    Just before Xmas I had tickly cough. Thought no more about it and carried on as normal. Then the day after Boxing Day, I went upstairs and was so out of breath that I had to lie on the bed till I got my breath back.
    So the next morning I went to see my doctor. He listened to my chest and back. Then gave me a note to
    take to A&E straight away!!!After having a chest Xray and a CT scan
    I was admitted to a single room and put on an IV drip of antibiotics. 4 times a day for 4 days.
    When the ward doctor came round,I asked him what was wrong. He said you have pneumonia.
    I was a bit scared at that diagnosis, but it turned out ok in the end, and I was discharged on New Years Day!
    What a Christmas!!
    Hope everyone else had a good time.
    Love

    Hi Tina

    Also so sorry you have been in hospital. I’ve had a bad cough, but fortunately although I still haven’t got rid of the cough I have been OK apart from that.

    Do hope that this apart life is going well for you.

    Love.

    Coughs seem to be the in thing at the moment!

    I have the tickle cough as well but it is unusual in that I can go all day without a problem only to start coughing as soon as I go to bed. I have just woken up, dex affect, at 3:30 am and I immediately started coughing. I have now been on my computer, which is now alive and well, and the cough is receding.

    Glad they caught your pneumonia early, well done Doc.

    kindest regards – vasbyt
