Oh man!

I have the worst sore throat!!!  My ears hurt and my throat is on fire, it hurts to swallow my own spit.  I've tried "at home" remedies and nothing has worked... the warm salt water just made me gag and dry heave.  And if I drink anymore decaf tea with honey, I may float away.  I guess I have to call the doctor today and see if I can get in... I don't know what they will be able to do for me, but I'm afraid to let it go if there is an infection.  Can I ever catch a break?!

UPDATE: Went to the doctor this afternoon- Strep Throat.  Freakin' great.
