I feel like my throat is closing off. I wish they'd just rip em' out! But noooooo...they have to give me medicine that doesn't work. I feel like I'll never get better. I hate being sick.
Last July I had a scratchy throat, then a couple days later I couldn't talk, then a couple days after that I was in so much pain I seriously wanted to die. I went to a doctor, who also prescribed stuff that didn't work- just amoxicillin. I couldn't sleep because my throat was so swollen and it hurt like a mofo (so I stayed up all night watching Three's Company marathons), I couldn't eat or drink anything, and I could hardly breathe. After about four days of murderously unbearable pain my mom took me to the emergency room because my temp had gone up to 103.2 (before that it was at about 99F). I was practically on my death bead so they hooked me up to an IV and gave me tons of morphine and fluids because I was so dehydrated. After a day or so they sent me on my merrry way, with a Vicoden prescription and steroids. It turns out the other doctor was wrong, I didn't have strep I actually had mono. And because of that my spleen or pancreas, I can't remember which, was supah-swollen and it could've been problematic

Yeah, they tested me for mono the first time (they also tested me for strep) but both came up negative. But the thing with the mono spot is that it actually is only 75% accurate. The next time I went to the doctor (yesterday) he thought that it may be a sign of mono. But he checked my spleen and it wasn't swollen. So he just gave me drugs for tonsilitis. I'm praying so hard that I don't have mono. haha. Hopefully by the end of this week my drugs will kick in :S
