Hi Folks, unusually for me I have been unwell. I had not felt right for a week or so, starting with mild fatigue, thence shivering, and slight aching, I wondered if I might have omnicrom and living in a fairly remote location just soldiered on. Although not right, I was able to cope with the demands of the day and expected that all would soon be well. In the early hours yesterday I woke in agony, wringing in sweat and struggling for breath, my dear wife overrode my protests and said your going to A&E, When we arrived the staff were wonderful, but under intense pressure, after an unavoidable lengthy wait I was examined and the charming Indian lady Doctor said you've got pneumonia, and after X rays, and blood tests this was indeed the case, I was discharged with a course of antibiotics and am now very much improved. I had no idea that I had pneumonia but it is not nice, so a big thank you to Wrexham Maelor Hospital A&E, the staff were great, and even though the local press slates them they were there for me.

Glad that you are on the mend now Alan.
For those that are not aware if you are over 65 you can get a pneumonia vaccination at your local GPs surgery it's a one off vaccine.
Cheers Ian

Thank you Ian, I was unaware that a pneumonia jab was available until a friend informed me yesterday. I shall certainly have one in future. What surprised me most was the extreme chest pains, quite frightening.

It's a once only vaccination Alan. I only found out because when I got to 70 my local surgery called me in for a Shingles vaccination and while I was there the nurse said I'll give you an anti pneumonia jab in the other arm if you like.

Thank you for writing this up as it
could help others who find themselves in a similar situation
and are unsure about what to do. Thank goodness Alan you were seen in time as Pneumonia is a treatable condition.

The very best for a healthy recovery, remember to rest and to take care of yourself.
