Day 3 and I'm fucked! I have never experienced a sore throat like this. It's agony.
Dr prescribed naproxen and co-codimol. Can't take the naproxen yet as it's bid and I have already taken ibruprofen.
Not slept at all for 48 hours as my throat is too painful. Had to write a note for the Dr as I couldn't talk to explain symptoms.
He said there is a particular nasty virus that is poleaxing people for up to two weeks . I can't afford to take that time off work.
What I'm really after is self help for my throat - it is AGONY and I am besides myself. If I cough it feels like layers of skin being ripped from my throat. Strangely I don't think my tonsils are affected as it's more central roof of mouth.
The most impressive nasal drop you've ever seen.
He didn't say the f word though - just rest and fluids. Pain relief etc.
Anyone want to join my pity party?
