I've been sleep deprived for almost 2 weeks with pneumonia now. This is my 3rd day on the antibiotics. I've noticed some mental changes. The list of side effects mentioned a lot of mental stuff. The great thing is I don't know if this infection was bacterial or viral. If it's viral the antibiotics won't help any.

I've got a pretty good feeling the antibiotics are helping. I'm coughing less, coughing up a lot less mucus, and it's been coming up clear. I'm hoping this is actual progress and not just some placebo effect on my mind. My lungs still have fluid in them and are gurgling a lot. That hasn't changed at all. I've got 2 more antibiotics to take then I should wait 3 more days. If it's still pretty bad I am supposed to go in for a chest x ray.
