icky sicky me

My body devised a completely brilliant plan to stop the neck/shoulder from hurting so much - I got strep throat! I haven't had it in so long and completely forgot what a joy it is - NOT! Monday I had a sore throat, Tuesday stayed home and fever went up and throat got worse, Wednesday went to dr's and they did a rapid strep test. At least I'm on antibiotics now. Should have gone yesterday but I get sore throats a lot and most of the time they're just from acid reflux or post nasal drip. But today I knew I had something super special since my fever has gone up from 98.9 on Monday, then 100.4 last night and then 101.1 today. For most people this doesn't seem like a high fever, but my normal temp is about 97.8ish - so if I get anything above 98.6 I know I'm sick. And fever knock me out. I am praying these drugs kick in soon and I can hopefully get a night of sleep. This feeling cold and hot at the same time and my head pounding and my throat on fire is just not something I am enjoying. But it does make a change from the neck! That still hurts but I can't tell if it's not as bad b/c it's improving from the injections or I'm in so much pain elsewhere my brain can't register it all.
