Guest guest Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Peggy, Forgive me if this qualifies as piling on, or "pickin' on Peggy", but I must add mine to others that have been responding to your stoicism. I am a world class expert on pneumonia........at least I feel I've had it enough to qualify. A couple years ago I asked one of my MD friends what it "looks" like to die from IPF. I know, I know.........His response, in true MD fashion was "don't worry, most PFers die from pneumonia" My opinion..........well, I'd be in an ER ASAP. if not sooner. The levoquin is my favorite, and it will do the trick, but it takes a few days.....Let me say.....that I admire your strength and attitude, but it's time to give it up, Darlin'. jim Subject: Re: PEGGYTo: Breathe-Support Date: Thursday, November 27, 2008, 3:58 PM i totally agree with you Bruce, Peggy please go to the dr. tomorrow without fail.love, Lou> >> > Hi Bruce, Gwynne and all, I have just started the Levaquin.
