Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hi Mari, I’m so glad you did go to ER – but sending you home 4am!! Do try and get follow-up w your doctor asap, - for anyone to get pneumonia is tough, but w an existing lung cond etc etc, even more important to get the right treatment: and I’d really check out use of steroids, it is curable w/out, and while they give you an immediate sense of you’re recovered, as soon as you go off the roids, you’re back where you were, but also have very great risk of later osteoporosis, which if in your spine, complicates having percussion ... Just my cautionary tale !! Steroids WILL result in osteoporosis if taken for any length of time, not to mention a bucket of gut and other probs, and they DO NOT CURE!, Hope you get well, well, and can take all the time you need to become well again, Joy -- -- " Wealth is nothing, position is nothing, fame is nothing.
