Yep, it took me a really long time to get over it.

i had my pneumono vaccine in 1999

prior to that (and right leading up to my diabetes diagnosis) i had a
bought of pneumonia

that literally left me flat on my back for 6 weeks....... i used all my
sick time and vacation time for the pneumonia, only to be admitted to
hospital in DKA from undiagnosed type 1 (...... not MODY but adult
LADA????? i dunno)

i had 3 bouts of pneumonia, each one feeling worse than the one before,
and then had the vaccine

TG it worked for me.......... i haven't even had bronchitis since then
(and ya, i got bronchial pneumonia more times than i care to speak of)

Not good! I hope you feel better soon, but...

How was the diet in the hospital? Assuming you could eat anything. I know
when I had pneumonia all I wanted to do was sleep.

Sorry to hear that Evelyn, hope you recuperate fast. Was it viral or
bacterial?

Me too plus double pleurisy each time. The first time was the one I
could have prevented by vaccine ;(

Thank you so much, all. The good wishes are much appreciated.

I don't know for sure whether it was viral, but I am pretty certain it
was. I have had a pneumonia shot a couple of years ago, but this
particular bout of bronchitis went "bad" right away, even though I had
no fever, I was very sick, even still now, a full two weeks plus since
the whole illness began.

The food in the hospital was decent, if only because I was too sick to
prepare any food for myself at home, and it was edible, and was
brought to me. Lots of carbs though. What on earth are these
hospital dieticians thinking?????? Carbs and more carbs. Then they
will give you a shot to justify the elevation in blood sugar.

I got around it by having hubby bring me food when he visitied.

They treated me with antibiotics and steroids and breathing treatments
in the hospital. I was so sick, so short of breath, and so weak,
that I was grateful for whatever was done. Lungs full of glue,
unable to breathe, even with the oxygen.

Biggest problem for me was that they couldn't find my veins. I had
to be stuck repeatedly while they blew all the few good veins, and
then messed up a couple of smaller ones to boot. Then the IV they
manage to get started after multiple sticks doesn't last for more than
a day anyway.

Nowadays they give you blood thinners when you are in bed in the
hospital, and it makes you bleed quite readily.

I was grateful to be able to get care, but the best part was coming
home and showering in my own house.

I think that only just the last two days I am finally getting my lungs
cleared out, and feeling a tad more human, but still very weak.

One good thing about pneumonia: the last time I had it I managed to quit
smoking. 20 years, now - and no more bronchitis regularly as clockwork
once a year. Yay!

Fortunately for me, I have never really been a smoker for my whole
life. Just a couple of years as a teenager, and then not very much
either.

I think this would have absolutely killed me if I had been. This was
the worst case of pneumonia ever. I had it before and was able to
deal with it better. This time not so.

Hi Evelyn, you are now over the worst part and are starting to get back
to normal - take care and don't excert yourself. Baby steps. Put on
weight if you lost a lot, that will help get some strength back[0]|.

You were hit hard when a bronchitis turned to full bacterial pneumonia,
no wonder you felt terrible.

[0] during a hospital stay when I was a teenager I lost so much weight
that I could hold around my thighs. When I could get out of bed I walked
stairs. Not sure I could do that today :-)

I am back on track trying to keep control of my blood glucose again.
Didn't lose much, but I think a couple of lbs. Will have to check.

I am treating myself gently. This whole episode scared me.
Thanks for the kind advice and good wishes, everybody.
