Fighting n*

[xroofusx]

Well i've had tonsillitus over the past few days, which seems to be stixking with me, at about 8pm tonight my voice started to go, so its really croaky now lol, i then started to feel n*, it wasn't to bad to start with, but its now got to the point i have a bucket next to me. It keeps coming in waves, i've taken some paracetamol for my throat, i also have a headache and a really bad runny nose (sorry lol), and under my eyes and cheekbones hurt, like there being pressed. Im not sure if the n* is due to the headache or having lots of mucas in my nose and throat, i had some ginger biscuits with a cup of tea about an hour and a half ago, which i thought may help, but didn't. So its come to the point where im thinking about taking some anti-emetics, its a last resort for me, but does anyone else know any other way of getting rid of n* insted of me having to take one?? thanks if anyone could give advice.[img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

I'm sorry you feel so horrible. I have had tonsillitus a ton of times in my life. In fact, I had it so much that my doctor said if I got it one more time he would take my tonsills out - I never got it again [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]. It sounds like you have a nasty sinus infection to go along with it. I have never v*d from tonsillitus or really even been n*. Your n* is probably more from the sinus infection and all of the drainage running into your stomach. Hopefully you are already feeling better by now, but if it is stil btohering you, try drinking some Sprite or any clear, carbonated drink. I find that tens to help. It also seems to help when I keep a little something in my stomach so it isn't all drainage sitting there. Itsounds like you are doing this by eating the crackers.


I hope you feel better soon!

Hey, thank you for the replies. I also took your advice and had some mints, and have had some ginger biscuits to try settle it. I ended up taking a stemetil in the night as it became worse, so that knocked me out lol. Im going back to the doctors today as my mum also thinks its a sinus infection too and its all the drainage making me feel n*. Thanks for the advice, i'll go get some sprite later, i do have coke in the fridge which i could drink flat, but i think maybe the sprite would be a better idea.

You know Ruth,

I have to say I really admire your attitude. There you are, n* and with
a bucket next to you and yet you make jokes, aren't freaking out too
much and are in general very positive. I am very impressed and amazed
by your strength. I hope you are feeling better now, or will soon. I
just wanted to let you know that I think you should be very proud of
yourself.

Aw Roofus I hope you're feeling better today hun. I've had my tonsils out thank goodness, but I know that nauseous feeling you get from drainage.. its horrible. As someone said just keep eating so that the drainage(mucous) isn't the only thing in your stomach. [img]smileys/smilies_11.gif[/img]


Oh yeah and Big Brother - i'm watching it right now - how annoying and spoilt is Nikki?? Does she EVER stop crying/winging/moaning??? I thought she was cute at first but not she is just annoying!! I think Pete is great, and Glyn is just so nice and normal. I like Richard too.. he seems very sweet and caring. Not sure about those two new peeps.. the transexual seems quite nice but its early days hey!!

At the moment im still feeling unwell, but coping lol (i hope). The n* keeps going on and off, its more the flu thats the problem and cough, but hopefully the calpol should start to work soon lol (tastes so nice to [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]) also have some karvol capsules you put on your pillow, which i find really help the blocked nose. Also about big brother, yeah two new more housemates!! [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]its on now woo!! someone else walked out today, so if you don't know, i won't say lol but yeah someone left. I know nikki is so annoying!! she walks around moaning, saying things like "i feel like a cooped up chicken" and "im so bored, i want to go clubbing, i can't stand being enclosed" then why did you go on big brother for!?!? lol dear me, she dosn't stop lol, she's 24 and the younger people ct older then her, she will also have frown marks by the time she's 30, as thats all she does lol.
