Just flew back from my holiday, and boy are my arms tired. And my legs, my body, my head, my feet, and especially my neck ( Read more... )

Yeah...not having your ears pop and especially plane rides in general tend to make sore/constricted throats worse, I've noticed.

Anyway, glad you enjoyed at least part of your vacation, and I hope you feel better soon!

Wow South Africa, I adore the country. Very jealous!

And get well soon!

The Ibuprofen was indeed having a negative reaction. It was stopping my pain temporarily, but it was doing all sorts of bad things to my throat. By the time I went to see my doctor I was speaking through my nose and any water swallowed had to navigate a maze in my neck. It's official now - I'm allergic to aspirin.

Luckily the doctor gave my some more-powerful dissolving paracetemol and some drinkable penicillin (rather coolly called 'Penicillin Elixir'), and they seem to be doing the trick. I may even be eating food by tomorrow!
