I just logged on again now. I slept for awhile because I was up all last night with the pain. Oh Carmie, Vincenzia and Hugs you're posts brought tears too my eyes {happy tears for a change} You all are so supportive and giving it so helps me through the pain and panic and depression this sickness has brought me, thank you so much for praying and you're words of wisdom.
Thank you for the prayers Hugs please keep them coming! I am breathing Vincenzia and trying to think positive, I am drinking lots of liquids, through its hard because each time I swallow the pain is horrific but I bear it to keep hydrated, thank you.
Carmie thank you so much for you're post, it made me feel a little better too know you're antibotics took awhile too work also, through I wish they had not taken so long for you it broke my heart you had to suffer, I am on day seven now, three more too go, I do not even know if I have strep since he did not do the quick swab which I will never fully understand, I was treated good at the doctors they were nice, I was only hoping the treatment would work faster, the pain in my ear is almost unbearable, but the worst is when I swallow cough or yawn, is that normal? I am so hoping and praying it goes away soon.
My nurse Carmie was nice but it was a very hurried phone call, normally she will speak longer, I think she was busy between patients but I am grateful she called back, she basically said to follow up with the doctor, I am hoping I do not have too, my broncitis is better and my voice a little its just this darned ear that will not heal, I am going to take you're advice and call the phamarcy and see if I can put some olive oil, I think that would be safe, or if there is any antibotic drops over the counter too take, I just wish I knew what it was? The scariest thing is not too know what is causing the bad pain, and if its serious, but its only on the one side and severe, perhaps I just need a few more days too heal, I am laying on my side not my back I notice on my back is worse, are their glands in you're ears? its so strange I have never had this before, and I hope I never do again.
I am sorry I sound so scared and panicky, this is so hard too go through especially with the panic and depression, I guess maybe I am scared it wont go away and its something terminal, which I have to get those dark thoughts out of my head, reading about throat cancer was foolish it just go me so upset! I hope today will be better and I am praying by the end of the weekend it will be gone, thank you all so much for everything, I am so grateful and thankful I have all of you on this site.
