Like Being Hit by a Truck
The damn wet dry cycle of weather here has sent my sinuses over the edge. I woke up with a bad case of tonsilitis. The doctor said it looked like someone put a blowtorch to the back of my throat. So I’m drugged up and attempting to recuperate. It might take me a while to get back to email/IM, but i’m around.

I hope you feel better soon John.Remember warm salt water gargles and that tylenol comes in elixir form if pills hurt too much. If this is strep it's very impoirtant to complete the antibiotic prescripion. {most people don't} rest eat sherbet and avoid a tonsillectomy at all costs. sorry I sound like a mom and a nurse but as they say if the shoe fits...

I had tonsilitis so many times they finally yanked my tonsils out. Nowadays, I feel like that is the reason I get so many colds - wish I had 'em back. I hope you get better soon. No more mountain dew until you feel better! ;)

I will never complain of strep throat again. I have almost the same problem with my sinuses, except that I get migraines that make me nauseous. I used to get strep, when I was younger; now I get migraines.
Erythromycin or Amoxicillin all the way!

Well that'll learn ya never to go out to get fresh air again! What you really need, is a good dose of Southern California air. One temperature year round, and the air quality is always stagnant. Studies show that once again LA has the worst air quality in the nation. Damn I'm homesick.
