i have strep throat

[cthulufhtagn]

fuck this fuckin blows

i recommend opiate drugs dude, seriously. everyone i know that had strep (even kids who didnt do drugs) hunted down some pills, it really makes the experience less shitty.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

I recommend spit instead of swallow. Worked for me.

@max: would if i could. i told the doc i didn't sleep at all last night but he still didn't give me any painkillers, only something for the swelling and told me to take tylenol. pfft. i want meds dammit gimme gimme pills.

 

[Krilons Resa]

that fucking SUCKS. sorry bro.

make sure ya keep drinking LOTS of fluids at least, and take some ibuprofen for the inflammation.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

ya they have me on some heavy duty oral steroid shit for the inflammation for the next few days and i'm taking acitomenophen for the pain/fever...the shittiest part, aside from the sensation that hundreds of tiny demons are jackhammering on my tonsils, is that i have to take my antibiotics 4x a day for two weeks. man that shit is hard to remember.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

oi!

yea i really dislike taking antibiotics just because they're so over-prescribed, not long now till the uber-resistant bacterial plague wipes out a third of humanity. or the next flu epidemic.


on the plus side i still get to enjoy my favorite ben and jerry's ice cream

holy balls of belthezar, this is good shit

GAHHH my throat has persistently been sore for the past 4 weeks. No other noticeable symptoms to speak of. This can not possibly be strep throat I reckon?!?! Could it be possible that I have a throat infection and nothing more!?!? GAHHH!! It hurts to type. I may have to see a doctor if I cant overcome this in a month or two.






Help Me...

no other symptoms, it's not strep. it could actually be mono, you should see a doc if it's been going on that long.

Mono is usually accompanied by fever and fatigue. I feel like a million bucks, except for this dagger that is wedged in my esophagus. I'll probably go to a ENT sometime this week. Don't worry Matt, once I find out what it is, you'lll be the first to know my brother!

well good luck. apparently you can have mono and have no symptoms but a long-lasting sore throat, but it could be a number of things. get well soon, i recommend emergen-C
