The phone rang as an attack came over me; gasping for breath, I somehow found strength to lunge for the receiver...gasping a HELP to the caller, I suddenly couldn't breath...at all - I was taken to the ER, where I was diagnosed with pneumonia and promptly placed in an oxygen tent, given an inhaler, and thought to myself...So, THIS is pneumonia...it definitely sucks I have Planta Fasciitis in both feet; Plantar fasciitis (pronounced PLAN-tar fashee-EYE-tiss) is an inflammation of the plantar fascia (plantar means the bottom of the foot, fascia is a type of connective tissue, and itis means inflammation). The plantar fascia encapsulates muscles in the bottom of the foot, but it also supports the arch of the foot by acting as a bowstring that connects the ball of the foot to the heel.

Ever since I can remember, I've suffered from all things related to allergies and sinus problems; you name it, I've had it...I finally know who to blame!
On left, my deviated septum; On right, a normal sinus for comparison...
