Strep

So Im at home...its Saturday. 2:05 pm. Im sittin here on my bed "resting". In pajamas...The Oprah Winfrey channel is on. I took a shower earlier, and didnt dry my hair or anything, so its all over the place.
Ive been feeling pretty bad the last couple days...since like Wednesday I think. So yesterday at like 5-ish I got the chills and felt pretty bad. I didnt know what to do, should i go to the doctor? Go saturday morning? I didnt know.
So we decided I should go that night, and good thing I did. Fever just got worse. By the time i got to the doctor it was 101.
Had to take the strep test :P HATE it. While we were waiting for the results, I said "Well i better have it!" You know what i mean, if youve ever had it done. Its horrible.
(see previous posts about having it done before).
So guess who has strep?! ME!! yay. not. I got anti-biotics, and was told to eat TONS of cold stuff. Icecream, slushies, milkshakes, popsicles :) Well I didnt know if I could handle that...(sarcasm).

Streptococcus pyogenes is one of the most frequent pathogens of humans. It is estimated that between 5-15% of normal individuals harbor the bacterium, usually in the respiratory tract, without signs of disease. If untreated, strep throat can sometimes cause complications such as kidney inflammation and rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever can lead to painful and inflamed joints, a rash and even damage to heart valves. Strep throat is most common between the ages of 5 and 15, but it affects people of all ages.
