I am stubborn.....finally the 8th I went to the hospital...pneumonia and I almost died as the med I was taking upped my BP dangerously. So I am taking 3 strong strong meds and am still in hell. Hacking like mad, black poo, putrid taste in my mouth, sores all over my body. I have gone down to 89 lbs. as food tastes like crap.

I will never do this again.... diag myself.....I have lost half the month...

I don't understand the delay RE x=ray....they shot me right over there Monday. Get well lady.
