    Dear Big fat comedian in the sky
    I am glad you are getting such a kick out of my tribulations. Today my DH is coming home from the hospital immunosuppressed, and I have a sore throat? Yes, I looked up side effects of flu shots, and this isn't one of them. Ironically I am even taking antibiotics for another ridiculous issue, but the sore throat (yes, it's red, thank you) is still a sore throat.
    What next? a plague of locusts?
    Thanks for thinking of me

    Time for a warm salt water gargle? Or two? Or three? Sore throats are the worst!

    I actually find that a neti pot helps with sore throat ...

    Hope things clear up, Mimi!

    Dear buzzy stinging insect,

    Thanks for keeping me up all night. I especially appreciated waking up with a fat lip at 5:30 am. My dog was happy too, as he loves getting his first walk at daybreak, while I prefer to get out of bed at a sane hour.

    I am not a happy camper this morning!

    Oooo absolutely, especially if it's a post-nasal drip sore throat!

    Oh Mimi - that sucks I'm sorry.

    I will say - I've had repeated sore throats immediately following flu shots (too many times that it's not possible I was just getting sick each time). Hopefully it's just that or allergies of some form....

    it's not the sore throat i'm worried about, it's the possibility of giving it to DH!!!
