    I'm sorry helen50835, I know it is so very frustrating when the doctors are not being proactive and moving fast enough to get you up and feeling better quicker. I too have been sick since April-May, something in Lowes caused a reaction in my lungs, my Dr thought I had bacterial pneumonia, after three different antibiotics and three doses of steroids-nothing changed. So I do understand. If you wouldn't mind I would like to pray for you, and your doctors? Please try to stay positive, rest and walk just a little if you can.
