Well now I feel silly. Of course I was having trouble breathing - not only
do a have a sever sinus infection, I have a touch of pneumonia!
I spent the whole morning at the doctor's office - they did a pulmonary
test, got chest x-rays, gave me a respiratory treatment, and got sent home
with Augmentin, Albuterol, a respiratory therapy thingy and a bunch of other
meds.
In my defense, however, I never run a fever no matter how sick I get (my
"normal" temp is 96.8F - I joke that this is because I'm dyslexic) - and
with the fibromyalgia, the aches and pains are SOP, so I didn't realize I
was this sick.
I'm just bummed 'cause they told me I couldn't ride my bike for a week!!!!
Hugs,
CatNipped

Doh! That sucks, but at least it's not a long-term condition.
Take care of yourself and don't hop on that bike until your body is
ready!

Yeah, but it's going to be hard - I have a serious endorphin addiction!
Tell, me, why do they call it "walking pneumonia when they want you to stay
in bed when you have it? ;>

Because it's not as bad as the kind where you can't get out of bed and
walk around?
Take it easy until you have the all-clear from the doctor. I had pneumonia
once - they stuck me in hospital, I missed a family trip because the
doctor thought it would be too much for me, and I was more susceptible to
chest infections than I had been for years!

Ack! Now REST!
Lesson - if you feel like you're having trouble breathing, it's
because you ARE having trouble breathing! You're not prone to panic
attacks, so take those sort of symptoms seriously.

Watch for any signs of a secondary infection, such as strep throat,
and, once you have reached the point where the doctor said that you
could go back to exercising, do so by steps. Your body will be weaker
from having had to fight the infection. I have had pneumonia a couple
of times, and each time it left me feeling drained of energy for some
time afterwards. It took a while to get my stamina back.

Yeah, I feel like I've been rolled over a cople of times by an 18-wheeler!
Problem here is that with fibro, I *always* feel that way and have to ignore
it most of the time if I'm going to lead a normal life - so it's hard to
know when I should pay attention to my body.

This is my definition of fibromyalgia
"Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt doesn't work".

LOL! Yep. I don't remember a single minute during the last 10 years or so
that I haven't had pain in every part of my body.
