Not feeling so well today...

Last night after going to bed, I started to get a twinge of a sore throat. I had fierce chills as well. Got up about 30 minutes later and took my temp, it was 101.7. And my throat hurt worse just in that short time. Took some tylenol, and felt quite a bit better once it kicked in. Finally lost the chills and was able to sleep.

this morning I woke up and my throat was hurting quite a bit more. Glands very swollen. Feels like strep and is progressing in pain like strep does with me. (My granddaughter was recently treated for strep). BUT the oddest thing is: I am on an antibiotic. Have been for 4 days now. Would have thought that would have prevented this. Must be that if this is strep (which it reallyyyyyyy feels like) the antibiotic I am on is not effective for it.   Have a feeling I will be at the emergency room  later today, if this continues.. Bummer!

Hope you all are having a much better day!

Hope you feel well soon. Do not wait til later you should go in now. Then you can start to feel better sooner. Besides we all need you tomorrow lol. Big hugs get well soon chicken soup home made the best and plenty of sleep and rest.

Thanks! I am just feeling too lazy to go in right now.. think i need to get a short nap first.... Sure don't need this on top of trying to heal up from PS.. ahhhhhhhh life can be a challenge at times..BUT I am an ornery one, so i am certain I'll pull through!

Send me that soup via telepathy.. no one here to make it for me. My husband would try, but not sure he could pull it off.. lol.
Hugs back at ya!

awww dang it I should whip up a batch freeze it and mail it to you over night lol it is so simple but oh so good yes get some rest and please please go see your doctor or go in er. Do not worry about tomorrow if you are not feeling better I am sure Vick or Kath can do it. You need to take care of yourself

Oh Patrece, I'm so sorry you aren't feeling well.  Please don't let it get too out of control before you head for a doctor.

Not to alarm you but in certain cases, infections actually feed off of antbiotics.  I never would have known that if it hadn't happened to my mom.

I hope you are feeling better very soon.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well.  Strep is pretty contagious.  I hope you do go to the emergency room - don't need to get any complications with your surgery and all.  Kids are great for giving us stuff.  Of my five grandkids, one of them is always sick at Christmas time and we all come down with whatever they have.  Hope you feel better real soon.

I was going to call you ths afternoon to chatter, I will hold off for a bit and let your throat rest.  Drink lots of fluids, even a cup of unjury chicken would be in order.  I recall the last time I had strep, I did not want to talk, even whisper, felt like razor blades in my throat.  Take care my friend.  Saline gargle for easing symptoms.  And tell your grandkids to keep their germs to themselves, lol.

oh patrece, please be careful.  don't know if strep can go to the parts of your body that is trying to heal or not. don't take a chance.  i hope u get to feeling better real soon.  love ya, vick

Oh Trece I sure hope your not gettting strep throat!!! You sure do not need that with revocering from you PS!!! I hope you are feeling better in no time at all...

Hugs

Thank you everyone for your caring and well wishes..
I went back to bed this morning and slept from 9:30 am until my hubby woke me at 2:30 to check my fever and get me to drink some water.  He said i felt feverish, so I took my temperature, and it was 102.7.  My throat was hurting way worse. Took a look in the mirror, sure enough.. lots of blisters. To the ER I went once I got ready. Told me to D/C the augementin I was on and gave me a different one after consulting with an earn nose and throat specialist. They also gave me a liquid pain med, for fast relief, but am going to try to stick with the tylenol if I can.

The ER doc said the strep should not go to my PS sites. They ran other blood work to make sure nothing else was going on.
Not sure about chat tomorrow night all.. If I am not there, you know why. Feeling VERY miserable right now for sure!
Thanks again all for your caring and kindness! Hope all is well with all of you!.
Now, off for some chicken soup and then bed.
Hugs...
