Woke up in the middle of the night, thought i was just thirsty cause my throat hurt. Woke up, it still hurt. Realized that I have friggin' strep throat. Anytime I get sick, ever since I was a kid, I get strep. I can easily diagnose myself.

Went to student health today, got some penicillin. Thank God. But they said since I caught it so early, i'll probably feel worse before I feel better b/c it doesn't kick in for about 24 hours. So far they're right. All day it's been downhill.

ARGH! I hate being sick

That's 'cause tequila (or scotch or vodka or Jack Daniel's

) contains a well-known anti-viral agent.

Not responsible for hangovers, though... that's Dr. Seltzer's (hangover helper) department!

I hate strep. I had it about 20 times in college. No joke. Drink tea and soup and take your medicine. Chloreseptic throat spray helps too.

Unfortunately strep is a bacteria, so the antiviral agent in tequila won't help. Unless you do mean antibacterial. Obviously I've never heard of what you're talking about

Better stick with the penicillin.

Seriously though, maybe I should try the tequila thing when I get a cold...

SSS, I like OTW's idea better!

Have enuff " te kill ya " you wont care anyway!

That is why I am never sick! Deal with asswholes all day who want to cough on me and tell me how F*****ng sick they ARE!

My 2 fav words:

Fu**ing and Morons!

Butt them together and what do you have F-M's!

TADA!

Ouch! Feel better.

Fortunately, I have only had strep once in my life (knocks on wood). But I remember how horrible I felt, so I wish you nothing but good wishes to feel better. I hate being sick, especially when the weather is warming up. Well, atleast it's supposed to warm up, but such is not the case here in Maryland. Anyway, feel better!

Hey, I'm sick too! NO FAIR!

justamom · #12 04-10-2003, 10:08 AM

DO NOT DRINK IF YOU ARE TAKING AN ANTIBIOTIC!!!
...or pain reliever or any sort of drug if you want to get better and in some cases LIVE!

Hope you feel better soon!

REST!!!

Thank you everyone for your get well wishes!

I woke up this morning, after about 10 1/2 hours of sleep (i love not having class in the morning on Thursday) and 3 doses of penicillin yesterday- and I FEEL BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo! Still not 100%, but I don't need shot anymore, hehe.

Thanks everyone!

Glad to know you are feeling better.

I self diagnose myself with Mono all the time. I've had it twice for sure (went to the doctors) and prolly like 3 other times. It is easy to self diagnose yourself if you've had it a lot.
