Anyone else have problems with pleurisy?

I had a bad bout of it in college. (I went to the ER b/c I passed out in a sorority meeting) It seems to be getting worse as I get bigger.  I can't lay on my left side because it feels like my ribs are going to pop out of my chest. (right under my boob)  Anyone else have this and is it getting worse?  In college I took pain killers, but obviously can't now.  Tylenol it is.

    I've had pleurisy about 8 times in the past few years. I just got it again last Monday and it lasted about a week.  I went to my pulmonologist who said there really wasn't much they could do b/c of the pregnancy.  It can be indicative of lupus so you should definitely discuss it with your doctor.  I feel your pain... those who have never had it just don't understand!!
