Ok, so I got tired of blogging about how crappy I feel, but the reality is, my bronchitis isn't gone yet. I felt like I was on the mend last week, only to be hit harder this week. I have a dr's appointment today at 3:30 and from what I've heard about walking pneumonia, I bet I've got it. It can be caused from crap in air conditioner vents. Hmmmm.... I think the one in my class could win a prize for containing the mold most and just general crap. Walking pneumonia can be viral and I know mine is. 3 weeks of antitiotics would've taken care of it if it was bacterial!
"Pneumonia simply means inflammation in the lung. It can be caused by microorganisms, viruses, chemical irritants, or foreign bodies. The phrase 'walking pneumonia' refers to a group of pneumonias that, even if untreated, would not confine someone to a hospital, or even to a bed. They can, however, make someone feel miserable with a severe cough, fever, chills, headache, and abdominal pain."
