Hello.. Since May of this year I've had pneumonia three times along with three hospital admissions. I was even referred to Vanderbilt and was pushed out as fast as I got in. I finally went to see a immunologist and thank the Lord he kept doing labs and he found it. The human body carries 23 antibodies that fight different strains of pneumonia.

Thank you so much for sharing. This is good information.
I have had this happen to me in the past. One year I had pneumonia from dec2 through March 17. Almost didn't make it through this. Will have to ask Dr about this. I have several cases a yr still. Thanks for the info. And hope your pain is bearable sometimes the worrying about it is worse than actual pain
Thank you I will look into it. However let me ask this does anyone wake up to pain everyday? I have pain and stiffness every morning last at least 2 hours stiffness but the pain is constant taking plaquenil and been on orencia about 3 months my doctor don't like to give prednisone but I have taken it works some times. I just hurt. Any suggestions
Inzar if I start having a cough I go right to the dr. Last time I had pneumonia I had a cough several days and then I had a horrible pain in my left upper back for three days and when I went to the dr I had a large mass of pneumonia. On the biologics I don't run a fever or have a high white count cause my immune system is supressed so keep that in mind. I will not let a cough go very long.
I am waiting to see doc about silly cough I've had for 8/9 weeks now. There is always something else !
