Is it true that after getting pneumonia your more prone to getting it again? I've heard this from alot of people, since I had double pneumonia 4 years ago when I was 13. I also heard once you get it your never quite as healthy like you use to be. I was wondering if that was true also. I thought what doesnt kill you makes you stronger, so you would be less likely to get it again. Thank you :cool: I got sick a few yrs ago, no known cause, I was in a coma for 2 months, both lungs were filled, during that time I was on life support, not expected to live. Since then I have been back in the hospital with pneumonia just once, after that visit I had the pneumonia shot and have had no problems, not even the bronchitis that I had been getting every year. One thing that I do try to remember when I have the flu, or get sick, is to not spend most of that time lying down, I sit up as much as possible so the congestion cant settle in my chest and I try to get the flu shots every year.
