I am going to the Dr., but I was just wondering what you all think this might be. I had a cold that started over Thanksgiving Holidays back in November. The cough lasted for weeks through Christmas.
For the last two weeks my chest on the right side has hurt when I breathed in. I am tired and wear out easily, but I am working now and have three kids...that seems normal to me. But yesterday the coughing got worse, and I can hardly breathe in for the pain on the right side.
I sleep on my left side...when I rolled over during the night the pain was quite sharp but eventually subsided...later I rolled back over and it did the same thing. Does that sound like Pnuemonia to you? I have never felt the pain that sharp since it started hurting when I breathed in a couple of weeks ago.
you suffer with bronchitis too, right - best get checked out a.s.a.p.
hugs.... very very gentle ones!
(I broke ribs coughing when I was with FQsis.... hurts like heck.... go sooner, not later)

that's a pretty good guess, but it's best you see your doctor, which you are, which is good, so well, everything is good
except for you who feel bad, but hopefully you'll feel better
i need a cup of tea, then i'll feel better

@Montana,
I am going to make the appt as soon as they open. Hoping I can get in quickly - the kids are off today - I get to take them with me...that should be fun.
Thanks Montana, Iz and dj...I really don't feel that bad - I can still do stuff...the tiredness just comes with the territory I think. I do get Bronchitus pretty regularly...
I just wanted to be prepared. I don't have to miss work do I?
If you have pneu....... mmmmmmm..... not sure - wouldn't have thought so... but dunno.... but you shouldn't be picking up babies if it hurts girlie! Broken rib.... same deal.
They should x-ray you. Immediate test would be blood oxy levels - little thingy on the end of your finger - if your oxy levels are lower than normal then you should get immediate treatment.
Can't afford to take any chances...... RIGHT!

@mismi,
Well, are you having trouble breathing? I mean a little scary kinda trouble?
Yep - 2 of when FQ was weaning A-girl. We were sharing a bed and when A-girl cried I would go in to her whilst FQsis had cabbage leaves in her bra! (girl thing).... I had a really bad cough so I was coughing into the pillow at nite to try and make sure A-girl and FQ didn't waken - 2 snapped...... hospital for 8 days...... A-girl was weaned. Happy days.... blooooooody painful. Couldn't take a breath without HUGE pain.
, you're getting sleepy
