last year i had mono and pneumonia at the same time., i was out for 3 months....it sucked a lot..
this year i had strep tonsolitus, and a viral infection at the same time, i couldn't talk to anyone or eat anything for a week. Was on IV in the hospital the whole time......fun times.
I hope you don't have that shit or any combo stuffff...its not fun, but you get back to life eventually and you are good to go.

bumping this shit to share my experience from last night!
i had to go to the ER last night and i got an IV in my right wrist, then it wasnt working because my veins were too small because i hadnt eaten or drank anything in two days but they shot me up with three shots of saline, which started to kill after the second shot, then they tried to take blood but nothing would come out so that killed so they decided to take blood out of my upper arm and surprise, nothing would come out! so they finally got blood from my LEFT arm and put an IV in my left hand, and pumped me with two more shots of saline, that shit is ridiculous. so after taking four BOTTLES, i kid not you, like fucking jones soda size bottles, out of my left arm, they took four more bottles from my right hand. those four bottles added onto the four viles of blood they took earlier. what the FUCK. so i finally thought i was done, but they came in and wanted a strep test, so they stabbed me in the throat while im trying not to gag.
but no, not done yet. they had to get a FLU TEST. whos ever heard of a flu swab? i havent. basically they shove this HUGE swab up your nose and it makes your eye water and you feel like you have a bloody nose/have you sneeze for hours after.
then they had to do menegistis tests because they thought i had it, thankfully i dont have the bacterial kind, but i might have the viral kind. great. not sure if i have mono/menengitis/or strep yet. i find out today. coool.
and all the while this was happening, there was a senial 93 year old woman, trashed, next door who had a broken knee who was screaming. they had to call the cops to restrain her and sedate her. an hour later she woke up screaming again saying she was going outside to smoke a cigg and how she was going to 'kick the cop in the penis.' that part was hilarious.
some antics from the lady next door include..
her: IM GOING OUTSIDE TO SMOKE A CIGG!
nurse: oh yah? how are you going to get out there? walk?
her: DONT TOUCH MY FEET, DONT TOUCH MY SOCKS
nurse: why?
her: MY SAVINGS ARE IN THERE, IVE GOT RIGHTS YA KNOW
her: IVE ONLY HAD TWO DRINKS!
nurse: try about 53 drinks..
her: hahahahaha
(when the cops came to tie her down and sedate her)
her: YOU CANT TIE ME DOWN, THEY ONLY TIE DOWN RETARDED PEOPLE, AND IM NOT RETARDED
her: YOU LITTLE SHIT IF YOU TIE ME DOWN ILL KICK YOU IN THE PENIS (to the cops)
and my nurse was telling me a story about last week they got these two women, about a half hour after eachother, and one was convinced she was god and the other was convinced she was the devil. not thinking, they put them in rooms next to eachother. once 'god' found out that the 'devil' was in the room next to her, she wasnted to go and speak to her. and vice versa. bahahaha. aw i wish i was there for that.

i dont have strep but im sick as hell right now, i have pharyngitis, its an upper respiratory infection of the tonsils and throat, similar to strep, im on antibiotics, feeling better but still i've been in bed pretty much since thursday, im kind of glad im sick now tho, i always get sick once every winter so hopefully my immune system will be ready to beat some ass once ski season starts.

i'm ready to kill myself. since friday i've been on the amoxicillin but it's done nothing but get worse. my tonils are huge adn white and it kills every single time i swallow. i haven't gotten any sleep the past two nights either. tomorrow i should hear results from the doctor since they were closed all weekend. this fucking sucks.

amoxicillin is whack. get the "z-pack" and you will be over that shit in like a day. i had strep last year and they gave me the z-pack because i'm allergic to amox and i was seriously feeling better the next day.

back in elementary school I'd get strep throat pretty much every other week. I got it so much that a bunch of the antibiotics just stopped working and they had to give me new ones. I guess it all worked out though and it helped my immune system because I haven't been sick (like more than a cold) in like 5 years.
