Going on for about the last two and a half months, off and on, I have been having a small battle with some kind of something. It started with a sore, scratchy throat and within a couple days I had lost my voice and at times feeling pretty miserable. So off to the doctor I went. The first time I had....strep throat, bronchitis, laryngitis and one other thing that I can't remember at the moment. So the doctor put me on the antibiotics which I then acquired the lovely yeast infection from. Got all over all of the above, or so I thought. Went for about two weeks doing alright and...bam, started having the same throat symptoms, etc.
This time the doctor decided to put me on three weeks worth of antibiotics and referred me to an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat specialist) because according to my PCP (Primary Care Physician) he felt I needed to have my tonsils taken out.
Finished the antibiotics about a week ago and guess what? BAAAMMM.. this time it is even worse than the first time. I have no voice, throat is raw, irritated and I just don't feel like myself. I try to talk and no one can understand what I am trying to say. My lungs don't feel like I am getting enough oxygen so then I get worn out from trying to speak.
Am I complaining? Yes, I guess I am. Or at least venting! I am just sick and tired of being sick and tired. But I know I am not alone. There are other's out there having a lot of the same problems, if not worse. So now that I got it off my chest here to you all, I'll just try to start being thankful and hopeful that someday this will all go away and I'll be better again.
