“Irritated and Inflamed”
Posted on Wednesday, July 7th, 2004 at 20:44.
I feel like Microsoft Windows… infected!
Apologies for the bad pun, but I have Strep again. How do I get Strep twice within a 6-month period?! I was ordered to not attend work for two days and to avoid speaking. A femi-nazi once told me that I was far sexier with my mouth shut, so maybe This Is A Good Thing™.

Well I hope you feel better soon! ::zzz::
Ah, that sucks. Get better. Get plenty of sleep.::zzz::
Thanks guys. I went out for a Chinese dinner and feel somewhat better. Buddha is blessing me. lol
There is some scientific evidence that MSG is effective against sore throat pain. Thus, a Chinese dinner may well provide a certain amount of therapeutic relief, particularly if you gargle the chewed contents of your mouth before swallowing it. But the psychological effect must also be considered. And then, who knows what strange antidote may lurk deep in the heart of a mooshu pork pancake?
*SO* odd that you mention Chinese food. I actually ate Chinese food last night (sweet and sour soup and an eggroll) and my throat didn’t hurt nearly as much, but my stomach was quite upset later. :-\
