immune system? what's that?

[crankylex]

I have some weird infection that is causing stabbing pain to attack my throat every time I swallow. With the careful application of drugs, my tonsils are slowly shrinking back down from golfball size.

This sucks in that I have had a christening to go to this morning, but I am afraid to go for fear of infecting others. So I will sit here and hope that someone brings me back something to eat. :-|

Proving that I am a dork, I was reading the label on the bottle of antibiotics and realized that what I am taking is just a much larger dose of what I give the cats for wound care.

Heee!

Years ago, our cat was on prednisone for a while. My husband never ceases to be amused when we watch any medical show and someone is given prednisone. "Prednisone! That's cat medicine!"

It's getting a little old now, but it amuses him, so...*g*

Ah, men. Such simple creatures, really. :->

Not long ago, the doctor prescribed doxycycline for me. He asked if I'd ever taken it in the past. "Nope," I said, "but I've given it to my rats a lot."

Lucky for me that my doc knows me pretty well. Without missing a beat, he said, "Good. Then you know all you need to about it."

*snicker*

And I really hope you're feeling better by now.
