Oh crap, it's back . . .

I have a horrible history with Strep. My mom and I are both strep carriers and we tend to get really bad bouts of strep on a regular basis. Not only are they wicked versions of strep, but they don't seem to go away the first time with meds. They kinda go away and you get back to normal life then BOOM it comes back with a vengence. You can read bout my struggles with strep here, here, here, here and even here.

Last night I began feeling all crappy and all the sudden my throat was hurting. By about 2:00 am I was in full blown wishing-for-death mode. I got into the doctor this afternoon and get some meds. A little Vicodin has allowed me to come downstairs and check my email.

Hope you're feeling fit as a fiddle really soon!

Have you ever tried Echinacea for your strep? It is a natural antibiotic that one can get in health food stores (or chain grocery stores now ~ it is so popular). It works amazingly well. If you are going to try it use the tincture (liquid/drops) rather than the pills.

Will be praying for your recovery.
