Return to training after pneumonia, I WANNA TRAIN DAMMIT!!!

[Krazydiamond]

Had a bout of pneumonia this past weekend weekend which put me in the hospital for 3 days. Really kicked my ass at the time, was on IV, Oxygen, antibiotics the whole bit. Got released 5 days ago with a 7 day supply of antibiotics and told to stay out of the gym for a month or at least till my follow up appointment in 3 weeks. since ive gotten home in an enviroment surrounded by quality food and supplements (havent touched anything bodybuilding related just immune/health building supps) ive been feeling great! It feels like all my lung capacity has returned, energy is through the roof and I look in the mirror and see myself deflating by the hour lol. All in all this is driving me insane. Its getting harder and harder to follow the doc's advice when I feel this well while watching myself atrophy. I know the doctor gave me reccomendations for the average joe but I feel he really underestimated my recuperative abilities and conditioning as well as my dedication to a healthy diet relative to the average joe. Anyone else gone thru this? How long till you started traing again? Reccomendations?

I would do what the doc says. Pneumonia is serious. Especially with what you experience was. If you don't have your health, you have nothing.
I think in long run missing a few weeks of training out of the year won't make or break you. If you have a solid foundation,
muscle memory should kick right in
once your Dr. has cleared you and your back in the gym.
Adjust your diet for your activity level,
but eat enough to stave off the feeling
of wasting away. Hope this helps. Get
better man.

I got pneumonia when I was in S.E.R.E school. Shit sucks man.

I also had frost bite with it and that's not fun either.

Do yourself a favor and just rest until you get over it. I didn't and it bit me in the ass.
