Anyone else?

Anyone been sick with a sore throat? Really bad sore throat? fever? Achy body and just not feeling well? Is it strep? Or basically just allergies?

Seen lots of strep at work the past couple of weeks, get it checked just in case so you can get on an antibiotic, you may think it goes away, but it will come back without an antibiotic. Some kids have been getting so sick with it, throwing up and all kinds of stuff. Also, get a lyme test, I've seen so many cases of that, it's unreal.

Thanks for the info and advice yea i am taking an antibiotic from when i had phyarangitis (SP) months ago. It seems to be getting a lil better now. So i guess i will wait and see how the next few days are. I have been tracking my temp and all too.....So i guess if i don't feel 100% by Monday i am going to go to the doctor.

Oh no, swine flu.

Don't discount swine flu....got sick with your same symptoms the beginning of the month. Went to the DR and he did swine test (swab up the nose), came back high positivie for influenza A, which is what swine flu is (and the only flu going around now). It is no longer being sub-typed unless your are admitted to the hospital. No worse than the regular flu - bad for 24 hours. Doc says overblown for this period, the concern is for the fall season when it combines with the human flu.

I don't know how old you are but, if you continue to feel run-down w/fever or have severely swollen glands, get tested for Mono. I know someone who has it and the symptoms are similar and last for a long time. Fluids and rest are about the only treatment though. I hope you feel better soon!
