Lung and Diarrhea problem

[Colonialgirl]

Sick Again
It started Friday 2/16 when I passed "gas that turned out to be load of juicy smelly brown stuff. My lungs were also wheezie and I was barely hacking up thick yellowish stuff, could hardly breath. It kept hanging on and I took cough meds, etc etc but couldn't stomach eating (weight 198----> 187) Spent time sleeping, drinking liquids, etc. Talked to a Doc, " oh yeah something like that is going around"
Finally went down to the VA ER , they took a nose swab and I lad around in a bed for about 2 hrs and had to finally "buzz the call button "; Doc showed up and said no virus, gave a prescription for a diarrhea pills and I went home. Today after 12 days I can finally eat and breathe without wheeze, still some junk now and then when I cough, but feeling much better . STILL DONT KNOW what I had.

Hey, Turned 83 Feb 27 WHOOPIE !!!

Lungs it sounded like you had pneumonia. And for the diarrhea it sounds like a stomach virus but then I'm not a VA doctor.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY two days late. Glad you are on the mend. I had a similar 'illness' the first of the year. Never got out of bed for a week except the 'john' trips. Us 'older' bunch don't seem to bounce back as quickly as we used to.

Sounds like two different issues. Look up "Norovirus" , which is all over the place. It would explain digestive problems.

The lung problem could have been completely separate. Anything from a separate infection to wild fire pollutants if you are in their path.

Happy Birthday.

Glad you are feeling better.

Remember... at our age, never trust a fart.

Happy Birthday, Pam.
Ya know you're kind of an important person around here...please be good to yourself.
Speaking for myself, I learned all about fart trustworthiness on a government sponsored trip to Southeast Asia many years ago...
Best,
Jeff
