Ok, I'm probably just having a whinge, but I'm well & truly fed up now!
About 5 weeks ago I began with a really painful sore throat. So sore, I could hardly talk, didn't want to get out of bed, let alone do the school run. I was given penicillin by my GP. I also came down with thrush that week.
The soreness subsided a little after a week. Then returned with a vengeance after a few days. I still have a sore throat, 5 weeks on, although not as painful first time round, its still quite uncomfortable to swallow. A swab was taken but showed up nothing.
Now for the last 5 days I've had crippling cystitis. I swear I've never had it so bad. I'm on some antibiotics for it, which I will finish today. I've got some sachets too, should I start talking them as well?
I feel utterly rubbish. If its not this its that. I'm taking either paracetamol or ibuprofen almost daily to deal with then pain & have been for a while. I'm supposed to be painkiller free as I suffer from chronic headache/migraines as well so from advice from the GP at the hospital he wants me to reduce the intake of painkillers, which I could do, but the cystitis & sore throat is really hurting.
I've been gargling with aspirin to help with my throat. I usually spit it out afterwards.
My head is all over the place, I've a new job to start next week, I just want to feel better & all I've done is yell at the kids all week! Argh!
