I wonder if there is any more I can do as a Type 2 to aid my recovery from pneumonia? I am diet controlled only and with low Carb can manage my numbers well. I got a bad chest infection on Dec 18th which flipped quickly into pneumonia by Boxing Day. I was pretty ill and had a cloudy lung and was given 20 days of antibiotics. I am much better now and taking lots of probiotics and live yogurt, 3 g Vit C with Bioflavonoids, Vit D3 and a multi Vit tablet. Also Magnesium which I take all the time anyhow. The doctors and nurse says I must rest rest and more rest and lots of fluids. I am being very good and obeying all instructions ! I have a holiday of a lifetime booked from Feb 24th to Australia and Singapore so I am determined to be well to go on that.
Can anyone offer any other ideas for recovery, alternatives or allopathic medication, tonics, drinks, foods ........anything which may have helped them !
I know I must stay warm, and getting cold definitely makes me cough, I got ill last year from being freezing onboard a ship off Iceland, and my body went into shut down.
My numbers were all over the place for three weeks after I was diagnosed but are now much more under control. The excessive fatigue is debilitating and I find I fall asleep every day early evening. I am lacking any bounce and feel as if my body is just coping with healing but can’t manage anything else ! I would love any imput for improving and healing.
Apologies for long message !
