...but when I do, it kicks my butt! I'm currently spitting in a bucket because my throat is extremely swollen, swallowing really hurts, no matter whether its meat, ramen, or apple juice. I looked in a mirror and I have a brain growing on my tonsils. It's BAD! Make matters worse, I went to the health center on Friday morning. They diagnosed me with an ear infection. Persribed me antibiotics and called them into the wrong pharmacy, so I spent two days tracking down which CVS they called it into, and picked 'em up today. But that's after I diagnosed my own problem... 99% sure it's tonsilitis. I have a brain growing on my tonsils, swelling, and at least a dozen other symptoms. I'm back to the health center tomorrow for another examination, insist that they swab to check for tonsilitis and see where it goes from there. But until then, my diet consists of ramen and beans, milk and apple juice, and a Rockstar energy drink every day.
I've started a collection of Rockstar Energy drinks. It's good! Anyway, i'm the same way. Not as bad, but my gland (my right one) is HUGE. I don't feel sick, but man I can tell it'll hit me. Maybe it's the rock star? -Mark
Rockstar? Nah. I love that stuff. One a day since the beginning of Summer, if anything, it's the fact that I'm in college now and can't afford the $2.00 a can a day.
$2.00 a can. Unless I buy the 4 packs, then it's 1.75 a can. I used to drink one a day when I woke up at 6:30 for work at 7. Now that I don't wake up til 8:30 for classes, I don't need 'em every day.
Yeah, I completely cut soda out of my diet except for a half glass at meals to help the food down. I've been losing weight and sleeping better ever since. Rockstar is the closest thing I get to it.
I just looked on wikipedia about tonsilitis... they have a picture of it. That's really nasty looking. Is that what yours look like?
Mole, not that bad. More like this: http://www.melayuboleh.org/images/tonsillitis.jpg WARNING, NOT FOR THE QUEEZY OR THE SHY OF MOUTH INNARDS.
Yikes, that's still pretty nasty. Do you get tonsilitis often? If so, maybe they'll get 'em out of there and you won't ever get it again. Though I hear they don't actually give you ice cream afterwards.
Never had it before. Still not 100% I have it now. Going to get swabbed/tested tomorrow morning, even if I have to threaten to cough on them.
Man I hate getting swabbed. I don't know which is worse between mouth and nose. Nose burns but mouth makes you gag reeeally big and is just plain uncomfortable.
Ever been awake when they shove a tube up your nose to get to your stomach? Swabbing will be a breeze.
Holy crap. Why did they do that? (Wow, I just had to be told to wait 3 seconds to post again. Never had that happen to me before.)
Well, in my last bout of being misdiagnosed multiple times, I finally self diagnosed myself with an esophogeal disorder called achalasia, a rare disorder, especially at my age. They needed to test the pressure at points in my esophagus to check it, and boy was I awake for that. BTW, the post timer catches me all the time, I'm a quick typer.
Heh, it'll probably have happened to me more often by the time I have over 10,000 posts. But that'll be tough. I refuse to post anywhere except Off Topic. Only other place I've posted is Misc because the thread I posted in was in off topic but got moved but I didn't know so I responded and then I realized it was in Misc and I became sad and considered deleted the post but then didn't.
