Christine Van Winkle…

They did a rapid strep test at my doctor’s appointment on Monday, told me that I didn’t have strep, wrote me a prescription for a Z-Pack and scooted me out the door. It’s bothered me all week – if I don’t have strep, why do I have these funky lumps in my throat? What is going on? They tried to explain it away by saying it was probably just from drainage. Good idea, but I didn’t have any drainage. And even after 4 days on the Z-Pack, the lumps aren’t going away and my throat is still sore.
I found an Ear, Nose & Throat specialist in downtown, and I have an appointment for 3:15 today.
Last night I decided to lay on the couch to watch Will & Grace – I would get up and do all the holiday things still looming over me afterwards. That was at 8:30 – and I woke up at midnight. I stayed awake for about an hour as I watched last night’s episode of ER (the only episode I missed last season), and then I headed back to bed. I guess I was even more tired then I thought I was – and it was so nice to finally, after 4 weeks, have a nice quiet night at home. Yes, I’m a regular Rip Van Winkle…

I did the same thing last night. There was nothing new/interesting on the tube last night, so I just went to bed early even though I had a ton of things I needed to get done.
Sometimes you have to make doctors listen to you. You know what is going on in your own body.

You know, last night’s ep of Will and Grace wasn’t bad, but I did the same thing… woke up right before ER came on, in fact.

I did that on Wednesday night. I slept really well last night and feel 100% better! There is a 24 hour flu bug going around here…I wonder if that’s what you had? *HUGS* Have a good weekend!

Its important to relax! I’m glad you got a chance to, and that you’re going back to the doctor. Be well soon, Christine.

The exact thing happened to another friend of mine. After a couple years of tests and no results they finally figured out it was her tonsils. She had them removed and she’s all better.
