  - it's because I'm sick (I also am having my semi-yearly back spasms), so the increased hr has a reason I can diagnose -- nm - dogbert183 Nov 2, 20:15 9
    - sfek: I only posted that because it's a sign to look for with pneumonia. pretty much I'm just waiting for the fever -- nm - dogbert183 Nov 2, 20:16 8

        oh, and about the last line of your IM: I agree, if there's a fever at all I'm going. I have no problem bugging my cow orkers -- nm - dogbert183 Nov 2, 20:47

        I got mine about 2 weeks ago. our policy is that if you don't get the vaccine, you have to wear a mask whenever in contact with patients all winter. - dogbert183 Nov 2, 20:42 2

        no. I would think it's more likely the flu than pneumonia, but I have no other symptoms other than what's listed - dogbert183 Nov 2, 20:40 1
        
        I've had pneumonia several times and it always starts the same way--I get real tired and have a headache for a couple days. - Trish Nov 2, 20:51
