[quote:aznchick86:MV8xNzkxMjE1XzI5Nzc1NzAzX0U0NkQxN0My] Thank you for posting this..I had viral pneumonia before and it was not fun. You forgot to mention hallucinations as a symptom due to the high fever..I was in bed for a little over 2 weeks because of the symptoms. My doctor told me that I would of had to go into the hospital to have my conditions monitored if my symptoms got worse..I was about 8 or 9 years old when I got it :( [/quote]
