Two weeks ago today I started to get a sore throat while at church. I came home in the middle to get some Zicam so that it would not turn into a cold. For 3 days I kept taking Zicam, vitamin C, drinking orange juice and the sore throat would not go away, but the regular cold symptoms did not come either. Brandon kept telling me I had strep throat.
“No, I haven’t ever had it, I wouldn’t get it”
“No, I wouldn’t be able to run 6 miles this morning if I had it”
“No, I would have a fever”
“No, I would feel sick”
After 5 days of a terrible sore throat I was trying every cure I could come up with on the internet. Man this thing just kept hurting, and I kept eating more and more to try to get rid of the hurt. Day 9 I made a Dr. appointment because I couldn’t take it anymore, then canceled it because I started to feel better and I didn’t want to pay for the Dr. to tell me it was a virus. Day 14, yesterday, went on a 3.5 mile run and 12 mile bike ride, came home convinced I had a sinus infection which was causing the sore throat. Super busy day, but I don’t care I am going to InstaCare no matter what! Swab my throat and come back 10 minutes later to tell me,
“You have strep throat”
Next time I will listen to Brandon. I hope I did not infect the whole world over the past two weeks.
Amazing, I woke up this morning for the first time in two weeks and could swallow without it hurting, of course now the cold symptoms have arrived so my throat doesn’t hurt, but I have a cold.
