I thought I had a virus, I even thought I had kicked it. I have Streptococus pneumnia. I was dizzy yesterday that was strange.So I layed low for most of the day.

 
My chest had been hurting but I thought it was the flare and some indegestion. I started coughing last night and by this morning I was very ill.
 
Treating the pain of RA and Fibro makes it so hard to tell what is going on with your body.
 
I have some TMJ or a tooth ache also. I can not tell for sure.
 
 
Shoot, Milly!   Hi Milly, darn the bad luck.......sometimes you just can't get a break!  Please be careful with this and get to the doctor if you're feeling worse or your temp. goes up or the pain in your chest worsens or doesn't go away.  Take it easy and if there's someone around let them take care of you for awhile.  LindyMilly, I have had something similar to this only I had a bad case of bronchitis and asthma and it has left me with a feeling of coming down with a cold and minor chills.  Of course the pred. was increased to 40 mgs and I am decreasing it every day and then of course the antibiotic ritual was another pesty thing.  Lots of people are complaining about this and how difficult it is to start feeling better.  Let's both get better asap!    Wishing you well Milly....My heart goes out to you.My jaw is swollen. I got a bit self pity ish late night. I think I am over that now at least. Wow it hurts. The lower jaw bone. So Monday I will call the dentist. If it is a tooth ache then I need a different antibiotic for that.
 
I think it is RA in the jaw. Flares have a way of really pushing a person to the limits.
 
Shoot Milly? Not yet. LOL Not that self pitty ish. LOL
 
Cut back on the fruit yesterday and boom the jaw swelled up. Had some fruit cocktail secret recipe LOL and it hurts less anyway. Just do not want to wash out my ABX so a bit of sufering maybe in order to get rid of the pneumonia.
 
I can not have NSAID's with the Cymbalta arghh. So I take enough fruit and fishoil to replace an anti inflamatory. I make sure I do not over do it. Taking the abx twice a day. So I am only doing the fruit in the middle. I was doing the fruit three times a day. Just one now till the pneumonia is gone. I think the fruit helped me enough to make me cough up some green so I knew to be first at the clinic yesterday morning.
 
The jaw was sore in the morning but did not swell up till in the afternoon. Guess it wanted to hide from the Doctor. I hate that you get one thing after another and Shoot Milly! Thats when I get so frustrated the multi problems. That really wares on my brain and my attitude. Well so probably does swelling in my head. Arghhh!
