my lest chest and left shoulder started hurting from coughing so much - PassPorter - A Community of Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, and General Travel Forums
As of January 1, 2019, we have closed our forums. This is a decision we did not come to lightly, but it is necessary. The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk. The server software itself must be updated, and it cannot be without removing the forums.
So it is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our long-running forums. They came online in 2000 and brought together so many wonderful Disney fans. We had friendships form, careers launch, couples marry, children born ... all because of this amazing community.
Thank you to each of you who were a part of this community. You made it possible.
And a very special thank you to our Guides (moderators), past and present, who kept our forums a happy place to be. You are the glue that held everything together, and we are forever grateful to you. Thank you aliceinwdw, Caldercup, MrsM, WillCAD, Fortissimo, GingerJ, HiddenMickey, CRCrazy, Eeyoresmom, disneyknut, disneydani, Cam22, chezp, WDWfan, Luvsun, KMB733, rescuesk, OhToodles!, Colexis Mom, lfredsbo, HiddenMickey, DrDolphin, DopeyGirl, duck addict, Disneybine, PixieMichele, Sandra Bostwick, Eeyore Tattoo, DyanKJ130, Suzy Q'Disney, LilMarcieMouse, AllisonG, Belle*, Chrissi, Brant, DawnDenise, Crystalloubear, Disneymom9092, FanOfMickey, Goofy4Goofy, GoofyMom, Home4us123, iamgrumpy, ilovedisney247, Jennifer2003, Jenny Pooh, KrisLuvsDisney, Ladyt, Laughaholic88, LauraBelle Hime, Lilianna, LizardCop, Loobyoxlip, lukeandbrooksmom, marisag, michnash, MickeyMAC, OffKilter_Lynn, PamelaK, Poor_Eeyore, ripkensnana, RobDVC, SHEANA1226, Shell of the South, snoozin, Statelady01, Tara O'Hara, tigger22, Tink and Co., Tinkerbelz, WDWJAMBA, wdwlovers, Wendyismyname, whoSEZ, WildforWD, and WvuGrrrl. You made the magic.
We want to personally thank Sara Varney, who coordinated our community for many years (among so many other things she did for us), and Cheryl Pendry, our Message Board Manager who helped train our Guides, and Ginger Jabour, who helped us with the PassPorter-specific forums and Live! Guides. Thank you for your time, energy, and enthusiasm. You made it all happen.
There are other changes as well.
Why? Well, the world has changed. And change with it, we must. The lyrics to "We Go On" for IllumiNations say it best:
We go on to the joy and through the tears
We go on to discover new frontiers
Moving on with the current of the years.
We go on
Moving forward now as one
Moving on with a spirit born to run
Ever on with each rising sun.
To a new day, we go on.
It's time to move on and move forward.
PassPorter is a small business, and for many years it supported our family. But the world changed, print books took a backseat to the Internet, and for a long time now it has been unable to make ends meet. We've had to find new ways to support our family, which means new careers and less and less time available to devote to our first baby, PassPorter.
But eventually, we must move on and move forward. It is the right thing to do.
So we are retiring this newsletter, as we simply cannot keep up with it. Many thanks to Mouse Fan Travel who supported it all these years, to All Ears and MousePlanet who helped us with news, to our many article contributors, and -- most importantly -- to Sara Varney who edited our newsletter so wonderfully for years and years.
And we are no longer charging for the Live Guides. If you have a subscription, it's yours to keep for the lifetime of the Live Guides at no additional cost. The Live Guides will stay online, barring server issues and technical problems, for all of 2019.
That said, PassPorter is not going away. Most of the resources will remain online for as long as we can support them, and after that we will find ways to make whatever we can available. PassPorter means a great deal to us, and to many of you, and we will do our best to keep it alive in whatever way we can. Our server costs are high, and they'll need to come out of our pockets, so in the future you can expect some changes so we can bring those costs down.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your amazing support over the years. Without you, there's no way us little guys could have made something like this happen and given the "big guys" a run for their money. PassPorter was consistently the #3 guidebook after the Unofficial and Official guides, which was really unheard of for such a small company to do. We ROCKED it thanks to you and your support and love!
If you miss us, you can still find some of us online. Sara started a new blog at DisneyParkPrincess.com -- I strongly urge you to visit and get on her mailing list. She IS the Disney park princess and knows Disney backward and forward. And I am blogging as well at JenniferMaker.com, which is a little craft blog I started a couple of years ago to make ends meet. You can see and hear me in my craft show at https://www.youtube.com/c/jennifermaker . Many PassPorter readers and fans are on Facebook, in groups they formed like the PassPorter Trip Reports and PassPorter Crafting Challenge (if you join, just let them know you read about it in the newsletter). And some of our most devoted community members started a forum of their own at Pixie Dust Lane and all are invited over.
So we encourage you to stay in touch with us and your fellow community members wherever works best for you!

my lest chest and left shoulder started hurting from coughing so much
I have had a fever and a bad sinus infection for over a week. I just went to see the doctor yesterday and I am on the Amoxicillin. The Amoxicillin is a child' antibiotic but it works great for me. For one thing I never need anything that strong. Plus it taste good and that makes it more easy to take.
Well anyways after I saw the doctor yesterday that night I noticed that I was starting to hurt in a left part of my chest. I think it's from coughing so much. I mean I have coughed and coughed and coughed. Well today my left shoulder also started hurting.
The pain in my left shoulder and left chest can sometimes get intense. I seem to feel it the most when I was trying to sleep today. When I sit up I don't feel it was much.
Now if I was someone who never moved when I sit down and who never moves when I sleep this may not would be so bad. Because this way it would be more easy to sleep on my back and stay still. But this is not who I am. A lot of times I have to shake my legs when I am sitting down and I like to toss and turn and all that when I am sleeping.
Here is the thing. Because of this pain in my chest and shoulder when I sleep I like have to lay on my back and I can't really move. I might can shake my legs just a little bit. But I can't turn on one side or the other or the pain in the chest and shoulder start to hurt. I would have to just lay on my back to sleep and I don't have the nice freedom to toss and turn. I need to toss and turn and have the freedom so I can sleep more easy. The feeling of having to just be so still while I am laying down in bed is awful and even worse since I am so congested.
Between these 2 things I am not sure which one is worse
1. The awful pain that I feel in my left chest and left shoulder
2. The awful feeling of having to lay on my back in bed and not having the freedom to toss and turn and move like I usually do.
So anyways I just could not take this. So I am going to see the doctor at 5 pm today. He is able to see me today. If he could not have seen me today I would have went to one of those quick places that you have to go to if your doctor is booked, because I just can't take this.
Anyways right now I am sitting by my computer so the pain in my chest and shoulder is not as bad. Though at times it can still give me problems even when I am sitting up. I don't even want to try to sleep until I see the doctor.
Hope you hear some good news and it'll be better soon.
Sending hope you sleep well tonight .

I had similar thing about 3 years ago! You see, I had walking Pneumonia and coughed and coughed so hard and violently that it tore muscles in my ribs, on the left side) and my left shoulder. It hurt when I breathed and when I moved around. Lying in bed was the WORST. Depending on where your chest pain is, it could be something attached to your ribs.
My doctor wasn't so nice. He laughed at me and told me I was a wreck. (He isn't my doctor anymore...that old meanie goat!) He also gave me antibiotics and told me to rest, but I think that was more for the pneumonia than my poor rib area. Pfft. I think that sometimes if a doctor can't physically see a bone sticking out of your body, they think it's all in your head.
I learned how to sleep sitting up because that was the only way to get relief. I will tell you this, IF you have torn muscles, you will need to baby yourself a little bit until it heals. You can't really wrap anything up or put a cast on it. On the positive side, after a few weeks, it will go away and you'll be good as new. Here's to hoping that you'll be right as rain shortly!

I bet you were glad when you got better. That is another good thing about these things. When you get better you can sometimes enjoy the blessings of feeling well more so than someone who did not have any sickness or pain to start with.
I does not hurt me when I breath all the much. When I walk around it's off and on. Also just like it is for you laying down for me is the worst. It helps that I have a bed that I can adjust by movie it up or down a little so I can lay more sitting up more easy.
One thing that scares me out about having this pain in the chest. Well I know I am not having heart attack or anything. I know it's just pain in my chest. But when I think of a heart attack I think of pain in the chest. So when I feel this pain in the chest (especially when I am getting myself out of bed) the subject of heart attacks comes to my mind and that seems to make it worse than it really is. Even if I feel something in my chest that does not hurt so much that thought can come in my mind. Also sometimes that pain really hurts anyways. Like I said I know I am not having a heart attack I am just saying when I get any kind of pain in my chest that uncomfortable feeling comes into my mind.
Before I got this chest pain I coughed like crazy. Sometimes I coughed so much that if I would have coughed much more I might would have puked. Now that I think about it I could have coughed a lot less. But I just felt like I needed to clear myself and get rid of that itchy throat feeling. I did not think that my chest would start hurting this much.
This is the first time that my chest has hurt like this and I want it to be the last time. I refuse to go threw this again. So from now on if I get a sinus infection and have an itch on my throat I am going to cough a lot less. If I have to I will take something that will either take the cough away or take away what is causing the cough. Also as bad as my chest is I guess it could have been even worse and that is another reason while I am going to be more careful when I cough from now on.
