still sick as hell. Not coughing as much blood but still occasionally. Fever and chills.

 
I just feel rotten. if I am not decidedly better tomorrow I will go back to dr and ask for IV antibiotics.
Coughing blood?  Yikes, that can't be good.  I have a feeling you'll be seeing the doc tomorrow.  Let us know.Kathy, I am so sorry!  Yes, go to the doctor!  Pneumonia took me 8 weeks and several doctor and 1 ER visit to get over.  You must be very, very careful!  Are you still on steroids?  How is your son?  Please let us know how it goes, though I know you won't feel much like being on the computer. 

I am sending you all the best I can muster in warm thoughts and healing energy.  I am humming for you and Jakie, Cathy!

I was coughing up blood once too...turned out to be pneumonia and my docs at the time weren't bright enough to tell me to stop my MTX.  I kept taking it and the blood thing kept getting worse and worse.  That's an awful thing to see when you cough and there's a big old chunk of blood.  Scary as hell too! 

Take care

It's late Sunday, but call your doctor early Monday.  I think you should be in the hospital on IV antibiotics and pulmonary lavage and treatments.  I don't mean to scare you but this is way beyond recovering.  If you get worse this evening or tonight please go to ER.  Don't ignore this.  ((((Hugs)))) LindyYes please get to a doctor pronto!!!!  You need some good meds and someone to take care of you. You need total rest with someone bringing you chicken soup- is that possible? Thank you everyone.
 
Its weird  its like this morning I'm in a Disney cartoon.. Birds chirping, little friendly bunnies and squirrels and mice, singing rainbows..
 
 I have zero cough, zero pain, took a bath for the first time in a week.
AND.. I ate.
 
I dropped 13 pounds this past 3 weeks.  Not that I can't afford it  but  I'm not reccommending it as a weight loss method.
 
I got up at 630  then went back to bed about 9 while Jakie watched a movie in our bed. So believe me I sure am not over doing  ANYTHING..
Glad to hear it! Hope it continues!Kathy, glad to hear you are doing better, however, allow me to echo Lindy, do not take any chances.

Best wishes, Shug
