    Default Ugh I think I have strep

    So after this weekend I think I got strep. I had my fever and everything else is ok. I just dont want to eat as much and can really only eat liquids. It hurts but isnt unbearable.

    I got an appointment at a free clinic (no health insurance) on Friday. Im missing ANOTHER day of work. As little as it might be, because its been so shitty, I need it. I hate dipping into my savings. Lets say that since I came back from my trip Ive been making <400 take home per week. What happens if strep doesnt get treated? Is there any homeopathic remedies that work that I can try? Im working tonight because its at the better club and I need to be somewhat understandable when I speak to customers.

    Here's what I would do...

    Go to Whole Foods and ask about the highest grade colloidal silver they have. You should get it in a pure, undiluted form. Also get some echinacea liquigels.

    With the silver pour a two to one ration (2 parts water, 1 part silver) in to a small spray bottle. Spray and inhale this mixture regularly. Also pour quite a biti in to a water bottle and drink it throughout the day. Colloidal silver is a megabiotic. It kills everything from Candida to herpes.

    If you start taking the echinacea liquigels, three every hour, in conjuction with this... you should be good to go by tomorrow. Keep the dosage of echinacea up for a couple days... you want to turbo boost your immune system. After the first couple days... keep adding silver to your water (you can't OD on it) and take three echinacea pills a day for about ten days...

    Untreated strep can cause rheumatic heart disease and glomerulonephritis (kidney disease). Take advantage of all the homeopathic suggestions the ladies on this board can provide and please keep that appointment.

    Thank you ladies. I called an urgent care place and they said my bill would be btwn 200-300 dollars..Um yea I'll wait until Friday for my appointment. Until then I'll try the suggestions posted.

    Does the colloidal silver cause yeast infections? Dont really need one of those about now.

    No, strep can be deadly. You need to be checked and have a round of antibiotics.

    After the first 24 hours you will start feeling great!!!

    Take the antibiotics! they suck but they work. Welcome to the strep club! I'm just over mine. Feel better and drink lots of tea, honey and lemon!

    Colloidal Silver will NOT cause a yeast infection. In fact, it will get rid of one if used properly and for that purpose.

    Strep usually causes white dots on the back of your throat. That's how I always know for sure if I have it. My mom has tons of amoxicillan laying around so I just start taking that. I feel better almost immediately after antibiotics.

    I too hate going to the doctor, but will go if my condition doesn't improve.

    I thought I would be ok today but the clinic took forever to see me then when I got to the pharmacy (on the other side of town) they said the Rx wont be ready till Monday. The nurse practitioner tried to tell me I didnt have strep. Alot of other people got strep at the party and the people I was making out with got strep from other people. Why would it hurt and be swollen like this since Monday?

    I want regular food. Theres a whole foods near me so Im gonna pick up me some of that stuff now. Sorry ranting...damn free clinic taking almost 2 hours after my appointment time to see me for like 5 min. WTF people?!

    I hope you take full rounds. The dangerous thing about antibiotics is that people only take them until they feel better, which causes the bacteria to develop resistance.

    Yep of course! My parents have a full medicine cabinet and an awesome doc. He gave them a script for amoxicillan in case they needed them and if they did need em, to just call for instructions beforehand! He's very generous with samples too, and just an all around cool funny guy.

    So if anyone needs an awesome doc in Phx, pm me.
