Guess what I've got! I wish I was kidding.

I went in to the doc's when I told my mother that it "hurt to breathe". She said to go to the doctors, so I did. I'm glad I did! Apparently if left longer, I'd have wound up with pneumonia (I had some symptoms, but not most for a diagnosis of pneumonia). I've got chills, no temperature but stuffed up sinuses and phlegm in my lungs ... so I hack a lot. Oh, and the whole hurting to breathe thing. It actually hurts LESS to cough and hack then it does to breathe! Thankfully it was caught before it became pneumonia!

It's a bacterial infection, so I'm on a twice daily antibiotic for 10 days.

I've been on it for 1.5 days now, and I still feel like crap. Actually my throat hurts more today then it hurt before. Now I feel wheezy. Sigh. I wish I could breathe and stopped feeling like I've got the flu! (I even got the flu shot, first time in a long time and I've got THIS!)

Anyone else ever had one of these?
