Pnemonia Vaccine

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Tomorrow I am going to the dr for this swine flu/cold thing because it keeps getting worse. I was better for awhile, but now I am worse again. I feel like I have pnemonia and need antibotics. But how can I possibly have pnemonia? I had the pnemonia vaccine over a year ago and they are supposed to last like 10 years. Isn't the shot supposed to protect me from exactly the problem I am having? How effective is this shot? Thanks in advance.

Re: Pnemonia Vaccine

Thanks. I am going into the VA tomorrow. I guess I just check in and I get whatever dr has an opening. I have never been to VA "sick call" before. Thank goodness for digital records. Whomever sees me will have all my records at his or her fingertips. It was hard getting used to because at first, it took so long for them to fill out all the forms. Now they do it in about a minute.

Re: Pnemonia Vaccine

I saw the unschuduled nurse. I was in with her about 3 minutes. She put me on antibotics and steriods (for swelling). They are tapered steriods and she specifically told me to get in all five doses today. I didn't get my meds until 4pm. I have been trying to get in all five doses before I go to sleep. It has not been easy. She said I would start feeling better immediately which was why I had to take 7 steriod pills today. It is working. I am starting to get my voice back. A bad voice didn't stop me from talking though! She said my misery was because I had a lot of swelling.
