i've never had strep throat before.
i always thought it was a really bad cough/sore throat.
except it's way worse than that.
the back of my throat, my tonsils, the back of my tongue, and inside of my cheeks are covered in blisters.
my glands are swollen to the size of golf balls.
swallowing takes soo much effort and hurts like shit.
i can't talk clearly because i can't open my mouth very wide.
i keep getting fevers and stomach nausea.
and it's too physically painful to eat or drink anything other than water.
if any sugary or salty things touch the blisters it starts to sting and i salivate uncontrollably.
and i'm so fucking hungry. and i can't even eat. this is the most miserable i've felt since i can remember.
and this is the 1st year i don't have health insurance. it fucking figures. so now that i have to wait in some dirty ass hole in the wall clinic tomorrow, for god knows how many hours, probably catching 10 other illnesses from the sick people there, i'll have to pay for 10 days worth of medication to get rid of this shit. 10 fucking days. and it won't clear up on it's own. i HAVE to get antibiotics or it will turn into more serious problems.
oh. AND!
one of my wisdom teeth is starting to grow in, and beause of my illness, the tooth has now become infected from the bacteria. so it needs to be removed before it turns into gum disease.
vicodin and tonic water have been my only companions.
