Sounds like an allergy to something, Try some Benadryl?

It's like weird red and white painful spots all over my tongue, cheeks, and throat. They are sores so I think it's too late for benedryl since that would just help the swelling which is already going down. And benedryl makes me really tired which is probably not a good idea at my job. I took some pain meds but they haven't helped.

It might just be a virus or something, I always get sick if I let my healthy eating slip up and if I get really stressed. I haven't been sleeping much and I've been pulling my hair out from going to both school and work full time, and I got a hold of some cupcakes the other day so the fat and sugar is probably messing with me.

I just want to go home and curl up in my bed.

Sorry to hear that - those are terrible side effects from eating cupcakes.

The only side effect I experience is happiness.

Lol! That's how I normally am but if I have stress/lack of sleep to go along with the junk food I almost always get sick. I might ask to leave a little early today. I hate to do it but I'm falling apart here.

Have to close-cut this... Check the nav panel -.- FML

And no I cannot use the channels trick because it needs a clipping path and "convert to path" gives shitty results.. Thank god it's bar night.

Are you on any antibiotics? If so, it sounds like you might have mono. My kid went through the exact same symptoms a few weeks back and it was because the doctor prescribed antibiotics to what was 'guessed' to be strep throat. It wasn't. And the next doctor said the spots were an allergic reaction to the anti-b created by it actually being mononucleosis.

(And a lot of running around for us all just for the sake of NOT spending the five bucks it would have taken to use a quick strep-id swab.)

Being a sicky poo

I've been fighting this damn cold for about 2 weeks and today I can hardly breathe. I tried to do stuff around the house to get things settled. I did a little bit and now I am completely exhausted. It's taking sheer will just to type

I think it's time for a nap
