So the quitting smoking has been going well. Very well!

Here's the "argh!!" part of the story...

I noticed after I quit smoking that my canker sores I used to get tons of as a youth/young adult before smoking, had gone away with the smoking. Odd, but it's the case.

So I quit, and back came the cankers. No biggie, I know acidic foods seem to trigger them.

Well, 1 formed in the back of my throat, but the little thingie that hangs down (someone will burst in with the scientific name!) so I went salt treatment and Chloraseptic. Well, it didn't seem to be getting better... in fact, I have now developed a little garden of white sores in my throat on the right side, and it appears that the left is beginning to join in.

No fever, no swollen glands, but I do feel like crud and my throat is megasore as you can imagine.

Yup. I do believe I got strep throat! Or SOMETHING. It's been ages since I had strep. Sigh.

Is this what 1 trip to the USA will do to a Canadian?! LOL jk

Doctor's appointment at the clinic in approx. 1h in any case. I did call my doctor today, and the secretary said we'd have to schedule for me to go in to discuss Nortriptyline, but to stop taking the other medication (venlafaxine) for now.

HEY ITS MONDAY IF YOU MISSED IT LOL!!!
