BridgeportHeather Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 (edited) Last night, I reached for the flashlight to check out my throat, because it was hurting like hell. To my dismay, I saw tons of white spots on my tonsils and in the back of my throat. I went to work today; however, I gave folders of work for my students for Thursday and Friday to the payroll clerk and have a doctor's appointment Friday. It HAS to be strept throat...And it's painful! It even hurts to swallow water! And that Chlorosceptic Sore Throat Gargle stuff burns it like an iron! The only plus is that I now get to watch the Sox game tomorrow on CSN in my front room. Enough about that story...It seems like lots of people at Bogan are under the weather currently...Has the ailing bug hit you recently?

Capn12 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Hmm, the only sickness I have that I just can't seem to shake is the one that makes me mind-numbingly Bored at work. I guess thats the price you pay for working 3rd shift technical support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Right now I feel good, but this winter was a b**** for me illness-wise. I never felt quite right from like November til February. It was always something. Ugh. Glad THAT's over. Get well soon, Hedder!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Prawn Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I have allergies and fighting off a chest cold (so far the extra vitamin C I am taking is working!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowerCaseRepublican Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I haven't had a cold or anything like that knock me on my ass since I stopped drinking milk and instead started taking calcium supplements with my daily vitamins. But the last thing I had was a little stomach ache (which was post drinking related...tends to happen after an evening of 3 shots of Captain, 5 PBRs, 3 shots of Smirnoff, 4 shots of Stoli Orange, a Stoli Orange screwdriver and a Belgian Ale) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing, I had Bronchitis about 3 months ago. I haven't had two "bugs" hit me like this in many years. I think that this could be stemmed due to my change in environment from suburban life to having lived in the city now for several months (almost downtown, actually).

TheBigHurt35 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 My then-girlfriend (now wife) got mono a few years ago and, somehow, I never showed any symptoms. And I'm pretty sure that I was infected with the virus, if ya know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're right at the back of your throat on either side.. unless you've had them removed. Easily visable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 If it doesn't go away it could be mono. My sis had it about 6 months ago and when you looked at the back of her throat all you saw was all this white puss and stuff. Dr's prescriped it as if it were Strep throat but the anti's did do anything and then the test showed up saying it was mono. On a sidenote, are certain people more prone to strep throat? Hell I didn't even realize it was all that contagious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeportHeather Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 The test results are in, and apparently, it's not strept throat, but instead, a bacterial infection. The doctor gave me Augmentin and decongestant pills to take for the next 10 days. I should be better in time for work Monday morning.

Brian Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I had strep throat and the flu two weeks ago. Strep is going around big time. Lots of people at the gym and work have had it. Love taking horse pills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
