here's an update for ya'll...thx for responding by the way...
we all went to the e.r...i know, not an emergency but by the time my bf's paycheck got into his acct (its some kind of paycheck card thing) it was really late and the doctor's offices were closed and my doctor's appt with my o.b is not until tomorrow...so anyways e.r was the best way to go to get us all seen at the same time.
all 3 strep tests came up negative (YAY!) but because we HAD strep in the house recently the doc put the 3 of us on antibiotics, just in case.
they used the word pharyngitis - and said it was just a big word for sore throat...but did not say if it was a cold or something. i dont FEEL like it's a cold cuz i dont have the body aches, sneezing, runny nose, etc...
normally for a cold i'd do my home remedy of chicken noodle soup, orange juice & echinacea which helps me fight off a cold ALOT quicker but being pregnant i cant take echinacea.
i dunno. whatever it is it better go away soon.
