I feel quite fed up so feel the need to let off steam.
I've been getting over pneumonia since beginning of Feb and I've had it really bad this year, I've failed lung function tests and am currently awaiting results of lung X-rays.
This is the 4th year running I've had pneumonia, the worst I had it was the first time 11yrs ago..
I'm a non smoker, avoid being in smoky places or around people smoking yet constantly hear how I should "give up"
I've been told I am to totally avoid fumes, vapours and chemicals until I get the OK to continue
This past week just as I thought I was on an upward curve I've taken another bad turn, I'm again in pain when I breathe, walking and talking hurts, my head bangs from coughing due to running out of air, my right lung feels like its vibrating as its deflating, the crackling popping and wheezing makes my cats growl at me, my back and neck ache from trying to sleep raised up.
For the past two months I've not only had these issues but also walking even small distances wears me out, makes me breathless and makes my heart race.. It's like running at speed at a slow pace, the breathing and heart racing feels like my body has been running, it's weird. And painful as I can't get the deep breathfuls of lung air that I need so it takes a while to kinda wait for it all to calm down
I have no car, when I was working in the salon it was a half hour walk (at speed) away from the school (15mins at speed away from home) so much longer doing a slow and steady trip by foot.
I've been advised to limit the amount of stress I'm putting my lungs though and even been banned from walking into the town and walking home with the shopping - not that I could do it at the moment anyway.
I've got all my nail gear around my lil spare space yet can't use anything
I have to admit to doing two sets of nails in this two months and suffered horribly for it.
I'm worrying incase this time it's a more permanent story of no chemical work, nails are what I love
Like I said previously, I'm just blowing off steam with my favourite family.
