You take care and find out what you need. Those symptoms could also be COVID, bronchitis, or even pneumonia and you don't want to take a chance with any of them. Mostt likely, of course, is just a persistent URI, so I'll cross my fingers.

Thanks, David. It was definitely an URI…exacerbated by seasonal allergies. Finally feeling better and slowly catching up with stuff. Cheers!

Please do not pull your six-gun to stop me if I have told you this before, but I developed pneumonia in MAY. There appears to be something afield that is causing pneumonia across

the Southwest. Where I live there was a notoriously dust-blown spring season which finally

overwhelmed my old immune system. I contracted a viral infection and suffered with that for

three days, after which I immediately detected evidence of bacterial pneumonia and went

to the doctor, damn quick! It took me nearly a month to regain my full strength and ambition.

I had to stay on penicillin for nine days. Pulled me back from the grave, it did.

. I am glad you are taking care of your body during this stressful time of moving house.

Thanks Clint, Clint's doctors,🥼🩺💊💉😷👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ and Irving Penn. Here, they're not scheduling roadside mowing early enough, so there's plenty of ragweed, goldenrod, and others already going to seed to make even more plants.

I’m over 21? Then why do I keep getting carded? lol

As for me, the nurse practioner said I’ve done a good job from letting it get too far into my lungs, but it’s trying so got some antibiotics on order. Cheers!

To make you feel better, watch the Barbra Streisand/Ryan O'Neal film "What's Up Doc?" It's one of the funniest comedies of all time! (Although it doesn't have anything to with health...)

Don’t take away my “gay card” but I’ve never been a fan of either, so always avoided it like the plague. But I’ll keep it in mind…based solely on your recommendation. :-*

Oh! You have to see it now! Streisand is hilarious and O'Neal and very hot in it! I showed it many times in my classes over the years and it went over very well.

Allergies suck. Getting regular checkups is just the way it is after a certain age. You get used to it. Feel better. Hugs.

Thanks, D.C. At least once a year, my allergies turn into an upper respiratory infection. The nurse practitioner was impressed I knew how to mostly prevent it. Antibiotics will wipe it out for good. Cheers!
