Hi Perna

My doc doesn't give me anything for pneumonia out of wariness. Had it too many times and got a complicated medical history from her point of view. So her answer is admission to hospital, let them deal with it, but I don't go unless it gets to the stage where I need oxygen...which I actually hate.

And I don't think I explained myself properly...again. lol. I'll try again....

My probs with pneumonia stem from a long spell in I.C.U. a few years back. I'm now sensitive to moisture in the air as well as cold temps. Only time my lungs are dry is in a wicked heatwave. Rest of the time...don't how to put this sorry...they're gunky and summer aside I'm pneumonic to one degree or another all the time.

(My doc keeps saying I need to live somewhere hot and dry. I asked her if she's gonna pay for it. lol.)

Anyhow, I supoose what I was really asking is to ease breathing in winter when I'm not bad enough for hospital but I'm struggling anyways...any tips on herbal remedies etc that help dry your lungs out would be great coz then I could breathe better, not feel so weak etc.

Ooh bananas, bet I still haven't explained it right?
