This just started last week. I’ve been drinking plenty of water, chewing gum, even drinking hot tea. Any of you have any suggestions? I don’t want to go to the store just buying up stuff that I think will help. We’re in a recession I’m trying to save all I can. And also could the diet be the cause of this? Do some of you have the same problem? I’ve never really had dry throat like this before.
Hey Everyone!
I hope everyone is doing well! It seems like everyone around me is sick. My step daughter was sick for a week and still has a bad cough, hubby was sick for a week (but hubby and DD were both sick off and on for over a month and half) my best friend has pneumonia (i’m pretty sure i spelled that wrong) and she’s in the hospital.
Today I woke up with a bit of a sore throat!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
It’s not bad, but annoying (and only on the right side of my throat), plus I’ve got some sinus drainage. 
I feel great phyiscally, not stuffy, not achy, nothing but the stinking sore throat.
I don’t drink coffee, and I don’t drink hot tea ….. so what can I do?
Salt water garggle? Diet Hot Chocolate? (I have the store bought but have never tried it) (any homemade hot chocolate ideas that are LC friendly?)
I hardly ever get sick, even hubby says it’s like I have a protective bubble around me.
Any suggestions?
I’m looking for some home remedies that WORK for severe sore throat.
Great huh? I woke up this morning with a sore throat….and it has gotton worse thru the day….I just wondered what the rest of you have done for sore throats and colds on this woe….my DH said take a zinc lozenge…yeah right the number one ingredient is Dextrose!
Any suggestions for me to try would be muchly appreciated….I so much don’t want this to get so bad to keep me from losing weight to meet my goal of onederland by the end of the month….and still need to be exercising.
Thanks for any suggestions you can share. Oh by the way I am taking vitamins, extra Vit. C, also taking echinacea which usually keeps me from getting sick…..my son and the twins were sick and this might very well be from being exposed to that
So the New Endo yesterday felt all around my throat and lower neck with her fingers. It didn’t hurt. She then had her nurse practitioner do the same. Then they pronounced that I have an "enlarged thyroid". I’m getting an ultrasound and its not really anything to worry about – probably cause by my HypOthyroidism. The problem? Ever since they touched it I have had an overwhelming AWARENESS of my thryoid gland and even though I have NEVEr felt a thing there before I now feel like there is a giant softball in my throat.
This awareness isn’t going away either.
aargh.
My palms were sweaty, I was slightly sick to my stomach. I felt like the eyes of the world were upon me. As scared as I was, as nervous, and probably as crazy as I am I did it……
As of 4pm this afternoon, I am now Mrs. David Champeau. I still cant believe it lol, and on Halloween to boot!
