Sounds like a goddamn epidemic. (y'know, I really like the way 'goddamn' rolls off the tongue, I just wish it didn't have the confusing religious affiliation)
Anyway, I'm feeling almost completely better now. I can eat, I can move without my head bursting into flames, and I may just be able to concentrate enough to get to my first college class today at OSU (I'm still in high school, but I've exhausted the math options there). The oddest bit is, last night the doctor took one look at my throat and said strep. So I'm on antibiotics. Kinda late now, but maybe my lymph node with shrink back down. Those quick strep tests tend to fail for me, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. The avatar is going to go get a strep test, and I'd highly advise anyone with similar symptoms to go get it as well. Just hope it works for you.
