I have officially confused the hell out of pretty much every physician that I've been to. What started out as what seemed like the flu morphed into what seemed like strep throat two days later. Now... I've got what looks like huge ulcers spanning from the roof of my mouth and going down my throat. No wonder this shit hurts so bad.
All of my tests that have been done have come out negative:
It's not Mono.
It's not Strep.
It's not the Flu.
It's not Herpes.
All they can tell is that it's pretty much something viral, and something I can just keep taking my meds for and wait it out. This means that I get to be doped up on Lortabs for the rest of this week, and most likely, get dropped from my classes because I'm too weak to do anything. Standing up uses so much energy that by the time I put one foot out in front of me, I feel like I'm going to faint. It's partially due to not being able to eat correctly. I've been living off of Yogurt and Chicken Broth. Not even Chicken noodle soup. The noodles get caught in my throat. :sad: Ice cream even hurts, because it's so cold. It makes my ears hurt. I can do coffee in moderation. Mashed potatoes do not work. Macaroni and cheese does not work.
So, I'm asking for your help guys.
Give me suggestions of foods that are near liquid form but that are NOT COLD. :happysad:

God damn it, Danni. You're going to have to get better soon. Honestly, does it seem like perhaps you could have picked-up some sort of systemic infection from your surgery? Have they cultured you for Staph?

I never had staph. I'd rather have staph than whatever the hell this is.
We're going to have to assemble an elite team of WTFers to get shrunken down and go inside you to find out what the fuck is wrong.
You know... like in that one movie... fuck if I can remember the name of it. It's an older movie though and this team of doctors gets shrunken down and they take this tiny little ship thing into this guy's brain to destroy a brain tumor with lasers or something... we watched it in 8th grade health class.
:tard:
Nevermind me. I haven't had any sleep today.
Get better soon.

So, it's gradually healing up. I'm able to eat things like scrambled eggs, yogurt, some pastas (I have to cut up the noodles into smaller noodles), soup, and I can eat ice cream again. I couldn't the other week because cold stuff hurt me. It still hurts, just not as much.
I've been drinking Vitamin Waters like crazy, I've been taking vitamin supplements now that I can swallow pills again without too much pain, and I've been trying to eat healthier than I have been. My appetite still sucks. I'm eating three times a day, but the equivalent of my three meals is probably the equivalent of one of yours. That's how bad off my appetite is.
I've lost a total of 14 pounds over the past two weeks, which is extremely unhealthy. The weight that I'm at is pretty close to the minimum that is considered healthy for my height, as far as army standards go.
In addition to everything described above, I still feel weak. If I exert more than the required amount of energy (for example, I tried to dance today just to make my friend giggle) I feel like I have run a marathon.
My fevers have reduced themselves from the 102 range to the 99 range. I still sweat off a fever every night.
Also, I feel like if I had the chance to, I could probably hibernate if I wanted to. I feel like I haven't gotten enough sleep at all. Right now I'm still awake thanks to a little bit of a caffeine shot I had earlier to help me stay awake in class, but pretty soon, I will pass out, and when I wake up, the first thing I'm going to want to do is go back to sleep.
My biggest concern is that there could be scar tissue near my larynx. It feels like that's a really big possibility right now. I might go to the doctor sometime next week if it still feels the way it does to get them to do a scope of my throat and see how well it's healing up.
Other than the few concerns, I'm feeling a lot better than I was at the beginning of my two weeks of hell.
Thanks for your kind words in the process of my healing. :hug2:

Before you take anything I say wrong, One, you know I like you. Two, this isn't just about you, but it is about you too. In any case, you need to change the way you think about things. Much of illness is simply stress and lack of drive and feeling hopeless which all lead to night terrors and many other things and spiral out of control.
I'm older, overweight, don't exercise, smoke, abuse drugs and alcohol, and for my entire health outlook, I simply take a multivitamin and call done. Yet, I'm truly one of the healthiest people I know, and it's all attitude. It's all in the mind, in confidence, in feeling good, in truly trying to enjoy your life. Put the petty shit in it's place. Change the way you look at things. PM the shit out of me if you are seriously interested in hearing my thoughts more on this.
A serious, but happy, mind can be possible. Health can follow. It's true.

Actually, I'm pretty happy right now. I haven't been stressed out too much, other than trying to find a job, which is damn near impossible. I'm still looking, but not stressing over it.
I've started exercising (at least I was before any exertion of energy left me feeling broken), so I'm more active than I used to be, I gave up smoking three weeks ago (and thanks to me being sick, I haven't had a single craving), and I'm getting my life back in order.
If this sickness really is a product of stress, I would be surprised, considering that I am happy, doing well in school, not letting petty shit bother me, and I'm actually getting my life back to where it needs to be after getting slapped down in the dirt by reality. I would think this would have happened long ago.
I'm in no way debasing your opinion on the matter, either., JL Don't get me wrong. It's just that if this seriously is something having to do with stress, it surprises the shit out of me.

I'm glad your mental health is recovering from all the excitement you've had in your life over the last little while (year). Maybe you'll really start to be better soon.
Also, in case you missed my drift, I was implying your mental attitude can prevent you from being sick, allow you to completely ignore physical ailments, and makes you feel "good" most of the time. That's what I meant. Doesn't sound like you're doing that well. heh.

Considering all the shit that's happened in less than two years, I'm pretty glad I'm in a stable place right now. Financially for a while (thanks to saving up for once) until I get a new job, emotionally, mentally, and hopefully I will be physically pretty soon, you know?
I sent you a PM anyway. I'll take any advice given to me. I value others' opinions.

I can't argue that a good outlook on life doesn't help in many aspects.
I'm glad you are doing better girlie. I would offer to do you a seven veil dance when you get completely recovered but first off, I don't want to set you back to day one, my jiggling will probably send you into a fit of mad ass laughter and I don't even think seven veils could cover this body so it would have to be at least a 100 and I don't think I have the energy to complete that task at the moment. Give me some time to have more sore butt days and probably.

Well, I have finally found out what it is that is wrong with me.
I got hit with two immunobombs* at once.
Mononucleosis and the Coxsackie virus.
It was a different strain of mono than the normal virus, so that's why it didn't show up in the original test.
And before you think I'm making the coxsackie virus up (lol DG), here's an excerpt from WebMD about it.
Now I know why my throat had ulcers all down it, and I also know why I feel the need to hibernate.
*Thank you 3DRadio for my new word. Immunobomb.
ALSO!
Since it no longer looks like this, here's my throat for you guys that were wondering what it looks like to have the coxsackie virus.

Looks like the friction burn I have a habit of inflicting upon my female friends.
I hope you get better soon. Really I do. I'm having infections I've never had before. Usually I'm a fucking tank but this year's been real bad, so I know how you're feeling.
And while I'm here...
They write themselves, they really do. I had to force myself to stop after the tenth one...

How did I know you were going to make that second one?
Thankfully, my mouth is back to normal. I'm just glad I didn't have the extra pain of having tonsils. Those were removed ages ago.
EDIT:
Presenting IRC Shenanigans! Topic - My Mouth.
no she has cock and balls virus
coxshackles
something
like that
sorry danni plz don't kill me, but what did you expect me to do? I'm immature.
Looks like that "peniscillin" V3N promised you didn't cut the mustard, eh?
