      Same, but I had dextrose, I had to have antibiotics and I cough so hard that I vibrate.
      One day I saw blood going up the tubes. I was not scared but I was rapidly shivering.

    I had pneumonia when I was little in the 70s & had it again this year in May. Both times in the same lobe left lower lobe. This year was the worst.

    I had Penumbra about 7 years ago when I was 6 years old. I don't remember anything about it at all but I have been told I had a 106 fever and I was so sick I was unable to walk. I honestly had no idea what it was until I watched this video. The person who made this did a really good job at explaining.

    I was diagnosed with it yesterday and tomorrow is thanksgiving. It sucks but it’s not as bad as a lot of other cases. Oh and a sinus infection at the same time makes it a bit worse but my eye color is awesome.

    Jamie Magnate, monkeyarura, and Jenna, I see where you all are coming from. I've had asthma since I was a little kid and still have it now. Yesterday, I just went to the hospital and they diagnosed me with pneumonia AGAIN! I've had pneumonia when I was 1 1/2 - 2 years old and I was hospitalized for a while. I heard that my mom protested not to give me steroids for a year and instead, asked the doctors to only give me it until I feel better. That's then, and I don't remember much then. Now, I'm staying home from my school dealing with pneumonia and getting all sorts of medicine. They say I'm lucky I'm not hospitalized, but if I get worse, take me to the ER. I hope we don't need to go to that section of the hospital. To those who has asthma/pneumonia, good luck. This is the second time I could die. Oh, and what's weird is that I have pneumonia in early fall which is hot in 2017, so it could get a lot worse hopefully not. *Edited* I also had a fever and an X-ray on my waist for some reason maybe they also got my chest idk.

    Found out today I have pneumonia. I have been out of school for a week with what I thought was the flu, and when I woke up early not being able to breath coughing so hard my parents took me to urgent care and they took my xray and blood and told me I had pneumonia. At first I was excited because there would be no school for a while but than I was back in reality and remembered how crappy it feels. Having pneumonia is SO bad, I hurt so badly! I feel like I want to die every second.

      Ugu, same here. Haven't been to school for a week, I kept coughing, and sometimes threw up my food, gotten fevers at certain times :| my doctor said that my right side lung sounds crackly whenever I breathe. I got a chance to peak at the doctors paper, and it said my diagnosis was pneumonia. And I wasn't wrong because that paper had my name, birth, and crap. Sad life.

    I have pneumonia in my right lung and I am 10 years old. I have been taking antiniotics 9 days and today it is my last day :) So the total is actually 10 days. I had high fever and very bad cough :( But I am okay now! I was always 100F and always over for the first 5 days. I was always tired and wooozy :( What made it worse is that I had strep throat :( I couldn't share a drink or any food with my family because they might get it too… I took Blood tests and got IV because I was very weak ^-^ My grandma died of pneumonia but she was old then but I am still very young and I am sure I can recover! :D

    I has bronchitis 2 times when I was a year old. Then walking pneumonia lower left lobe when I was 7. It felt more like having a very bad cold. Then the next 40+ years no lower respiratory issues. Ive had influenza every few years & always recovered ok. I started getting flu shots every year since 22011.This year I caught influenza April 26. The pattern was drastically different. The fever was masked by dayquil. I was getting weaker by the day, couldn't leave the house, barely managing to eat. I was coughing intermittently, still am. Beginning May my ribs started hurting thought it was muscle aches from the flu & it felt like getting punched hard in the ribs. My practioner came to examine me at my house & heard snap crackle pop in my lower left lobe then told me I have pneumonia. Told me to call 911 since I was weak. Got chest x-ray & full confirmation of pneumonia. Didn't have to be hospitalized. Got given strong antibiotics as I have RA & diabetes too. I could feel the life returning almost the next day. Right now doing better but still weakened & fatigue easy. Still have chest pain at level one better than level 6-7. The windy weather makes me cough more. I got a follow up in 2 days. Now I'm left wondering how my respiratory system will be in the future after all this.

    I felt like hell for six weeks. No shortness of breath or wheezing. Thought I had bronchitis. I felt like I started to seriously get worse so I finally went to get help. After a chest scan I was told I had pneumonia of the lower right lung. They gave me a horse sized shot of anti biotic. Cured! This disease is no joke. They told me if I hadn't went in when i did I would have gotten very seriously ill.

I was in the hospital for a month and a half I had to get a trachatomy I had to learn how to talk and walk again I was really bad off doctors said I wasn't going to make it it feels like I was on my death bed some of my family and friends came to see me that's the worst feeling ever Im glad I made it through it I shouda been dead.

    So I have pneumonia, on my second round of antibiotics. 2 weeks since I was diagnosed, I still have a strange low grade fever, temp goes up and down up and down all day. Like I said it's low, highest it ever hits is 100.5, and that's rare, it normally stays between 99 and 99.9. Then it drops back to 98.5. I feel mountains better than last week. I really didn't start coughing till 4 days ago, and only the last two day I started really coughing up mucus. I've had blood tests, catscan, x rays and I'm definitely improving a lot but I'm definitely not anywhere near 100%. I have been to my doc almost every day this week, I'm on my second round of antibiotics, I really don't even notice the fever most of the time it's so low. No pain, just a lot of intense coughing. Why do I still have this low fever? Has anybody else been through something similar? I am just getting discouraged
