I agree that a doc is the right way to go on this one. I once had a lung infection - felt pretty good overall, but went from a little scratch in my throat to coughing up grey stuff in 1/2 a day! Antibiotics for 3-8 days was good. The Antibiotics messed with my tummy, which made riding hard for the week, but otherwise did the trick quite nicely.

I'm with Mimi concerning the walking pneumonia. I had it two years ago and had the crackling, with some but very little balls of yellow stuff. I felt fine other than the gross crackling and the coughing. Good luck at the doc!

Yep! It's a lung infection!
So I'm on the Z pack now. Hopefully it clears up or I'll need to go in Monday for a chest x ray. Thankfully I have a doctor who understands me... He didn't put me on the medication that would require me to stay out of the sun. He said "I know that will really mess with your training. But if it doesn't clear up we will HAVE to. SO lets hope this works"... Yes, lets!!!
He could hear a bit of rumbling in my lungs and said I would have probably been REALLY SICK within a week. But he was very proud of me that I got in there before that happened.
Anyway, he thinks we got it in time to clear it with no real down time. Tho I am taking today off because my lungs are just too inflamed.
Oh and he thinks I had a sinus infection festering as well... sigh... Why NOW?!
But the good thing is it should clear pretty quick.
So thanks all for your well wishes and stern warnings. Sometimes I think I'm just being a wimp so I count on you guys to set me straight!
Stay healthy!
Ciao!
Denise

Yay! You got it early, so you should be able to kick it fast!
Denise, you are far from a wimp!! Get well, do what you can, recover fast and enjoy the rest of your training!
