I’m starting to get annoyed. I’ve had some sort of sore throat since returning from Washington, DC nearly two weeks ago. It started the day after my return to Boston and I attributed it to the flight (I always manage to come down with something when I fly). <\/P>
\n

The original symptoms were simply a discomfortable dry throat. It was in the top back of my mouth\/throat, technically, and more focused on the left side. It then moved down into my throat – centrally located.<\/P>
\n

Things improved a bit over the weekend, but I suspect going to two bars on Saturday night and staying up late didn’t help (despite the fact that bars are smoke-free, you still have to yell to communicate).<\/P>
\n

Now there is no pain associated with swallowing (keep it clean, people), but my jaw literally hurts. Both sides of my neck have swollen glands to the point that I think you can see it. Maybe not, but I sure as hell can feel it. It hurts to turn my head or open my mouth to speak. But not in a sore throat kind of way – but in a pulled muscle sort of way. It’s odd.<\/P>
\n

I have no other symptoms: no runny nose, no cold, no other aches or fevers. <\/P>
\n

I know, I know, I suspect that Karyn and Matt are preparing to post a nasty comment already that I need to get my ass to the doctor (Karyn) or medicate the pain (Matt). Well, after nearly two weeks of suffering, I’ve finally made an appointment for tomorrow (Friday). Of course, as is always the case with me, by the time I get into the doctor, the symptoms will have disappeared.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
