I've had the flu and pneumonia before at the same time, and man...I agree, it fucking sucks. Good luck and rest up

Hope you feel better --- I was out a couple weeks ago....
My sister in law is a PA and thought I had H1N1, but I didn't bother going to the docs because they wouldn't do anything anyways....missed some work for a few days, which is odd for me as I generally use 1-2 sick days per year...

Right, I wasn't gonna go to the doc either but when my cough was a little off and my fever was hanging around I figured it might be something worse than flu. Turns out I was right.

Pneumonia runs in my family as both grandmothers and my mother died from it. Because of that my doc recommends the pnemonia vaccine. I just got it updated last week. It's good for five years.

gorocks, did it develop into pneumonia, or do you literally have both at the same time?

Well my fever started Monday for the flu, and my pneumonia started Wednesday ... so I think it developed, but there was definitely some overlap.

Actually, if it is the flu, tamiflu or some other antiflu meds can lessen the severity of the symptoms.
Lung involvement with the any flu is a serious complication, and can take you very quickly. If you have ANY difficulty breathing get to the ER.

I had pneumonia, and they think it developed from swine flu. I was in the hospital for quite a while.

I have a feeling I may have the same thing, but I've not yet been to a doctor (can't afford health insurance). It sucks, badly.

Now I suppose we have our stupid Democrat leadership to thank for this. People have the perception that because they don't have insurance, that health care isn't worth spending money on. Somebody else should have to pay for us getting sick....the insurance company, the government/taxpayers....etc. Just don't take the money out of your own pocket. If you need something, you should pay for it. Nobody gives you your housing for free....nobody gives you free food. If you blow out a sidewall on your car's tire, you pay to fix it. If you break a window in you house, you pay to fix it.
But with healthcare...'I don't have insurance' so i'm not gonna go to the doctor.
