Hi It's now three months since I was hospitalised with pneumonia and I'm still exhausted.

Is thus normal, is anyone feeling the same?

Cheers

    As Nanny1086 says - it can take a very long time to recover fully! Adult pneumonia can be a serious illness - that's why you ended up in hospital. If you then try to do too much your body protests and tells you it's tired so you rest more. 

    Hope you feel a lot better soon - but you are allowed to take it a bit easier than normal!
