Glad you got to the bottom of it. I know that's got to be a relief. Home you get well soon and regain your strength.

When it told me I thought it was an analogy, then he gave me some info. Was surprised too.

Well it turned out to be re-occurring Walking pneumonia....

Do you have reflux or heartburn issues? Chronic cough, throat clearing, hoarseness? Wake at night with regurgitation?

Did have heartburn and chronic cough, that brought up fluid.

Recurrent pneumonia in otherwise healthy 40 year-olds, especially those with chronic cough/throat-clearing, makes me think first of recurrent aspiration from regurgitation and micro-aspiration. I think that upper GI evaluation including ambulatory pH testing (Bravo or ResTech) should be part of your workup.

Most of the symptoms I though were just allergies.

If not treated it can perpetuate, so the 3-4 months were me just continuously giving it back to myself.

Got a Drip today. I have to stay away from others for up to 10 days. No idea how many I might have given it to with my travel

Don't let them treat you with a fluoroquinolone antibiotic such as Levaquin. They will weaken your muscles even more and if you are still working out could cause injury. I had pneumonia back in 2014 and I was prescribed Levaquin. About 7-8 days later I was doing a heavy squats. I was by myself but using the spotting blocks in the squating rack thankfully. 2nd rep into a set and I tore a hamstring. I went straight down. Thank god for the spotting blocks otherwise I would have been seriously hurt. When I went to the Orthopedist he asked if I was on any medications and I told him about Levaquin. He said that whole family of antibiotics will cause muscle weakness and that was probably the cause of the torn hamstring. If you are on a antibiotic from that family then be very careful during your workouts.

The pneumonia would explain the elevated WBC's and weakness. Your cells are too weak fighting the infection which will affect your overall muscle strength.

Hope you get better. Keep us posted on your recovery.

I suggest starting your lifting again from 100lbs less than your max before and work your way up.

sometimes this could be cause by low blood sugar.`
