derwin cooper I think the information provided on this website was very helpful. i was treated in the emergency room by the attending physicain assistant. I was told I had walking pneumonia, when i asked what that was the only reply I was given is that I was not bedridden. it wasnt until I looked it up on this website that i understood the symptoms better and now know why I feel the way I do with all the symptoms 10/20/2009
Savannah-Age 10 I was diagnosed with Microplasma (Walking Pneumonia) yesterday Sept. 12, 2009.Today it is Sept. 13, 2009.This makes the second time I have had it.Only the first time I was in the hospital this time I was lucky enough to be able to stay home.I am currently in the 5th grade and the first time I had it (when I was in the hospital) I was in Kindergarten.This sickness is very annoying and I really do not like it.So anyone who does not have it be thankful you don't.Feel free to ask me any questions you can contact me right here on this site. 10/13/2009
