emphysema and pneumonia with pain

[freddiefalkner]

Sometime in the last year I was diagnosed with emphysema, Put on oxygen and inhalers.  Back in April of this year, I was diagnosed with pneumonia, no cold  no cough, chest not sore, just a very severe pain in the back of my right lung.  1 month ago I was diagnosed with the same thing.  I have taken 2 rounds of the z-Pack  1 round of another anti-biotic (can't remember the name) and today I went back doctor says micro-plasms up, chest x-ray  abnormal ( they say there is a nodule on my right lung.  I asked, what are micro-plasma s  ?  he said bacteria, and I am treating you as if you have pneumonia.  I do not understand.  I have new meds today.   Biaxin Xl  for 14 days, cough medicine and he agave me a steriod shot.    i am into this this time 1 month.  I am getting very weak.  I also went to a pulmonary doctor last week, just happened to feel  better that day.   I took my test results and x-rays to him.  He says come back to me when you aare very sick and I will do my own test to find out what is wrong.  I did not take to him at all.  What do you advise me to do? and what do you think about all of this?    Thank you so very much   Freddie Falkner
