Strep Throat Journal

I came home Wednesday 3/12/14 went straight to bed around 6:30 pm. Didn't get up until midnight for a short time then went back to bed. Woke up Thursday 3/13/14 in the evening, went to sleep until Friday 3/14/14 morning. Really fatigue, exhausted and jetlagged. Friday my throat was still hurting and got worse by Saturday. Couldn't sleep because of the pain and had my best friend take to me to the ER on Sunday. The only test they took was a pregnancy test which came back negative. Because of my irregularities the Dr. recommended me to a OBGYN. Dr took a look at my throat and with all my symptoms didn't feel a test was needed to determine I had strep throat. I was then given a shot which hurt like hell! It was so thick and was put in my left hip. 

Dr then gave me some pain meds and prescribed me some to take home. That night was so hard for me to sleep. Ended up getting a few hours and Monday the next morning I woke up to no voice at all. My symptoms were worse. My cough was worse, I was more fatigue to the point where my heart was beating fast and I was too weak to even get up. When I swallow it hurt even more. I prayed so hard because I was scared of how sick I had become over night. I slept all day and now it's Monday night. Gonna have to netflix it until I fall asleep and see how things turn out Tuesday! 

Tuesday past and it's now Wednesday. I got my appetite back and I ate some soup and oatmeal. Little bit of biscuits and gravy, eggs and hashbrown. My throat isn't as irritated to take solid foods but I was able to. Felt good to smell food and taste it. Today my husband took me to get some Indian food. Made sense because most of their food is curry like anyway. Only thing I don't like is how spicy it can be even if you ask for mild. I hate spicy food. It just doesn't sit well in my tummy. Hot cheetos is different though. lol But even that I don't eat much of. I still don't have a voice but I've found little bits and pieces trying to come out every now and then. I sound like a seal it's horrible. I'm still fatigue and I've been bed ridden for a week now. It sucks because I want to get up do things with my family but it hurts my body. Have little or no energy and just walking around makes me tired. Well, I'm praying for better days. Tomorrows another day and I hope things get better.
