Today i finally took my last antibiotic for the second time. Two and a half weeks ago i was diagnosed with pneumonia. I took the antibiotics for seven days and got a shot. Three days after I finished them I woke up with a horrible sinus infection. The whole left side of my head hurt and My nose was pouring and when I blew it, old blood came out. i was also running a low fever. Three days after that I could hardly even get out of bed with a fever of almost 104. My sinuses felt fine though. My dh took off work to drag me to the doctor. They did all kinds of blood tests, said my white blood cells were way to high and my pulse was way to fast(almost 140). Finally they did an x-ray and found that the side that the pneumonia had been on was clear, but that I had developed it in the other lung. AND I had a sinus infection on top of that! Sheesh. I was on out patient for 3 days with the threat that if I didn't start getting better that I was going immediately to the hospital. I also got 2 shots in the rear end and another 7 days of antibiotics. And I'm only 27! I have another appt. on Friday for another blood test and x-ray. After that they want to check my heart because my pulse stays way too high. I remember now why I avoided them!!
