I went in for strep throat which I get about 3 times a year because of taking an immune suppressant. 2 out of the 3 times it goes away on it's own within 2 days (it never gets off the ground). The other 1 time it needs an antibiotic and it's gone with 24 hours. Every single time, 20+ cases, this is what it does.
If I DON'T take the antibiotic the strep throat keeps getting more and more severe until I can't sleep because of pure fire throat, open puss sores and it spreds to my ears, head and eyes. The last time I let it do this I went full deaf in one ear and 80% deaf in the other. It took two months for that to go away. Also it takes about a month + half for the strep to go away.
I've NEVER had hives. The last time I can remember feeling like this was with chicken pox, and I've never been able to remember that fully until now.
Day 1 after the throat swab my always dry strep throat turned into a fever of 103 and a runny nose that fully blocked the nose. Day 2 I had full body hives. The itching was so bad I had to wear gloves and socks to stimulate the hands and feet from needing CONSTANT scratching so I could go to sleep.
Right now I can barely type because I'm about to freak out with the itching demand and throw something.
I FUCKING HATE OUR MEDICAL SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THEY NEVER GAVE ME THE ANTI BIOTIC! I HAD TO USE MY LAST REMAINING SPARE!
