spacefemI think I have INCURABLE strep throat! This is the worst!
Feb 6 - scratchy throat. tried a vitamin C lozenge
Feb 7 - stayed home sick to rest
Feb 8 - hurt into my ears, went to the doctor, got some amoxicillin
Feb 9 - cancelled our KC trip. I had almost no voice.
Feb 14 - you'd think after nearly a week of antibiotics I'd be better, right? But I wasn't, I woke up with my throat feeling like knives.
Feb 15 - doctor switched me from amoxicillin to cefdinir.
Feb 19 - tried teaching laser cutter class. talked softly but my throat was still KILLING ME at the end.
Feb 20 - I'm seeing an unrelated doctor for an eyelid stye I got back in september, so
Feb 21 - going back to my doctor. my throat hurts.
WTF. I've had strep before... okay years ago I had a bad round where it just kept coming back. But every time, I'd go on antibiotics and they'd knock it out in 48 hours. now I seem to be impervious to antibiotics.
I hate not being able to talk. I hate having a quiet voice. I hate my throat hurting. and I really hate being nervous that I'm just never going to be the same.
