I have been sick with the same symptoms for 3 times since December of 2012. These symptoms include; fever, nausea, runny/stuffy nose, sore throat, body aches, headaches, and stomach aches. Also excessive sweating... I also have very particular tonsils. Since I can remember I've had strep throat once to twice every year. I was even taken to the ER two years ago because my tonsils were so swollen I had trouble breathing. My tonsils were covered in white (puss) and were touching my uvula. I got X-rays & giant antibiotic horse pills, but I am still not qualified to get my tonsils removed.
Yesterday, after my 7:30am class I tried staying out my the same sickness I've had twice before kicked in & I went straight home. I couldn't walk to my bed because of the pain & nausea I was experiencing. At midnight I thought my fever broke and decided to schedule an appointment at the clinic. Assuming I had strep throat I didn't want to go to class in case I was contagious.
When I went to the clinic they took a strep test (which I had to be pushed up against a wall for- for those of you who haven't had this test, the nurse takes a swab and shoves it past your tongue & scrapes the sides of your throat, I was held back because of my gag reflex). They also took a mono test.
Both. Were. Fucking. Negative.
I started crying a little, I don't know why I keep getting sick and I want it to stop. I do not get sick, I am healthy!
So they took blood samples from me and a SECOND strep test (which i had to be held down again) but I should find out something tomorrow. For now I'm going to bed with a nice cool fever of 101 (which is better than the 103 this morning & who knows how high it was yesterday!) and pictures of my wonderful experience.
Except I don't have fucking Internet right now because AT&T has a giant rod up their asses and can't get shit done in buttfuck nowhere. So once I get Internet I will post pictures of my inflamed fucking tonsils. & once I figure out why the fuck my body can't fight off shit then I'm going to attack my projects in every single fucking class like its my god damn job. Fuck being sick, fuck me possibly dying, fuck scheduling two different fucking surgeries this god damn summer so I can fucking work or take classes & fuck this happening now when I was on a good fucking streak and I just got shit on.
Those white things are on top of my tonsils. My tonsils shouldn't be able to be seen, but you can clearly see them and see how red they are compared to everything else.
It feels like there is an outline of an orb stuck underneath where my nasal passages connect to my throat and the sides and back of my throat.
It is so uncomfortable that I can't hold my head up very long because my lymph nodes are so swollen it hurts.
