I've been short of breath all spring, I've had exercise induced asthma my whole life, I thought maybe it was getting worse.
I got a cold 2 weeks ago and... pneumonia. After 6 days on antibiotics I'm over the cold, but still feel like I did a month ago, and I'm coughing up just a wee bit of red in the mornings.
Anybody have pneumonia, walking or otherwise, when do you get over it? Tuesday when I went on antibiotics the doc (in the box) told me it would take 2 days and I'd feel fine. I even told him I had a bike camping trip planned Friday (20 miles) and Saturday (50 miles home) and he said I wouldn't have a problem.
I got 1.5 miles down the road, feeling awesome. All of a sudden no matter what I did I couldn't take any air in (so not asthma). We turned around and drove to the campsite.
I'm wondering if I should go back again, or if my expectations were just too high. I really feel darned good, as good as I did a month ago. In fact, thinking of riding in tomorrow.
