Never been sooo sick....

[L.West]

OMG - I somehow got Pluracy - what a nightmare this has been. I was in sooo much pain from fluid around my left lung. I couldn't lay down, couldn't sit down and every single breath I took felt like I was being stabbed.

I finally broke down and went to the hospital on Tuesday afternoon because I just couldn't take it any longer.

That is where I was diagnosed with pluracy. Have any of you ever had or heard about this condition. I wasn't even sick with a cold prior to this - it came out of nowhere.

I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. I am now taking anti-inflamatories and muscle relaxers.

Wow.. I hope you get well soon...

It is just very hard to breathe - my lungs feel like they are shrunk or something. I do feel a little better with each passing day.

I just wish I knew how I got this and where it comes from.

The name rings a bell.
I just researched it, and sometimes you never know where it comes from for sure, just like the illness I battled for the second half of 2011.

The most likely cause of yours seems to be caused by a viral infection of some sort (says it's the most common cause). I don't know, but that really sucks. I'm glad you're feeling a little bit better every day.

Get well!
