Last Saturday I was in the ER because of a high fever. They did an x-ray and told me I had pneumonia, and gave me some antibiotics. My fever has gone away (nothing over 99 now) and my oxygen levels are good, though I still am wheezing, and in general feel very bad/off.
Slowly, my energy level appears to be improving - I am able to walk around for a bit, maybe 10 minutes, and can handle being up and interactive with others unlike the first few days.
But, I tell you, it FEELS like it's not improving. It's weird, like I don't even feel human, much less "like myself." It feels like it will never get better. I think it's viral at this point, because I had sinus problems and a cough prior to the start of wheezing and fever. I also started prednisone for the wheezing.
Ugh!!! Any and all suggestions are appreciated, for beating this or merely for coping! It's a hard time. I know it could be worse, but it's a struggle to get though and it's terrifying.
