Re: Pneumonia after effects

hans, that sounds awful. I'm glad that the issue has been resolved for you. I will definitely decline that antibiotic if it's ever offered. I really hate taking antibiotics, but I also know (from experience) that in cases of bacterial infection there's really no other option.

I also find very interesting your GERD causing your pneumonia. I had an incident in January, in which I had vertigo - in bed! I've never had vertigo ever. I knew at the same moment also that I had indigestion. Apparently what happens is that the acid goes up the esophagus and then the molecules go into the Eustachian tubes causing the vertigo. At the same time, I had a little pain on my left side, near the stomach, that a nurse then told me was the pneumonia. So I think the pneumonia was brewing inside me for a while (I've never had acid reflux, I don't even know what it feels like, so it was all very strange to me.)

While I was in hospital (in the US I should add, because I was visiting - it was the first time I'd ever been in a US hospital even though I'm American), the dietician came round and explained that the lungs and stomach are actually the same kind of tissue and develop from the same stem cells. This was fascinating to me as I'd never heard this before. Anyway, just to show that the stomach and lungs are really very connected.

Back to clarinet things now!
