I had this during my accident, it is was treatable mostly being forced to breath some concoction of hot chemicals. I understand there has been considerable progress here. You had it during your accident recovery as you were bed ridden. It is common for an elderly person to get pneumonia after breaking a hip or leg then being bed ridden and not breathing deeply but for all these old guys here with young girls, you would think that they would be doing some heavy breathing. Or maybe it is low T. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Peterson Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Just for Reading and maybe a take on Health in Relation to the Topic Have a Read of this Link http://www.allaboutdiabetes.net/top-10-diseases-in-the-philippines/ As you can see Pneumonia is at number 8 so there are things worse that we should all bear in Mind In Fact I found this site pretty good at answering some questions that I would have asked my Doctor "Forewarned" comes to mind Edited June 7, 2017 by Jack Peterson added a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point is, there are bugs and such in places like PI that can kill the healthiest of individuals or make you damn sick, And getting exposed and sick Does wear down your immune system over time if repeated. I Think my own system finally recovered and For me, it's worth the risk to give it a shot, but always have the plan B. ....And that pneumonia shot sounds like a solid plan! A survival of heavy pollutants (human body parts and dog feces) that you breath in daily, Nickleback has been there and done that. A prime example of a typical Marine that adapts, improvised and overcummed.....he, he. Well done Master Guns! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throughout history many sieges were decided by who had an epidemic first, those within or those outside surrounding. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
