pity party- updated AGAIN with more pity
So, I was REALLY sick about a month ago with probably swine (that's what my dr thinks it was, anyway)
So..... I was VERY sick and I thought that would be it for a while...
But yesterday my throat started hurting and today it hurts A LOT  No fever or anything so I didn't make a doc appt, and I'm hoping it just turns into a cold!! 
Seriously, I thought I DID MY TIME! I thought based on how sick I was, that would be it for me for a while! But, of course I know it really doesn't work like that.
Ok, pity party over (for now!) 
Update:
I can almost guarantee that there has never in the world been a throat out there that hurts more than mine does right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2nd Update:
Sooooooooo I go to the dr and he tells me my throat looks close to normal. I was like
 It feels like I'm swallowing knives, and he tells me it looks close to normal?!?!!?! I seriously think he wasn't looking closely enough He says to call again if I am not better in 2-3 days. I am still in utter shock.

Re: pity party
Thanks!!!
I hope I feel better soon too, I feel like I have a reputation at my dr's office! If I end up calling tomorrow, they're going to be like ... "AGAIN?!"  I get sick SO much, it's ridiculous.

Re: pity party- update with more pity
Ugh, I know the feeling. This year I was on antibiotics for about 4 months for various things. (Of course my sinus surgery was in the middle of that time too.)
At one point I just broke down and couldn't take it anymore.
Feel better

Wow that sounds awful!
As a teacher I am CONSTANTLY getting sick. I thought the summer would be a "well period" for me.... but 2 weeks into my summer vacation and I'm already sick.
(updated above with my dr visit)

Re: pity party- updated AGAIN with more pity
this may sound weird - but could it be air conditioning related??? i know sometimes for me - when i'm in the a/c a LOT - my throat hurts - and as soon as i get outside or turn off the air - or get out of the DIRECT shot of the air - i feel better...
one thing that has ALWAYS worked for me with bad sore throats (and wow do i get them a lot - and actually currently have an infection) is a slurpee. FREEZE your throat....either freeze or burn it. The freezing will help numb it (obviously) - but when it's bad - i've been known to go through 3-4 slurpees a day - because it makes swallowing better...
on the flip side - burning with soup or hot tea or coffee also helps - especially if it's an itchy sort of pain...

Thank you SO much for your suggestions and input......
Basically it hurts to swallow ANYTHING .. hot or cold! But, since I am obsessed with icecream and I have a big container of a "chocolate brownie" variety in my freezer, I suffered through the pain of swallowing it to have a bowl! 
As far as the air conditioning, it hurts no matter what... tried turning off the air conditioner.. still hurts really bad. It's not a burning feeling, it's more like a jabbed with a knife feeling if that makes any sense! It's a jarring pain and it's just on the left side of my throat. The right side feels fine!
Right now I am just SO annoyed because I went all the way out to my dr (25 mins each way) for him to tell me my throat looks 'close to normal' and I should just go home and rest. Sounds easy, right? Well how can I rest if I am ready to rip my throat out because it hurts SO bad?!? I slept for 3 hours last night because it hurt so bad it kept me up... and then he tells me he doesn't see anything. I feel like he wasn't thorough enough. He didn't even look in my ears. How sad is it that I might need to go and get a second opinion for my SORE THROAT if it doesn't improve in the next day or 2....
Ok vent over

Re: pity party- updated AGAIN with more pity
oh sweety - right now - DAIRY may not be your friend....i've always found that dairy does more damage than good when my throat is acting up...
try ice pops or slurpees or things like that - NOT ice cream. see if that helps!!!!!!
i'm so sorry!!!!

Re: pity party- updated AGAIN with more pity
Thanks!!
I took your advice and had a smoothie made with fruits, honey, and soy milk.
Hopefully this will be gone soon!  I am literally a sickness magnet. I had swine last month.

i saw that...i KNOW how you feel. I'm the SAME way - if it's not one thing - it's another. When i was a kid - i literally was sick every single day - i was supposed to do a semester of swimming for gym - but because i had CONSTANT ear/throat infections - i wasn't allowed (and i LOVE swimming)... i'm currently insanely sick - it's not fun!!!
thank you for the compliment! if only she wasn't colicky!

Ha! I just wanted to say that ironically I missed a semester of swim gym too from being sick! (I actually had terrible period problems that has a lot of TMI detail attached to it)
Unlike you though, I hated swim gym, so I felt blessed!
I'm gonna start taking vitamin c regularly.
