Strep throat remedies?

[Facime]

I know how you feel. When I was kid I used to think that all the pain I felt at the dentist was just normal and thats the way it was...until I found out that Im particularly resistant to pain killers in certain families. I was switched to a different anesthetic and walla! I could stand the dentist again.

Most pain killers will NOT take all the pain away and arent really intended to. They are ment to make the pain tollerable within safe dosage levels. Generally, and I stress "generally", you can double a dosage of pain killer and be within safe levels.

Dont however, go mixing in a few beers or a shot of something. The properties of alcohol are not additive, they are muliplicative (I think thats a word, lol). ANYWAY, you should be feeling better very soon.

DT nailed it on the head.

Please wait until you're cured of this before you show up in Bama............:biglaugh:

Hope you get to feeling better soon. Don't go to overboard on the drugs or you'll be out sooner than later.

Well update you guys, yesterday (sunday afternoon) Everything still hurt and I went to take a small bit of tea, while on my third sip something ruptured in my throat, I was choking and I couldnt believe what was going on, I was scared as fuck. I violently coughed into my sink and a gigantic pile of blood and muscas came out and I got dizzy, I grabbed my friend mark and said HOSPITAL, NOW!

He rushes me there and by this time I figured if I breath through my nose, whatever is stuck back there or blown up, subsides, They take a look and tell me I needed a steroid shot asap. well 2 fucking hours later Im in the bed with an IV in my arm, I got a short steriod burst in the IV, a gigantic bag of fluids for my system, 2 antibiotics, a painkiller of ungodly power, and another shot in the ass, this one of a long term steroid.


As Im in and out of conciousness my friends are in and out of the room, waiting on the nurse to let me out. Well shes finally ready to do so, then gives me one more full syringe of that painkiller, I was high as a fucking kite in about 10 seconds.

Needless to say last night I was up until about 5am but as the night went on, everything started working. I can talk again, I can drink water with almost no pain, I can swallow with slight pain but do able, I still have ALOT of hyrdrocodone and a new RX for a steroid and another anitbiotic. I swear Ive never been through so much in my life and this is all with just friends here to help. God bless them, Ive spent so much time with those 2 this weekend we all got super close from all this. Everything for a reason right?


Thanks everyone for your on going support, it really means alot.

And Jay no worries, I wouldnt dare come near ur family risking this, I will be 110% recovered b4 I come out there, but trust me, I wnana buy you and vonda dinner out somewhere, I mean hell I wish everyone could come and I could do the same, I was petrified.

Glad you're smart enough to get to the hospital right away this time Nix!!
(I was going to joke that maybe you should find a corner on a better street so you don't pickup the throat clap again but it's probably too soon eh )

OMG Jon! Glad you made it through all that mess! What awesome friends! I can only hope my friends will be there for me like they were for you if stuff like this happens...


Side-note: My tonsils were removed. I almost died because something burst and I almost suffocated on my own blood...

As far as getting them removed...

I had mine removed (along with my adenoids) when I was eleven years old. Worst week of my life, spitting up blood the night after, my mother told me they should have kept me overnight..... I didn't eat or shit for a week. Ice cream, yeah you won't want to eat anything or talk at all or swallow anything. Get a note pad and pen handy for after the surgery.

They told me before the surgery, "the older you get, the more it hurts when you get them removed"

Good luck.
