The joys of stress.

As it turns out, I have strep throat. I made a trip to the doctor last night and I have strep throat and thrush. YAY me.

I have a headache this morning and I’m still really tired but I was surprised to hear I had strep. My throat doesn’t hurt at all.

Stress is straight up, kicking my ass. The doctor said I need to start taking better care of myself (how am I not?) by getting plenty of rest and drinking lots of fluids.

So, I’m armed with antibiotics and 9 hours of sleep. I’m not allowed to see my dad until I’ve been on the antibiotic for over 24 hours so he’ll get to see me tomorrow. He’ll be thrilled I’m sure.

I did mention to the doctor that it feels like I've been sick a lot this year and he reminded me that I have fibromyalgia so my immune system is compromised anyway and stress is a horrible thing on the body. It's been a stressful year. But then again, when isn't it a stressful year?

Ah well. At least I know what's wrong with me and I'll be better by this time next week, when I leave for Boise!
