluster that is painful that will cause you to collapse.

In martial arts or military terms its whats described as the "sweetspot" as id you hit that point well its a cripple blow or a kill with a knife.

Now i just happened to manage to damage this in my sleep? Anyway i know the science of it and went to the hospital and explained to them and the pain and shutting down of your chest cavity on one side is what i would sort of expect.

Basically xray showed nothing wrong with my lungs though i couldnt breath or stand easily, they sent me home saying rest and take paracetemol!!!!!!!!

So i rested for a month or more and then abruptly went downhill massively after the 18th may, like a nosedive. by the sunday i was puking blood and lung tissue and the morphine based painkillers i got from the docs that friday became innefective.

That coupled with a legal thing on the sunday eveneing meant i couldnt get medical treatment without first getting some info to solicitor/message to my son/goodbyes to people tat sort of thing and then handed the info to my cousin tuesday evening.Only after i did all that could i risk getting medical tratment and me dying or not in the hospital.In all honesty i thought i would be dead before this weekend my halth dropped throug the floor that fast.

As for why i dont know yet, but thats still being investigated.Is that enough info? Would you like my blood oxygen levels?

That i never had done before from an area on your wrist under your thumb, quite painfull......anywhere else in an arm isnt that bad and i feel like a pin cushion.

Sorry, not meaning to be overly curious...I don't know much about illnesses...I thought people who got pnuemonia were elderly or ill in some other way...weakened immune systems...this sounds like a series of a lot of bad luck....hope it works out well for you soon...

that's a common misconception..pnuemonia can hhit a healthy person and at any age ..there are over 200 different types of pnuemonia and only less than a hundred that are common..there is no way of knowing how one is comprimised and it had nothing to do with a weakend immune system ..it can start as a cold or the flu and turn into pnuemonia in the blink of an eye..it affects more bodily systems than just the lungs..i had it when i was 35 yrs old ...was never sick a day in my life..so being elderly or ill to acquiring pnuemonia is a common misconception...and it can be deadly..
Jim Henson the muppeteer who created the muppets and fragglerock died from a rare form of pnuemonia in 1993...not all forms have treatments available ..it IS a very serious illness.....

I cound belive what it did to me in 5 days, from healthy to a funny feeling in the chest in 3 day, by day 5 i needed morphine based painkillers, by sunday night i was throwing up lung tissue and thick blood, and clotted blood!!

Anyone who gets this wont forget it, i was lucky i survived!!! And my immune system is now at rock bottom!!

I'm going to have to completely replan my life if this doesnt go away in a few weeks, ets say that.

If id been a smoker or drinker or drug user i wouldnt have lasted that far.

In the form the elderly get they die in a few days and their system crashes!!

See who says we cant learn something on CS,,,,,

when your lungs fill up with fluid, there is no place for the fluid to go, so it starts to dump into your heart.

It's very scary....I've never been seriously ill....don't know how I'd deal with it...

not being able to breath is a horrific thing to go through, I was lucky that my son was with me, I don't remember 4 days in the hospital, but when I got out, I had so many bruises up and down my arms, it looked like someone beat the crap outta me ( I kept pulling my iv's out). It's after you get out of the hospital that is the hard time. It's a rebuilding experience for your body, and it isn't overnight.

the second time it happened was traechea edema, and that was 8 days in the hospital, 7 of which I have very little memory of. Again, had my son not been with me at the time, I wouldn't be writing this. It all revolved around anaphylaxis both times. (the doctors figured that out the second time it happened to me) It took me 6 months to feel fairly decent again. I feel badly for anyone who has a terrible bout of pneumonia or anything like it. It's so hard on the organs...not to mention the energy level.

actually princess in dumps into the lining that surrounds your heart which causes the edema from the fluid build up...just added info....

that's the way they explained it to me in the hospital, whatever it does, it will kill your heart with the fluid if not caught in time. ie congestive heart failure.......

yep thats true due to the stress put on your heart from the increased pressure and workload....;)

I too have been through my own ordeal but its so much i am not goin to get into it ...those who can benefit from it know ....;)
