In 2004, I was on Enbrel for rheumatoid arthritis. I developed pleurisy on my lung that got so bad (missed by my doc twice and ER once) it collapsed my lung. Third visit to my doc she followed me to hospital to be admitted in ICU. 12 painful awful days in pulmonary ICU and 8 days in regular room. They broke my ribs, took my lung out, scraped it and tacked it back in. I was on mega antibiotics and they called my family in a couple of times.

No big deal, right!

I think I have a fungal infection in my lungs. Should have kept going to doc until they gave me an antibiotic. I have an appt at 1:30 tomorrow. I'm actually blowing the whole day off tomorrow. I need a break to give myself an attitude check.
