I nearly died of double bronchial pneumonia at the age of five.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was a sickly child, contracting tuberculosis at the age of five.
I had asthma when I was a kid, asthma so bad that it would turn into pneumonia and I almost died several times. Nobody knew why back then, but now it's obvious.
I've always had bronchitis. I've been administered the Sacrament of Death three times for it.
As a child I had terrible asthma.
Pneumonia is a disease that often flies under the radar of not just the public but even the global health community. It kills more children under 5 years old every year than AIDS, malaria, and measles combined.
In December 1988, my mother died of lung cancer. I died too. I couldn't function.
I smoked for almost 10 years. I really regret that. Thankfully, I came out on the other side. I hope my lungs are repairing themselves now.
On December 17, 1984, I had surgery to remove two inches of my left lung due to pneumonia. After two hours of surgery the doctors told my mother I had AIDS.
When I was 11, I spent eight months in the hospital with rheumatic fever and almost died.
I quit school in the sixth grade because of pneumonia. Not because I had it, but because I couldn't spell it.
