Does deep oral sex help with Strep?

I think we decided in furryfury's thread that oral is good for the throat?

 

[Chicklet]

so i finally decided that the pain just wasn't worth waiting out, and went to find a clinic. without health insurance, they took $100 for my look-over. five minutes later i'd been swabbed for strept throat and given a perscription for amoxil (sorry i can't spell it) that set me back another $30. i'm poor. that's all of my savings. as soon as i'd taken one of the amoxil the doc calls and says i tested negative for strept. he thinks i have mono. so i gotta go pay another $50 for a blood test in the morning. >< so far i'm pretty much counting on missing a week of work, plus i have to travel to california for the holidays and miss five more days of work, and i don't get another paycheck before rent's due. and i'm totally broke. the blood test'll have to go on a credit card. i think that the new year will ring in the search for a new job. boo.

Uh oh!

*HUGS*

I'm so sorry!

At least with strep it can be done and over within 24 hours and you can get back to life.

Now with mono you should be feeling exhausted for a long time. Have you been? I had this once when I was in highschool and it really screwed me up for at least a month, maybe longer.

I hope your holidays get better, MUCH better and very quickly!

Now see,my doctor has this neat new swab thing. She swabs you and then RIGHT THERE she puts it in this thing and adds a drop of some stuff and mashes it a bit and one line is viral and two lines is infection. That is so cool, and saves money on such things. If the clinic had it they would have known you didn't have strep.
Of course they only got it after this rash of sore throats hit here and most of them were viral. I had one strep, one viral.
Can you go on disability? I have it set up so that if I get mono or another disability I still get $1200 a months for 3 years. But that's private...
Don't they have short term disability in your state? Or at your job?
That is truly awful Ckicklet, and I feel so bad for you.
I'll be thinking of you sweetie.

You paid WHAT? Their's a nurse practioner on martin luther king blvd who only charges $35 for a visit, and then will give you a voucher for the meds if you can't afford it. Did you call safenet?

FYI for anything medical call 1 800 SAFENET (this won't work for people who don't live in the portland area- fyi). It's a hotline that will give you the names, numbers, and PRICES of any clinic in the area.

Hmmmm, well I need to vent, rant, blow off steam...though not as much as last night. As some might know, we have been playing with others from time to time, having fun, exploring new frontiers etc. We are now open to including another Dominant if and when we find ones that pass F's inspection and alert radar. There has been one we had emailed with a couple of times, and who had said he wanted to chat, but as F is away on work again, it has been difficult to arrange. Last night I was online and he popped up wanting to talk.....at which point I explained it was me and F had gone to bed but I would let him know he had tried to connect with him. That was meant to be as I had made clear to him before in email, a message that I don't talk to Dominants, F does. That message was not received, or rather ignored I expect.

Being a good little slave , I though OK, give him some small chit chat and then make polite excuses to go. He launches straight into what he intends to do to me in a first session, including a minimum of an hour of physical 'punishment' as in whipping. By now I was getting to the point that I was thinking 'fake BS artist and dangerous', and as I can never resist satisfying my curiosity I asked why I would need punishing (given he doesn't know me from Eve). His response was all slaves need to be punished severly. Hmm, now my BS meter was buzzing loudly in my brain so I began a conversation about safe sex practices...

Moi: "Do you practice safe sex?"
Twit: "Oh yes, always...it's necessary."
Moi: "What is your idea of safe sex though, what do you do?"(always my favourite question as so many have no idea about safe sex and the risks)
Twit: "Always wear a condom for anal."
Moi : "Why?"
Twit: "It's cleaner" (why didn't this response surprise me?!!)
Moi : "And you use a condom for anything else?"
Twit: "Oh no, we don't need to bother with that.....I won't come inside you so you can feel safe."
Moi : "You are aware how you get STD's? You do know you can get some from oral?"
Twit: "Not unless you come....it is safe to do anything without a condom, especially with a pretty mouth...and vaginal is never a problem...I won't come, OK?"
Moi : "Well no, it is not OK as we believe in using condoms if sex is ever involved."
Twit : "I can see I will need to discuss this with Francisco."
Moi: "So it is a problem for you to use condoms?"
Twit: "I will talk to him about it, I can't see why this should spoil anything."
Moi : "He will definately be interested in discussing this and other limits with you."
Twit: "Good, I'm sure we can come to an understanding."

LOL, well I sent F the conversation in an email....good breakfast fodder, huh? I decided to not add my comments or thoughts (hmmm, I am trying to be good, I am really). Woke to an email from F saying he thought he was a wanker, rude, ignorant, high risk and no longer in consideration and will receive an email telling him we have decided not to continue with him. Sheesh, I know there are some nerds out there, but this one takes the cake....this was only a small bit of the crap he let loose.

So yesterday I had to run up to the bank. K had the ATM card, so I had to go in, and take the kids. They were quietly playing over in this area they ahve set up for kids. They weren't being loud, bumping into people or anyting. Then I got some quarter and called them over so they could get some candy. This guy behind me says 'Excuse me but could you control your kids, they're bugging me'. I turned around and said "And how is that my problem? Mind your own fucking business." So he said h was minding his business. I said 'Oh, my god, I am so sorry. You had to go into public and deal with people! The horror! You poor thing.' Then this lady next to me said 'It's not the people that's bugging us, it's your kids.' I told her tough shit and let it drop cause we were making the tellers (who are very nice) uncomfortable.

So you all are gonna hear it. . .

Children aren't people? BEcause they're small,w hat are they . .. ants? I dont' fucking care, my kids were being great. If this small thng is gonna gut them, then they need to get a fucking life. and for GODS SAKE dont' go anywhere else. You might have to deal with a child who's really being a brat. Like a screaming, fit throwing, two year old.

God I'm sick of people treating my kids like they'r second class citizens cause they're small. They are fucking people and they deserve the same resepct you'd show anyone. That means saying 'excuse me', and 'thank you', and 'please' when you fucking talk to them. If you can't be polite to them, THEN STAY AWAY FROM THEM.

Fuckers.

I can't believe that he would actually think you can only get an STD from cumming. What an idiot, and how much you wanna bet he's got something.

[blue kat]

**huggin' on Chicklet** Sorry to hear that... Mono sucks major, with or without the tonsils! Get lots of sleep if you can, because it takes a lot out of you. Yes, this is the voice of experience talking! I also drank a lot of chicken soup, because I needed to eat and keep hydrated and I so didn't want to eat!

I'd come to see you, if I lived closer. The end I want can't give me mono.

at least the doctor told me it's not too contageous to go back to work. He said pretty much as long as I wash my hands (duh, I'm a cook, I wash them 30,000,000 times a day) everyone around me will be fine.

But no contact sports for a month, or my spleen might implode. Sorry DVS

My God! You're gonna be one horny woman, after a month. That flight to Oregon is sounding VERY tempting.

I would love to have you naked and hands tied behind you, on that first night you could have....um contact sports. Just think of how I could get you to satisfy me in so many ways, before I'd finally let you cum. Talk about a captive audience!

Now I've got a sore throat and a fever and all that shit.
It better not be viral.
I called yesterday and they wouldn't see me cause I'd only had it for 14 hours, not 24.
Never mind the fact that my throat is so sore that it woke me upoat 3 fucking AM.
And on the last day with my students, too.
Well, at least they enjoyed the party.

I'm sorry this happened to you and your kids beautiful Graceanne. Here in the friendly South I never got that. I see actual brats all the time and no body says anything though they might laugh or give the parents a sympathetic "boy I'm glad I'm not you" look.

Well behaved kids get smiles and in many cases too much kind attention.

I don't know what's the deal with the folks around you. It's not their business regardless. Everywhere you go these days there are kids. Even at adult only events there are often kids.

Recently our neighborhood was talking about having a party for the holidays and it was supposed to be adult only. What? Like our neighborhood isn't just chuck full of kids? Then I looked at where the party was. This couple don't have kids or even a pet, ah, no wondered. Bitter uptight people often want to separate kids from the holidays and parties, that's sad. Anyway, the party was canceled probably due to the lack of enthusiasm.

That's not to say adult parties don't have their place because they do. Most don't want to have to find sitters for a neighborhood party however. Geez.

Too bad adult doctors don't seem to think it's important to see their clients in a timely manner the way pediatricians do.

It's the flu. Fever, weakness, everything. I'm sitting in bed as I rant.

I have got the flu shot three years, and in two of them I got the flu.
Apparently you can have a really bad sore throat with the flu, it's just not common.
He gave me Tylenol 2's.

On the other hand it is kind of neat to get the strep test results immediately.
I was sitting there thinking "please let the pink line be strep," but it wasn't. I can't remember - either it's a blue line or two lines is strep.

And I got my sister's discount on the homeopathic stuff I buy at her store, even though she wasn't there, cause the cashier knew me, so I saved $25. That technically isn't allowed unless you are buying things for her and she is too sick to come in, but they all like me there. He knew something was up because I was all morose.

Flu on Christmas Eve. This tre-la sucks.
It's a good thing I didn't commit to doing anything at the Christmas services.

I know it's mean, but I accidentally coughed in his face when he swabbed me and I kind of hope he gets it. Not really though. The one who should really get it is the one who wouldn't let me go in yesterday because I hadn't had it for 24 hours yet. What was I supposed to do, wait until 3 am and call then?"It's been 24 hours now."
In my opinion, any sore throat that makes drooling a more attractive option than swallowing should be seen immediately.

Graceanne, I heard that also and seen it also. Many people I know who get the shot end up sicker. One girl got pneumoinia (sp?).
