    Sad OMG, I am so sick!!

    I feel okay for the most part but I have no voice and my throat is fucking KILLING me. I have no idea how I'm supposed to make enough money to go to the doctor when I can't work. Even the tea with honey and lemon isn't working anymore. It's probably strep throat or something else equally expensive. DAMMIT! I'm tired of getting kicked in the teeth with medical expenses!!

    I am sorry to hear you are feeling like [email protected]#$. I hope you do get to feeling better soon. The only other advice I can give is to gargle with warm salt and water.

    do you feel physically fine otherwise? Cause if you do, then go to work but use a pen-and-paper approach and tell guys you are deaf or something. it might work a couple girls have done it in my club...and still made some money, not the best but better than nothing.

    Gargling with salt water is not pleasant, but quite effective.

    Hot Toddys are effective, but considerably more pleasant.

    As your doctor, I prescribe both treatments in succession, giving the salt water nasty treatment a good half hour or more to work its magic before you console yourself with the fun part.

    Sleep is vital to recovery, as well--plenty of it...

    Fuck doctors, they never did me much good, except charging me a bunch of money to tell me what I already knew.

    Except that one guy did kinda put my knee back together, lol. But that was different.

    I don't really want alcohol, as last night I had a Passover seder and consumed a little more than the required Four Cups of wine (and it was sangria, at that). But if it'll make me feel better... maybe a brandy and Theraflu cocktail?

    I've just been sleeping all damn day. I want to exercise and work, dammit! I need money and I need to get in shape. I do not need to be lying around miserable, croaking like a frog.

    This has happened to me before. I had lost my voice completly for 2 weeks, and my tonsils where swelled up like golf balls with puss. If you have puss on your tonsils definetly go to the doctor because you need antibiotics. If you have an infection it can be very dangerous cause it can spread throughout your body and affect your heart. Other at home remedies wont do. When i went to the doctor my condition was so bad that he gave me antibiotics, lidocaine, and percocet. I don't want to scare you but I recommend you check it out asap because your health always comes first.
    Hope you start feeling better soon

    If you are not allergic and if you have strep throat, penicillin is dirt cheap and still the recommended treatment.

    Usnea is a natural antibiotic that's especially good for strep throat, and I think it grows in your area. Alternately, pick up some olive leaf extract, which is an antibiotic with a broader scope.

    (I don't think we need doctors if we know how to take care of ourselves, except in cases of traumatic injury).

    Yek, so sorry to hear your feeling ill. Make sure you get your rest and follow the salt water advice, it'll draw out all the yukky stuff in your throat as well as provide some anesthetic relief.

    If you do suspect strep, I wouldn't fool around though. It really can lead to heart problems left untreated.

    I'm in bed with a twisted knee today myself...thank God for laptops or I'd be bored silly.

    Feel better honey.

    I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. Get yourself checked out. I recently thought I had strep and went to see my ENT and he told me I had a canker sore in my throat. It was sooo painful and made me feel misrable because of the pus dripping down my throat. He put me on Valerax for 10 days.

    It's springtime - do you think you've developed allergies? They can show up as you get older, and a sore throat can be a symptom.
    Someone gave me a good remedy for this. I know you've tried honey, but is it locally grown? If you can get locally grown honey (maybe a farmer's market), it can help to 'immunize' you against the pollen causing the allergy.
    So, maybe locally grown honey in a strong hot toddy is the thing!

    It's not allergies and I've been doing the local honey thing for a long time. I don't know if it's strep throat either, as I don't have a fever. I'm just going to keep guzzling water and occasional Theraflu, and hope it goes away in a day or two. I still have no voice.

    That is so weird. I wonder if it's going around LA clubs. I have a had a cough off and on for two weeks and when I got off work last Saturday, it turned into a full blown, lung hurting cough w/ sinus runs. In the mornings I have no voice. Another girl at my work that night said she has had a weird cough as well.

    Two weeks ago I saw my Doc and he said it was just a minor chemical irritation and prescribed an inhaler. I hate that stuff because it raises my pulse rate and makes me feel jittery. I just called to see if I could get another appt.

    I know how you feel about medical bills....and I have insurance. I just got through paying two bills I have owed since last year.

    Hope you feel better.

    If you still have no voice thats not a good sign. If it bothers you for over a week, you need antibiotics. Get them asap because you can get better sooner and not loose any more time off of work. When your problem is as serious that you don't have a voice, gargeling salt water or taking honey wont do. I had done that mistake too and it only kept me suffering for a week longer.

    I don't think I need antibiotics because I don't have a fever. Bacterial infections produce a fever. I'm just hoarse. This is either viral or it's some kind of irritation... at any rate, it's making me irritated!

    Just because you don't have a fever it doesn't mean you don't have an infection. I never had a fever but i still had an infection.

    Yeah, it's always strange seeing a stripper in LA with medical insurance. You have to ask what they are doing to survive - LOL

    My suggestion is LOTS of sleep, hot tea and water.
    I had a really bad cough for over a week (I'm just starting to feel normal again) and the only thing that helped me was to quit smoking! All the sleep and fluids in the world only helped somewhat.
    Must be something that's going around...several girls in my club were out for a while too. We had a max of 8 girls on Tuesday and Wednesday this week! I still went even though I was sick, though. I coughed my brains out every time I got off stage, so I would stay in the dressing room for longer periods until I got my breath back, then I would go out and hustle a few guys at a time, then go back into the dressing room and cough. It was kind of a pain in the ass, but I still made some money. More than I would staying home...

    Alexxa, I'm glad you quit smoking, anyway! Sorry it took that to make it happen, but I guess whatever works. I hear it takes awhile for the smoker's cough to really go away, but it will eventually.

    I'm feeling perfectly fine now; I just haven't got my voice back yet.

    I'm at the Classy Lady in the valley. I've had medical insurance for a while. When I was in San Francisco, it was cheaper and Kaiser had really great facilities up there.

    Now that I'm down here, I'm married. I'm on his insurance plan.
