sounds like what happened is you had a virus that was pretty bad but then turned into pneumonia, so it wasn't necessarily a missed diagnosis. It's possible your roomate has caught a similar virus but they are putting her on antibiotics just in case. Another possibility is both of you have caught a different virus with similar chest symptoms causing you to not feel any better. In either case definitely get a follow up chest x-ray. If it's clear, then unfortunately you just need to ride it out as it takes its course.
 
Thank you all very much for your replies. Slipping back into all the early symptoms I had when the pneumonia started to develop, so riding it out 'til Monday when the clinic opens.
 
I am so sorry that you are slipping back into earlier symptoms. It's so frustrating! I am really upset that I can't get over my virus. It has been one week now for me. The antibiotics are working. Thank God! My throat feels almost completely better. And I barely cough. But on the other side of the coin I am still very weak. I went to get some groceries with my husband and was so exhausted by the time we finished. I just wanted to get back home and sit in my chair with my heating pad. Antibiotics make me feel BAD! But I just have to take them to deal with this crud. But they make me tired and rip me up. I spend half my day in the bathroom. Man I just can't win!!!

I hope that you get right in to the doctor tomorrow and get on top of this. Make them give you plenty! They should have done that in the first place if you have walking pneumonia. Good luck! Keep us posted!:angel:
