Well I am on day 4 of strep throat. I have not been this sick in a long time. The Dr. said it is one of the worst cases of strep she has ever seen. Lucky me. Today is the first day I have been able to swallow liquids without immense pain. Gosh...I would kill for some real food. The only things I have been able to eat are soup, applesauce, and ice cream. I'm going stir crazy from being at home. ok...I think I am done whining now...lol. I am praying that Elijanna doesn't come down with this as well.

I had strep throat last spring. We litterly went to the docs office to get meds and left to go to Indiaina right afterwards. Talk about a horrible vacation...but, we had been planning to visit my brother in Indy for several months and hadn't been down to his home. (he moved while I was eight months pregnant, so we had to wait to have baby number three and then the weather turned bad). I feel for you girl... (hugs)

Queen that pic totally made me laugh out loud. I needed that.
Thanks ladies...I am totally going nuts. I haven't done much but watch t.v. and sleep. I am not sure what is worse the actual strep or the fever that came with it. I was pushing 103 for a couple of days. I am about to venture out to walmart to pick up one final prescription...joy oh joy. It's only 9* outside. Should be fun.

I'm so sorry you are sick. I sure hope you recuperate soon!!
SO sorry you are so sick. Wishing you a quick recovery so you can chow down some real food soon!
I used to get strep throat at least 2-3 times a year. I have learned how to stop it from taking over.
When you feel even the slightest sore throat coming on- start gargling listerine. I make sure I gargle at least 4-6 times a day. I gargle the icky brown listerine- it keeps the bacteria from taking over and helps kill some germs. Also try drinking warm tea with 1/2 teaspoon of powdered cloves. cloves has a natural numbing agent. Recently I heard that sugar helps with the suppression of coughing. Not sure if that would work. I do know that a spoon ful of honey helps soothe the sore throat. But I do swear by the gargle of listerine. It works. It helps with the tonsil stones too.

Girl, I work at our local Urgent Care and know hwat your going through. Did the Dr. give you a Z-pack. That's the best antibotic works like magic in my opinion. Feel better... I'm sending you cyber Chicken Soup with magic in it to help you eat... Hope it helps!
Feel better!

I'm not saying forget what you lost
I suppose there's a purpose in pain
What we make of ourselves has a cost
And it's paid every time we take hold of the reins

Sending you lots of hugs and a "poor baby!" to boot.
Hope you feel better soon. I'm nursing a cold that I brought back from the cruise myself. *sniffle*
