    Strep Throat...

    ...sucks.

    I hate just lying on my couch all day, especially when it's OVER SIXTY DEGREES outside.

    Ugh.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Whack.

    Could be worse...you could just have nothing to do because everyone's going back already.

    Already? Damn...I'm leaving Friday, and that's as early as any of my friends are going.

    Thankfully the doctor changed my prescription and I'm feeling better. woohoo

    when you went to the doctor, did they do a throat culture? i had it when i was like 14, and they stuck this long q-tip looking thing into the back of your throat. the nurse and i thought it would be a good idea to make the stick flavored, so it wouldn't suck so bad. turns out, no matter what you do, strep sucks.

    hope you feel better.

    Yeah, strep is awful. I had it earlier this year and I think I might be getting it again... Oh yeah, get better!

    Strep is no fun, but you probably already knew that. Get well soon!

    Try gargle some salt and water and that may do the trick.

    I've had sore throats before then I get a cold after that. Never had strep throat.

    I would not agree with this, sore knees are worse as is a sore back, but strep is nothing to be taken lightly. It, by itself, is not terribly serious, just uncomfortable for a couple of days or so, but it can spread to other areas and become a difficult situation.
    Hope you have it under control and don't worry. It'll be above 60 again one of these days.
