Damn this mortality of mine

[420_24/7]

Im sick. I have a very irritated throat and high fever. I cant smoke at all and ive been in bed for two days straight. Went to the doc yesterday. I though it was strep because my little brother had it last week, but its not. The bad part of that is that i cant get antibiotics so i just have to wait it out. The aspirin is not helping much, and its hard as hell for me to sleep. Doctor said it might be mono, in which case itll last a few weeks before the fever and sore throat go away. The worst part of this is, that i just got a new pipe, a new connection for chronic, and my first paycheck from my new job, which is a good bit larger than my last job. So anyway, life sucks, bitch bitch bitch...

Aww. Feel better fast! You know the deal... liquids, vitamin C, rest, comic books in bed, lots of groaning, all the good stuff.
What about a nice cup of hot Earl Grey with cannabutter cream? Mmm!

What is it Viral Pharyngitis? That's $30 wasted on a Strep test.

So sad your not feeling good ((

rest, fluids, relax, sleep, sleep, sleep
the new pipe will be there when your better


my daughter had Mono many years ago

she recovered well from it



my little brain wonders how

the Dr says no, to strep, but yes to mono, what! 8-0

Mono is a severe case of strep!

good luck!

Awww thats horrible hun. I hope you feel better soon.

John and I have been horribly sick also, with this stomach flue thing. I'm over mine pretty much but he's not, he threw up in my room last night. Luckily none of my things got anything icky on them....I even helped him clean up.

Thats love right there.

I missed that line, where you said "mono". I guess, I was interested in your new bowl, more.

Only thing to do is rest up - but if your up to it, buy the weed as you normally would and just save it up - then when your better you'll have a big bag of smelly ganja ready to heal you further! :D

Get better soon.

whenever im sick and cant comfortably toke, I just consider it a forced tolerance break. I almost enjoy it in a weird way, ive had a nagging sore throat and havent smoked in a couple weeks myself. Buy the weed when you can, let it sit there, and let the excitement build.

Learn to love delayed gratification:thumbsup:

The mono test came back this morning and its negative. Good news is yesterday my fever went away, and it still hasn't come back. The sore throat is starting to ease up also. So I think I should be ok in a few days. Guess it wasn't really as big of a deal as I thought. Should be back and smoking soon.:thumbsup:

Mono is a severe case of strep!


Mono is a viral infection and strep is a bacterial one. Mono can go into a dormant state for long periods of time and an infected individual may become contagious even without showing symptoms himself.

From Wikipedia:

Mononucleosis is usually caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epstein-Barr_virus) (EBV), which infects B cells (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_cell) (B-lymphocytes), producing a reactive lymphocytosis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphocytosis) and atypical T cells (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_cell) (T-lymphocytes) known as Downey bodies.

Strep throat is caused by the bacterium streptococcus pyogenes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streptococcus_pyogenes). [4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strep_throat#_note-1), [5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strep_throat#_note-2), [6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strep_throat#_note-3), and [7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strep_throat#_note-4) It is spread by direct, close contact with an infected person via respiratory droplets.

GET A VAPORIZER!

I promise you that if you do this you will feel so much better,

I have done this and done it to many people and they felt better afterwards

Take a half lemon and put it in a pan and boil. DRINK THAT!!!
its lemon water not that bad of taste- the acid is going to kill off the bactiera in your throat.

so you also havw swollen lymph nods. sp alternate bewtween a hot rag- i get it wet and then put it in the microwave for about 20 sec. place that on your neck till cool. then take off and rinse with cool water- place that on your neck. alternating helps with the swelling. would go into detail but its better to explain in in simple terms.

that should help you!!!

also put a pot of boiing water and stand over it, the steam will clear up any flem in your throat and lungs.

PEACE AND GREEN
