You cannot make this stuff up

[tlvop]

Good news: I do not have strep throat!

But what, you say? (Those of you who heard me complaining about the dime-to-quarter sized white spot, at least.)

Bad news: I have a CANKER SORE. IN MY THROAT.

This is nothing to worry about! I have antivirals and pain meds and it's raw but not bad but ...what. Is this possible!!! I mean, cankers are for gums!

:O!

Oof. I have had those at the way back of my mouth, though not quite in the throat. That's a heck of a big one, though.

No fun at ALL.

Well. I sang for a long time this weekend, which probably spread it? by making more skin raw and prone to infection?

Also, I am taking antiinflamatories for my joints already so the pain is not painful! It is just vaguely...honestly, it's like the mildest sore throat I've had. Like on those days where you (or I) drink too many sodapops because you (well, I) am pulling an all-nighter writing an essay or whatevs and the acid goes BUUUUURN and you (you--I--get the drill) go ): my throat is tender!

But ):!!! I am sad you have had t have them. I do not know if it is officially my throat. She was spinning words at me. The doctor, I mean. But it is right next to the...uvula? dangly thing. *snugs*

Uvula, yeah. And I've had them back there. Pleh!

I get canker sores fairly often -- pretty much any time I accidentally bite the inside of my cheek, and other than that just once in a while they pop up. And yeah, they aren't bad, just... really really annoying. And then they go away. Is my experience.

Stupid things.

Clearly your mouth is full of bad viri.

I recommend ninjas.

..........

I second the ninja recommendation. Really. Whaaaaaaa?

I am a freak of nature! It is an enjoyable thing! Also good on resumes.

Also, is not my throat, is apparently the very back of my soft ...pallette? palet? anyways, that thing, next to my uvula. but they've give me lidocaine that I am supposed to swallow (!!!) so I am very...out of it/ And I have a paper due tomorrow! Oh noes! Oh well. Also lab in half an hour. ahahahahahhaa.

1) palate. (You know what's amusing? The fact that my sosc professor, who's French and speaks with a distinct French accent, has much better spelling and grammar than anyone he teaches. Why? Because he has a BA in English grammar. o.o)

2) ...poor dear. *snugs* You're making sense, though. Bet you could write it on autopilot and still do well, because you are AWESOME. With AWESOMENESS. Of AWESOME THINGUMS.

I had to do a lab with a high fever once. It was a bio lab. Identifying leaves. I think I started making stuff up because they all looked the same.

Eh. The back of my throat is cobblestoned generally, because I have post nasal drip, so weird stuff with my throat is nothing special to me. It's like a semi-permanent sore throat.

Specifically canker-wise, though, there was a time in an airplane when I managed to mostly swallow part of a toothpick. I though it was lodged in the back of my throat for the longest of time (the rest of the cross-pacific flight) until we landed in Hong Kong, and they checked it out in the airport. Some anesthetic and a tongue depressor later, they concluded that it wasn't stuck there anymore, but rather I had finished swallowing it (they told me not to worry?). What was there were a few cuts from the toothpick, which weren't friendly, especially since I have post nasal drip.

It felt a lot like what you are describing - a very mild sore throat. Of course, you managed to avoid thinking that you were going to die before touching down or something.

It should go away pretty soon, assuming you aren't stressed... Oh wait.

Best of luck with it.
