This morning I woke up and knew it was time to get into to see my doctors. I could tell that things were going south in my lungs really fast. I called my doc and he told me to come in right away. I know I should have went yesterday but I guess I let the hustle and bustle of the season get in the way of taking care of myself.
Once again I am forced to learn the hard way… Darn stubborn old me… I think I can do it all and that my body will just follow. Oh well live and learn…hopefully I will learn sooner than later next time!! haha!
Doctor was glad I came in when I did. He said it was definitely bronchitis but heading to pneumonia. He told me that with my disease bacteria from the cold gets trapped down there and your body is unable to cough or breath it out due to the granulomas. Although I have tried to stay away from medications they past year and only take supplements, I knew there was a place and time for these meds.
Doctor gave me a strong antibiotic that would not only fight infection but also reduce inflammation. He told me that he knew I did not like to take steroids and how it caused me to flare more. He really wanted me fill the prescription for them since he was leaving out of town for Christmas and did not want to have to see me in the hospital over the holidays. I told him I would fill them and take them if I was having trouble breathing.
I was grateful for the promptings I had this morning to get into to see my doctor. I know that Christmas would not have went so well had I not taken care of myself first. LIVE AND LEARN…haha
