So I got pneumonia.........

**THA GONZ** · 09-04-2004, 02:54 PM

Man this sucks!! Any one know how long this stuff lasts?? I am on a few different meds and I have been sick since last tuesday and I am still running a 102 fever. I do feel alittle better, but still really bad!
Also I have heard that it takes awhile to fully get over this and arobic activity is tough to do for some time after because its still tough to breath.
Any one know anything about this??

I am was supposed to start training for a fight I got coming up last week and now my trainging is shot, just wondering for how long.

Thanks guys

I would strictly follow the advice of your MD.

I hope you feel better soon. Keep your calories up.

REST..REST..REST..

First of all, I would say totally forget about training for a fight..Your lung capacity is going to be very diminished and not ready for the stress of intense cardio training..The best thing you can do is eat a good diet, keep well hydrated, rest, and take the meds you were prescribed on time and finish out the regimine until all of the meds are gone..This is CRUCIAL!!

Depending on age, health history, type of pneumonia, recover varies from person to person..Keep in mind that it is a killer, especially in the elderly and immune compromised individuals..Don't take this lightly!!

What meds did they prescribe for you?

They prescibed me ZITHROMAX and this "HYDROMET SYRUP ALP" stuff for this cough that won't quit.

Thanks for the responses guys, I am definatly following the doctors orders to a T, I can barely function anyways so I really have no choice but to lay around in bed most of the day.
