    Default Sickly sick :(

    I am very sick. Usually I get sick about once a year or so, a fever, sore throat, etc.

    I feel like a hypochondriac right now because I am trying to figure out what it is. I have a doctor's appt tommorow and I keep thinking it could be something worse. I had a fever this morning (now it's normal), had difficulty sleeping, a raw throat (hurts to swallow my own spit), feel lightheaded, slight nasal drainage now, and have bouts of nasuea (but I haven't vomitted).

    I started on birth control for the first time about a week ago but I am so nervous and my mind if racing as to what it is, is it the early symptoms of HIV (I did some sexual things with a new guy this weekend, didn't have sex, but did do sexual things) or just the common flu/cold type deal or does the BC have something do do with it? Maybe strep? I really need to stop having sex and being a hypochondriac.

    I KNOW! I always feel stupid as hell for thinking "OMG IT'S WORSE THAN JUST BEING SICK!"

    I seriously wonder if I am a hypochondriac. Even friggin' colds get me thinking.


    If it is strep, I am going to think about getting my tonsils removed. I have had strep a couple times in the past 1 1/2 years, and a couple times a kid. Last time I got it, I kept putting it off as just a sore throat until it got so bad, I couldn't swallow. Didn't get sick, or feverish, just a hellaciously horrid sore throat...I even told the doctor "I don't think it's strep, I've had strep before and I feel fine other than this horrible sore throat." Yup, it was strep. Eck. I just wonder who I caught it from...Can't think of anyone who has had it around me.

    Aw, thank you.
    I swear, for awhile my doctor was probably like "I know I get paid to see her, but DAMN I am sick of you" lol

    I took a good look at my throat, the whole end of the spoon to press my tongue down and a flashlight >.<, and it looks like strep, big, discusting, white spots on the back of my throat. Nice >.< eck.

    And you know antibiotics will make you feel better 24 hours after starting the first pill! And you will survive this.

    See how damn smart we hypocondraics are

    So went to the doctor and the strep swab came back negative but apparently it only tests for Strep type A.

    I started Z-pac on Wednesday night and, wow, it made me feel a little better in about 6 hours. Now, sore throat is gone! Woot.
    Still feel grungy, but at least I feel better.

    Glad you're feeling better.

    I used to get hypochondriatic after sex with new guys too. Back in the day. haha! It goes away. It also helped when I started using condoms. Oh, but I'm not saying you aren't using 'em. I just wasn't back in the day.

    How funny. I always get the Z-Pac.

    The ole take 2 first the one until they are gone in like what 5 day course.
    That antibiotic does not mess with me. Many do. I always get it for Strep. due to my heart condition, i guess it's one of the best for Strep.

    Glad you feel better!

    I used to not use condoms, but suprise, I eventually got kicked in the ass (nothing seriously, but emotionally draining). Looking back I realize how amazingly ignorant and stupid that was, I always use condoms now, but whenever I do not have actual sex sex (lol) with a guy I still get freaked (oral, etc.). Then I start to wonder "Omg, did the condom break at any point?" when I do have sex with someone new...Like I said, I think the worst. I seriously am one of those people who just needs to stop doing anything sexual just so I'm not a nutcase half the time. I want to find that one person who I can trust, but so far not so good.

    I know, Zpac is amazing! It's shorter than most antibiotic courses as well...love it.
