Since Tuesday I have felt like death! Seriously I have not been this sick in years, crazy high fever, chills one second, sweating like a pig the next! Then my throat felt tight, like I was swallowing daggers, body aches.......the flu I thought! I've barely been able to eat which obviously has some perks, a bowl or two of soup and some oatmeal was all I could stomach. My right gland is the size of a golf ball and hurts if a finger so much as grazes by it, ouch!

I missed work, I slept, I didn't sleep, I threw ice cold cloths on my head one minute as my face flared up and took six baths in one day to heat my body temperature up as I could not stop shivering, I soaked my sheets with sweat one second and bundled up like I was in a snowstorm the next.

I finally went to see the Dr. three days into my hell, strep throat he said and gave me a prescription. So here I am going into the long weekend feeling like a piece of shit. Honestly I would have eaten my own shit if he had told me that would help, I felt like dying.

I'm ever so slightly better today, no fever which is a blessing but my throat still feels like tiny razor blades are slicing the sides as I swallow and that gland is still tender. I HATE getting sick, ugh!!

Strep throat is SO miserable. Knock on wood...I haven't had it in years. Poor thing. Hang in there and hope you feel better soon.

I can't believe you wrote that you would eat your own shit if that would help - Miss Ash!

I've never had strep throat though, so maybe I should shush....

Hope you feel better very soon!!

I had strep throat on my 21st birthday and it was exactly as you described. I also remember being really hungry but it hurt too much to eat which sucked!!

Hope you are feeling better by now!
