Bill has had a cold, for about a week. With all the wind, lately, my allergies are kicking up. Neither of us is sleeping well. I wake up about every two hours. The antihistamines knock me out but not for long.
The biggest sign for me that I've got strep is my tongue turns white. Aside from the swollen tonsils/white patches on tonsils. As a kid, I used to get strep throat BAD about 7-8 times a year. The worst part is that I'm allergic to penicillin and amoxicillin. Three years ago I got strep for 4 months straight! I went through about 6 different antibiotics. They did all kinds of tests for mono, etc, but the only thing that came out positive was the strep test! Luckily I've only had it once since then, but it put me out for 2 weeks.
Marcy....I LOVE that picture of your kitties. Too cute.
Carrie....go get checked....Pronto!!!!
I woke up with a sore throat AGAIN. I have been fighting this for over a month. It comes and goes. They tested me for strepp but that's not what it is. This is definately not fun.
Lisa, I'm knocking on wood for you also!!!!
Myste, wow...4 months of strepp is definately something I do not want. Thank God that's over for you.
A white tongue??? OMG! Hold on.......*looking at tongue in mirror* *WHEW* No white tongue. Deep red from the Hall's I am sucking on, though! lol It is only on one side, though. How weird is that? Nose is a little stuffy...other than that...nothing else is wrong.
