So I guess most CVS now have walk in clinics now? That's super helpful, because after spending all of last night barely sleeping due to my throat and ears being messed up, I was able to get up and go there to have the friendly neighborhood nurse practitioner tell me that it's probably strep because I passed that test. It might also be mono, even though I already had that, but I guess it can recur? She also looked in my throat like five times because it was super swollen shut in a "if this doesn't unswell, you have to go to the emergency room, like, yesterday" kind of way.
That's super fun.
But I got steroids and antibiotics, and I've been taking them as directed today, and it now no longer feels like my entire head is exploding every time I swallow. That helps the "eating" and "drinking" segments of being alive, which is cool. The downside is that I can't go to work tomorrow, because I'm still infectious for the first day after I start the drugs. So Tuesday, I guess.
