No, I haven't, but I'd rather not try. I might just try to fall asleep in my chair. It is comfortable, and I seem to feel better when I'm sitting upright. I'm so sleep deprived right now, that I feel a little crazy.

Watch TV laying down on a couch/bed with the lights off.

Sleeping while sitting? I'd think that your body needs to lie down to fight the disease.

But I know how it feels, when you're so sick you can't sleep. :( Not much you can do about it. Maybe try a mild pain killer, it could help.

Re: Pneumonia
 

Do you know how you got pneumonia? And did the doctor give you those drugs on the assumption that you had pneumonia, or did he do anything to confirm it?

Docter in the house!

Re: Pneumonia
 

I went back to the doctor, and now they're saying I have a sinus infection, and whatever I had in my lungs before is gone, because I'm not wheezing. I had to get new antibiotics, so hopefully they'll work.

Re: Pneumonia
 

Haha. I get sinus infections every year, they're fun! I got my renewal for my prescription flonase, and I picked up some Claritin D on request of my doc. I took the Claritin at 10pm. Turns out Claritin causes insomnia and heart palpitations in some people...I was up all night with an accelerated heart tossing and turning and having these recurring nightmares that lasted for like 10 minutes. I'm bumping my Claritin down to noon, hopefully it will keep me awake during the part of the day I don't want to sleep.
