Hi girls,

First of all, let me say, as sick as I feel this morning, you all made me smile with your nice responses to my query yesterday. I realized that no matter how awful I feel, I have a wonderful support group here who care about me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Now, for the update. Last night was brutal. It was like knife blades slicing down the back of my throat every time I swallowed. And how bizarre is this? Last night when I went to bed, my mouth started rapidly filling with saliva every 60 seconds or so. I mean, tons of saliva. Normally, I probably wouldn't even notice that, but the pain! Since it hurt so bad to swallow, I was in agony. I ended up getting a glass from the kitchen, and I just kept spitting it out in there. SORRY TO BE GROSS! But, really there was nothing else I could do. This went on for almost an hour. The saliva doesn't seem to be such an issue this morning, and it doesn't hurt quite as bad to swallow this morning. I have an appointment to see my doc this afternoon. Thanks for all the advice. I will ask for a beta, but I will also request that she prescribe meds that are ok for pg women, just in case. Oh, and to add one more lovely thing, I now have a cold sore growing on my lip! Yaaaaaay! I'll be quite the picture of beauty at my work Christmas party this weekend!

Tina, thanks for the input re: orange popsicles. I will pick some up on the way home from my doctor's appointment! Oh, by the way, I did take today off! I just knew I needed a day to recoup!

Thanks again for everything ladies! You girls are the best!

Hope you got something to help you feel better. It sounds like it could be strep! That's the worst feeling.

Hi Novadele. It really does sound like strep throat. That's exactly how I felt when I had it and I also had a jumbo cold sore on my nose at the same time. My throat was agony. Should be interesting to hear what the doctor has to say.
But it's usually these wierd cycles that create your
come on
