Seriously?

Who gets strep in the middle of June? I feel like I'm dying and I can barely eat. Obviously I'm not actually dying. My throat is so swollen and sore that I can barely swallow liquids, let alone any kind of significant food. Anything remotely warm makes my throat burn. It's been ice cream and yogurt for every meal for a few days now. I just want some real food!

I'm sorry. Rant over. Anyone else sick? I am kind of feeling like it's just me over here.

Re: Seriously?

  • I'm not sick but I was sick last pregnancy and a simple cold lasted literally 3 weeks while the idiot that got me sick was sick for 3 days. I was so miserable so I can only imagine how miserable strep would be. Sorry for you! Hope you feel better soon!

  • Get some Italian shaved ice. It cools your throat down tremendously!
  • I had some kind of cold virus that started in the middle of May and I'm still coughing occasionally. My throat hurt so bad for three or four days that I thought it was strep but it wasn't. Apparently it was just a bad cold and everybody i know that had it was complaining about how bad it was.... but they weren't pregnant! Lol
  • Poor thing! I just got over strep! It's horrible. Take it easy and eat lots of ice.

  • Something is definitely going around where I live right now.  One of my students had strep last week, which was awful for her because it was during final exams.  :(  My son has had a cough and sore throat since the end of last week.  Probably going to call the doctor today since he doesn't seem to be improving.  :(  Being sick while pregnant is the worst.  Hope you feel better soon!  :)

  • Three years ago I got step and a double ear infection in August. Right as we were supposed to go to the beach. I was miserable but ice pops did help some! Good luck and hope you feel better soon
  • I'm on my 4th head cold this pregnancy.  I figure at this rate I am due to have at least one more before I deliver.

    My foster kid brought strep home last summer - I had a newborn at the time. I freaked out! Got on an antibiotic, that was a miserable summer. Thankfully baby didn't get sick. Hope yours clears up FAST!!!
  • I used to get strep a lot as a kid so I had my tonsils removed. Try eating snow cones those may help your throat better, also I thought dairy was bad for strep?
  • First time I got strep was in June!  ugh good luck :)

  • Sounds like a great excuse to eat all the sherbet ;) Hope you get better quick!
  • Sorry you're sick :-( I would totally be hitting up the Popsicles but try to avoid any dairy. It will increase your mucus production and can cause more discomfort from sinus drainage into your throat :-(
