Didn't you save a copy to My Pictures or somewhere? He dropped mine off shortly after he made it for me.

 

nah i forgot.

Good old ireland making people sigs

 

Im probably in the most pain ive ever been in.

My throat is swellled up like hell, i find it difficult to swallow. My head is pouding, and i cant walk becayse of my back. I dont know what happened to it but it just hurts to stand up.

You know when youve been to sleep for so long, you cant sleep anymore?

Thats the position im in because i went to sleep at about 5pm yesterday, and i woke up half an hour ago, but id do anything to be asleep.

I had to take the day off school too, and most likely work aswell

 

Sorry to hear that billybob, get well soon buddy!

 

@billybob

are there mosquitos in your area??

looks like you might have some kind of dengue.

check it out just in case.

sorry about it by the way.

 

@Billybob ... I really hope you o.k.; I sure know what that back thing feels like. Given the other symptoms you described, I've got my fingers crossed that you merely have some sort of nasty bug ... those too can make your back hurt. Keep us posted about how things work out and get better soon!

 

chronic tonsellitus apparently.

penicillin 4 times a day, 250mg.

yuk. it hurts so bad

 

glad to hear is not that nasty dengue.

hope you get well soon.

 

@Billybob
Had chronic tonsillitis for years until an old country doctor taught
me a little trick. Take 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in a glass of
water and gargle with it. Don't put any sugar in. If I did this
when the throat started to get sore it usually stopped it right
away with no meds. Even if its a serious bout it will clear up
days sooner.
(I can hear the old timers laughing about this, but it really works.)
The reason your back hurts so bad is the kidneys are trying to clear
the infection from your system.

 

Shardel is giving good advice billyboy...

Resist the urge to add whiskey tho. hehehe.

Drink plenty of water, cranberry juice, and hot tea. The hot liquid helps with soothing the soar throat as well, be sure to add lemon to the tea too.

hth.....

....gm

B!TCH of the day: Vacation is coming to an end and it has gone by so FAST you wouldn't believe it.

 

Firstly, damn you greensman! Making me laugh with your whiskey remarks when im in this condition

Right. Shardel, thank you very very much. My older sister just bought me two lemons and a jar of honey, saying that mixing a few teaspoons of honey with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and adding hot water, stirring, and drinking, would help soothe my throat alot. I tried it, and while i was drinking it, it was bliss, i then didnt have the energy to make any more lol.

But your confident that two tablespoons on pure lemon juice gargled will do the trick? If so ill try that in a minute.


And greensman, thanks v much, i just ate half a packet of mcvities digestive chocolate biscuits because they were the only things i could swallow without horrendous pain, and they are all i have eaten in 24 hours. Ill try the lots of drinking of tea.

Thanks alot for your advice guys

P.S, so it is linked with the pain in my back? THe kidneys are trying to clear the infection? Thats amazing, at least i know that my bodies figthing it off lol. The pain is terrble though, without going into too much detail, i have lots of excess phlegm that i cant do anything with because my throat and....pharynx(?) is so painful.

 

yeah it could be. are you a heavy soda pop drinker? if so lay off the stuff its no good for the kidneys especially pop like Mountain Dew etc. drink all the water you can get down

 

Billy bob:
The reason you don't put sugar in the lemon juice and water is that
bacteria love to feed on sugar and multiply. I am absolutely convinced that it works. I spent years fighting tonsilitis. Still
have my tonsils and have not had a bad attack in decades.
The more fluids you get down you the better your back will feel. I
know with a throat that sore it is miserable to swallow.
Greensman is right about one thing. The whiskey will help cut the
phlegm. Problem is it burns like fire until you get the throat so
it isn't so sore.
When I was 18 was when I met this old country doctor. He also
told me about the whiskey and how to make an old fashioned cough
syrup that really works. (I didn't drink then and I still don't.)
I went to the liquor store and asked for a bottle of whiskey. The
guy said what kind do you want. Wide eyed I said there are different
kinds? The guy looks at me sort of superstitious and asks what I
want it for. I told him. He said yah sure and laughed, but handed
it me a bottle of whiskey. That little bottle lasted me over 20
years.
Edited typing error.

 

You should have called greensman; it would have lasted 20 minutes

@billyboy ... I hope you feel better soon kiddo!

 

Little bottle? More like 20 seconds.

Get well soon billybob. You don't have to mix the ingredients for that cough syrup Shardel mentioned. The one I learned was to mix a bit of horehound candy with lemon tea and then mix in the liquor. For a bad cold, dispense with the lemon tea and candy. LOL
