In Reply to: Horrible sore throat - neg flu, neg strep - hurts sooo bad (sm) - Anyone with any ideas??? Please?
but no fever, just congestion. I started using a Netti pot two times every day and I no longer have the sore throat. I even tried going without it for a day and sore throat came right back. It must be that I sleep with my mouth open due to the congestion. Good luck!

Well, I have had a sore throat and head cold now for a week and it was pretty
bad. My ears even hurt.
Sore throat suggestions
I have chronic sinus problems and postnasal drip. Some suggestions I have are to use a cool mist humidifier at night, use saline nasal sprays (like Ayr or Ocean) at least twice a day, gargle with warm salt water (as far back into your throat as you can), and I make a drink with a cup of hot water, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of honey. I also drink chicken broth or eat chicken noodle soup. That might be placebo, but I always feel better after warm chicken broth.
I have had a sore throat now for 2 days..sm
It feels like it may be starting to get better though. My husband had the same thing last week. My nose has ran a little too. I don't know. Must be a cold or something.
Well this isn't your everyday sore throat (sm)
It feels like severe strep, only it's neg for strep and it has been going on about 4 days now and shows no signs of getting any better. Nothing I am doing to try to treat it seems to help. I am now on zithromax, magic mouthways, chloraseptic, saltwater gargles, honey, cough drops, vitamin C and naprosyn, and still waking up through the night with my throat hurting :(
Sore throat remedies needed...sm
I'm on day #4 of a severe sore throat. Ran a fever days 1 and 2. Really no sinus congestion to aggravate it. My 7-year-old daughter has the same thing but with sinus drainage. The pediatrician confirmed yesterday she doesn't have strep and this is all a virus that is going through the community as they've seen a lot of this same virus over the past week. We found out that 2 other kids in her class have the same muck.
We're doing salt water gargles and I'm using Cepacol lozenges. We're also drinking lots of hot and cold fluids. I can't use TheraFlu because it has ingredients that I'm allergic to. I can't eat anything other than drinking liquid soups because it hurts too bad. Definitely not a fun way to lose weight for sure!
What's your favorite remedy to make a sore throat feel better?
I do know my flu started with a severe sore throat
and then progressed to a very high fever, and chills and then it coupled with bronchitis. But the other poster is right, my doctor said there are so many different types of flu around this year. If he gets worse I would definitely call the doctor.
I had a horrible sore throat a few months ago and used
a big tablespoon of pure honey and just ate it. I probably over a few hours that same day used a couple more but it was amazing for me, totally worked. I really had nothing here at the house for sore throat that seemed to work. Hope it can help you too.
WHy when I did a shot of whiskey it help my very very sore throat and cold??
It was suggested to me to do a shot of whiskey (which I hate by the way) because I had a very bad sore throat, the kind of sore throat that is deep down in your throat like towards the bottom of your neck...anyhow I had been battling this for over 5 days worse with it getting worse with each day...So, I do the shot of whiskey and it helped reduce the intense pain immediately and while my throat still aches, the intense deep pain is gone....Why does this work?
Could be strep - makes my children throw up, sometimes no sore throat(nm)

Horrible sore throat - neg flu, neg strep - hurts sooo bad (sm)
they gave me magic mouthwash, I am using that plus Chloraseptic which they said was ok, they gave me zithromax just in case, which I started taking, I am using naprosyn and sudafed too. So....Sudafed, naprosyn, magic mouthwash, and chloraseptic and my throat is still killing me. Has anyone else had this and/or does anyone have any suggestions??? I have just had a low grade temp which is gone now, very runny nose and some body aches which are not that bad. But the throat - oh my goodness I can't even explain how bad it is.
By the 4th day, I would be too sore to continue the rest of the week...
LOL
I have suffered from TMJ for many years. sm
I never bite my tounge in my sleep until my mother passed away. I did it several times for about 3 months after her death but then it stopped and it hasn't happened in almost 3 year. I could not adjust to a night guard so I just live with the TMJ. Have given up gum, ice, nuts, etc.
I suffered a miscarriage with my 1st pregancy
and got pregnant VERY easily immediately after they told me that we could start trying again and now have a beautiful, healthy 8 y/o that happens to share her b-day with your due date! Congratulations! :)
My work suffered today because of this
You have said now what my husband said about taking the furniture. I will make this 1 trip in the morning to see if my check will be there....I would love to picket in front of their place and yes I would do that with the hrs I could spare. I cannot believe this can happen to not only me but others. It is highway robbery and no one can stop it?? Maybe I can sleep on it overnight and sometimes the answers come that way. I will try and see. I so much appreciate each and everyone who took the time to give advice.
As a young girl, I suffered so much
with cramps, so bad I would be bent over so all girls are not alike. Years ago we could buy OTC paragoreic (sp?) and it was horrible to taste but it did the job in relieving those cramps. I also believe the steroids not only have to do with early puberty but also the fact of lots of excessive weight on people now. You never saw as obese people years ago, say in the 30s or 40s. I know loads will say fast food but also then our food supply was not loaded with all that it is now.
Only if you've never suffered from depression and
Walk a mile or two in my shoes before you go judging me, or anyone else who's been helped by antidepressants.
My little brother suffered from severe migraines.
Finally when my Mom took him for an eye exam, he apparently had terrible vision. He would vomit and needed to be in the dark. Have you had her eyes examined as of late? Worth a short. Also, if these continue, you may want to have her seen by a neurologist. OR - She may just have a flu, there is a lot going around right now maybe since the weather changed. Not that a flu is a very nice thing to have, but hopefully she'll feel better soon. Also, try a washcloth with hot water across her eyes, that may reduce the throbbing of the headache itself and help her to relax.
Besides the obvious humiliation the girl has suffered
Isn't this also the equivalent of performing medical testing on a minor without parental consent? I agree with all of the above posters. This child has been humiliated and that counselor needs to lose his job. I have a 12 yo and she would be MORTIFIED if this was done to her. She's uncomfortable enough with her body changes, such as her breasts developing and just starting to have periods. She would be embarrassed beyond words if something like this happened to her.
I wish we could all go the week of the graduation but their graduations are always a week earlier th
ours. So actually all three of my kids are still in school this week while all of hers will already be out. My youngest is actually missing school to go but my two older kids have finals so they can't go at all that week.
Thank you. I guess I'm just trying to find a nice way to say it without causing friction and keeping the peace.
My DH is your typical male, just deal with it when the time comes whereas I want to take care of things right away without hurting anyone's feelings.
I have never seen Deep Throat but know I don't want

He didn't force it down her throat..
She obviously just wasn't smart enough to say no.
I won't cram my testimony down anyones throat unless they want to hear it.

I was sore from bowling!
After playing it all night when we first got it, I woke up this next morning and my right shoulder was killing me! I mean, I lift weights regularly, and I don't even get as sore from that! I also love the tennis one, and I take the Wii Fitness test almost every day! I am getting Mario Galaxy and the Mario Olympic games next week, and I can't wait! I also have to recommend the Rayman Ravid Rabbids game as that has to be the FUNNIEST game I have ever seen! Shooting toilet plungers at crazy screaming bunnies! LOL!
It doesn't look sore, red or anything. Just
xx
Also about the teeth being sore...
Our orthodontists both told us that if OTC meds do not help your pain, they are too tight and you should call for a 2nd adjustment. Your teeth should not be so sore that you can't eat a regular diet. Who knows, yours might have a different policy or idea, but don't suffer through the pain without asking. I did and they finally told me that I shouldn't be and they don't know that unless the patient tells them.
A sore loser? I saw it and I think she was truly shocked.

I had wondered if it was bec his joints are sore (sm)
That is interesting. He does seem arthritic these days but I thought it was just from him being so old. I had wondered if he was chewing his paw (the top of his paw, not the pad) because his joints hurt. I feel so bad for our poor pets who can't tell us what is wrong. I guess he will have to go to the vet (whether he likes it or not!)LOL
Ditto, I would think anyone with a cold sore - sm
would know not to kiss anyone, especially a newborn. Obviously the mother was not thinking, it was her baby, etc., unless she did not know she had it, and/or that it was herpes as all cold sores are and very contagious and spread by kissing, contact, etc. It is very sad the nursing staff did not say something to her prior, during, after the birth as this all could have been easily prevented.
For sore neck & shoulders I swear by - sm
Flexall Extra-Strength. (Used to be 'Flexall 454'). Has a menthol/linament kind of smell (which I like), but who cares - it works like a charm for me on those tight, stressed-out muscles. Not only when working, but when going to bed at night, too. Cat hates it, but too bad. I LOVE it.
Also helpful was buying an adjustable, keyboard try that attaches under the desk. By typing with the keyboard basically in my lap, it opens the angles of my elbows (pain in those is from bone spurs, when elbow is flexed to 90 degrees or more). Also, having the keyboard low, with very nice soft, cushy wrist-rest, takes the load off my shoulders from trying to hold my hands higher.
I change chair height frequently during the day, also get up and move around. I make sure to get out and exercise (jog, walk, bike, skate, go to gym, etc.) once a day, too. Got a chair that is adjustable 5 ways: seat tilt, seat height, back height, back tilt, and lumbar support. Keeping the room warm helps, too. When thumb & wrist arthritis flares up, I take aspirin & wear typing gloves to keep hands warm.
Last, but not least, I keep knee chondromalacia at bay with Osteo Bi-Flex (glucosamine & chondroitin) daily.
Sore thumb joints from hitting space bar (sm)
They are sore on the opposite side of the thumb, not the underside that hits the space bar. Does anyone know anything I can wear on my thumbs to prevent this from getting worse? I'm afraid I'm giving myself arthritis in my thumbs! Thanks
Anyone else get sore legs and muscle tightness and leg pain when
walking and pulling tendons a certain way with walking from sitting and holding your legs fixed when working. I think I tend to stiffen up my legs. I expect some amount of tendonitis is going on.
I agree and leaving early not sore loser (sm)
I think that's just graceful, letting the winners have their day plus that had to really sting after the great season they had. But what a great game it was. Both teams should be proud they made it there.
swore not sore. Ugg. Someday the pounds will go away and the typos too
nm
Yes, sore breasts and missed period are definitely good indicators...
take a test already and let us know--lol
Finances were a real sore spot in our marriage for a long time
But my husband was in the military for 12 years, and he was away quite a bit, so I had to take over the finances. When he was home and he was paying the bills, he would get so upset because he felt there wasn't enough money and "where does all the money go?" "why don't we ever have any left?" was all I heard. I finally told him I was taking them back over because I was sick of hearing that every month. I put everything on MS Money, categorize it, subcategorize it, and add memos, so if he wants to know exactly where the money is going, all he has to do is look.
Funny....he really hasn't complained a whole lot since.
I went there for a week but never could get - sm
in the water as it was red flagged the whole time I was there. Stayed at the Oasis, very nice. Only went down to the beach once, ended up stepping on a bee, must have been one heck of a bee as it made me sick (or a reaction)--never had that happen before, luckily only for the rest of the day (2pm on), was fine the next day except for a sore foot. --I recommend Grand Cayman, great beaches, great snorkeling or scuba (the reefs there are amazing), the turtle farm is neat. Can be pricey but not too bad. I've been there about 5 x, plan on going again one of these days.
Since it has only been a week since
they were nursing, this is probably not abnormal, but it can't hurt to talk to the vet anyway. I also agree with below posters, definitely get this girl spayed. I raise show cats and this is most definitely the time of year the girls cycle the most, it is kitten season. Good luck.
The week from you know where
Not sure where to start here -- but I'll try to make this short and sweet. In a roommate situation till I can get some bills paid. Roomie sitch is a male and female couple and myself and I have a " significant other" who has lived with a male roomie for 12 years. Nothing FUNNY is going on with the roommate situation and for me, here in the Miami area, just working and "digging out of the hole" so to speak. I rent a room am able to use the house where I live.
Thursday, I ended up getting a new cell phone after BATTLING with S carrier for a month. It was a Motorola Q and while I know computers -- this thing baffled me -- Monday morning and it might be a return -GRR.
Sorry, OLD lady here and I digress -- anyway, with all the S***on Monday after being gone from my place for 3 weeks, the FEMALE roomie has done nothing but get on my case -- when I returned, unpacked, worked, and went to Long John Silvers. The rest of the week, I had frozen shrimp and used a SMALL portion of her pasta. What I did not eat was put in a plastic container and sealed in the fridge.Basically griping the whole week -- NOTE -- she does not work and her BF supports
Thursday, was on the phone with Sprint, got new phone, went to Wal-Mart and got my haircut (after about a month and a half) and back to the house. I then tried to get "new phone" working right and on with techs to very little avail, so gave it up and went to bed. SO called me Friday morning and I loaded my car to make the trip to Miami -- Friday afternoon, I get a call from the "female roomie" about the "mess I had left -- 1 plate in the sink from pasta she had made and OFFERED, the restt of the shrimp was in the fridge, and when I cook, I clean afterwards. The only thing in the sink was a plate, fork and coffee cup -- I get a call Friday and she was BALLISTIC --telling me that she wasnt my maid etc -- HELLO?
Saturday, I was busy cause the new phone didnt work right and my son and his GF flew down here to go on a cruise so not online at all -- I sign in late tonight and she had sent threats via my Yahoo account -- I really, HONESTLY think that because her "boyfriend controls her" Here again too, she has no DL -- NO car and if she dosent answer her phone, he would call my cell, but that changed when I changed my # --
I'm rambling but...is this a thing where I call the "authorities" ? I have done enough psych transcription -- BUT to get her to a hospital Im not sure what to do.
I am sooooooooo sorry that this was long but 3:45 here and I am REALLY scared of going back there tomorrow
Thanks
I saw a guy last week
who had been a teacher for a school, band and choir I think, who got the 3-X out for being "boring" or something to that effect. Not sure if he is the same guy you are looking for.
During the week, they can SM
Go to after school activities (including sports), work (very limited hours) and church. They are allowed on Friday and Saturday (I have two teens by the way) to make any plans that they want within reason of course. Sunday is for church and family dinner unless other arrangements are made WAY in advance. I have two younger ones too and they will have to abide by the same.
Good luck!
We usually eat out once a week. On the
nights I don't feel like cooking, I have frozen dinners in the freezer, soups, make grilled cheese, and I always have leftovers from the nights I do cook.
My kids love pizza, so our "eat out night" is usually Pizza Hut or Papa Murphy's takeout.
About once a week sm
She is a small poodle, less than 2 years old. She runs outside every chance she gets and gets under the deck. She also sleeps on my bed every night and I will not sleep with something that smells bad. If I enjoyed that sort of thing, I would still be married.
She has very fine, wavy poodle hair. She is oily and if she doesn't have a bath at least every 10 days, she freezes in the winter, even in her cute little sweaters. I give her a bath, let her dry in front of the faux fireplace, and brush her a bit. Next day, she is perfectly warm in her little sweaters and warmer at night too. If she goes very long, she develops so much eye snot that she can't see well. I do my own grooming and I keep her properly trimmed about every other week.
End result is: Gorgeous little apricot poodle who looks adorable and smells like flowers. No dry skin, no flaking, almost never scratches at all unless she has had to go a whole 2 weeks without a bath. This is not too frequently for this dog.
We are at 1-2 x a week, usually just on - sm
the weekends though, and usually quickies as the kids are always here......I am so tired at night that anything more than a quickie is rare and maybe once a month.--My DH is the one who initiates as my sex drive went in the toilet 10 years ago with my first pregnancy and just never came back. I still enjoy it just lost the "urge" for it I guess.
I think this week for sure it's going
to be Matt or Allison. Kris keeps hanging on because the young girls think he's hot, but I actually prefer Matt to Kris voice-wise...
I think Gokey was AWESOME last night, as usual. :)
once a week maybe.
Used to go out more but got sick of eating out. It began to taste all the same. Plus, during the summer, my husband grills out 2 to 3 times a week and it's GREAT!
also once a week....nm

WHAT A WEEK!!!!
We lost Michael, Farrah, and Ed McMahon!!! I don't follow "celebrities" all that much, but wow! I can't believe 3 in one week.
Same thing I think every week...he needs to go!
If you haven't watched tonight's AI yet, I don't want to spoil anything so don't read this if you don't want to hear anything. All I can say is...what was up with that crying little girl??? But then again, she cried when Melinda sang too so maybe she does have some taste after all!
Did not see the preview from last week.
Well that is good news to see him up and about. Hopefully that will happen today, maybe.
Yes, so sad when Nick and Sharon were screaming and then Nick trying to get back in. May be Nick and Sharon will reunite because of this. I like them together.
I am watching while I am working too. Really hard to get anything done.
In another preview from last week
we saw him sitting up. Hopefully that is a good sign. Didn't your heart just break when you saw Nick trying to run back in the building? OOOOOHHHH, I get too involved. LOL
I have for a week and a half now
I started it a week ago Sunday.. that would be the 17th. I have had absolutely no "treatment effects" as they call them. I have watched what I eat and have switched to some lower fat or no fat products, as far as like cheese, salad dressings, sour cream, things like that. I don't really eat a lot of fatty meat anyway, so that hasn't been anything to deal with. The changes have been pretty simple actually, pretty easy to make. Also with Alli, it only works around the meal that you take it with. So, if you basically want to watch your fat for most lunches and dinners, as I'm doing, you just take it for those two meals. I don't worry about it with breakfast because I usually just have cereal anyway. If you have some occasion planned, dinner out, might be having a meal with more than 15 g or so of fat, just don't take it. It is pretty simple really and if it does nothing else, it keep you honest with those meals you eat when you take it.
