wasting disease strikes again

Sep 28, 2010 09:12

I think I'm developing tonsilitis again.

What joy is mine.

This time it's on the opposite side of my throat, but the pain is identical, and I've got terrible body aches and had a very very mild fever last night. (The body aches and the throat are the worst. I just lay in bed last night positively aching all over and desperately hoping I wouldn't need to swallow. And I'm still in the very early stages.)

I had never had tonsilitis in my life before the bout I had a couple of weeks ago. Now I have it again? Twice in a month? I call shenanigans.

Seriously, if I have to have my tonsils out, I will be *quite* annoyed. I've already had oral surgery this year! I don't want to have it again! And I don't like popsicles that much!

I'm dreading today. I mean, class will be fine and all, but tonight's my 2.5-hour evening class, and it's really hard to get through it when I'm not feeling well. And I've been not feeling well the majority of the weeks we've had this class. ::sigh:: Thus far, this semester has been completely absurd. I'm just waiting for my 8-months-pregnant student to go into labor or break her water in class. That will be about par for the course this fall.

Today I see my psychiatrist and will consult about the possibility of medication for the ADD. She's quite conservative on that front, so it's likely that she'll decide against meds, especially given my anxiety problems. But we'll see how it goes. (I do wish I didn't have the appt. today, though. B/c if I didn't, I could go home after my first class and rest before my second. But the appointment's at 3, and it seems silly to go all the way home for just 2 hours. We'll see how I feel though. I might have to.)
