Hi Carmie,
I am so glad you wrote me. I am trying to think "up" the pain in my throat and ear has decreased, thank you God, and I am hoping it keeps going away, I have driven myself to the brink of a breakdown worrying about throat cancer and tubes and cameras down my throat. After you had strep did you feel completely washed out, like no energy, aches and pains and wanting to sleep all the time? I have been sleeping 12 hours a day and I know its good for the body but I dont like it too little activity is not good either, even light housekeeping has me breathless and exhausted and I look very very bad and sick, I am praying as the days go by I feel better, my monthly I think is due, I have the symptoms of it and that always makes me tired but not to this degree, I have an appt with my nurse next week, I hope I can go and I hope she can help me, I dont see the therapist anymore so medically she is all I have left, she is good, a little coolish not too warm but she knows her meds.
I read after you quit smoking you cough MORE and my mom-in-law says the same thing, its the lungs clearing out I think, I hate too cough because it hurts my throat so bad. I am so glad you are running and doing well and having good times with your son and husband. You are an inspiration to me, as Sunny is and all the rest, I have not heard from Davit for awhile I hope he is well. Did you ever feel Carmie like you were "dying" not while panicking just from lack of energy and aches and pains and depression? I hope that is normal, I feel like I have that CFS, chronic fatigue syndrome or something! Thank you Carmie for youre prayers and compassion, you have been like angel too me, thank you, my hope and prayer is to recover both physical and emotionally so I can help others too like I have been helped, I especially hope that prayer is answered.
