I got THE STREP INFECTION

Around 3 am Monday, I felt my throat hurting on the left side. I was a little worried, since Mater had Strep Throat a week before and I've been watching him for a few weeks. I then woke up Monday morning and felt a big truck of yuckys dumped into my body. My left side of my throat hurt, my lymphs were swollen, I was running a fever and had a horrible headache. Egh, I felt awful! It didn't feel like allergies or a little virus. I felt different because a week before that, I had massive Allergies and it felt nothing like that. I decided I'd wait it off. I don't go to the Doctor unless I absolutely HAVE TO. Well, come Monday evening, I was a mess. Both sides of my throat suddenly hurt like heck, my body was aching, I was shivering, having chills, a headache, nausea and very lethargic. I knew I was coming down with a Strep infection. I had it twice when I was little and I felt just like I did when I was little...except I didn't have my mom and dad to take care of me. I didn't get one ounce a quality rest last night. On top of Motrin, Tylenol and ALka seltzer, I was running a high fever all night, that led me to having insane dreams. Any small movement put my body in immense pain. I was up all night vomiting and dry heaving~ since I had nothing else to puke up. I had a hard time keeping any pain relievers down. I even started feeling a tinge of blood in my throat. I was shivering terribly and my body hurt so bad. Now my throat was so swollen and hurt so bad, I could barely talk or swallow. When I was awake, I was hearing and seeing things due to my fever. I keep on hearing people knocking on walls ans yelling. Then I'd see green and orange shadows running around. It was bazaar. High fevers will make you temporarily insane! I am not kidding you, I felt so horrible, I wanted to die! I'm serious! I'd mumble out every few hours, " I need to go to Doctors... I need to go.." But nothing was happening. I rolled out of bed @ 1:30. I took my Tylenol and Motrin concoction. It took the edge of my pain and broke my fever. I lied around, miserable, not able to eat and irritable. I could barely talk. Finally, by 3:30, I told David I couldn't deal anymore and made him take me to the ER.
Well, it's a good thing I went! I had such a severe case of Strep Throat! My tonsils were covered in white puss and My throat was almost swollen shut. They pulled out the big guns on me too. I had to get a THICK and MASSIVE shot of Penicillin in my butt. It was PAINFULLL!! OUCH! I asked if I could just take it in pill form and they said I couldn't. I needed something more aggressive and immediate. Then I had an oral steroid I needed to take for my throat to reduce the swelling. I was told it was pretty darn severe and it was a good thing I came in or my throat would've closed up! Seriously, I felt like death. I knew it wasn't the Flu or Allergies.

I just couldn't believe how FAST this bacteria worked on me. In one day, I was covered in white puss and swollen.
Hopefully this will be my last case of STREP THROAT because it has been absolutely WRETCHED!
