It doesn't go away does it? This is one tenacious bug. I think I got reinfected at work where it is rife - I was getting over it but went back too soon and straight back into others who have a version of it and I think I got a mutated strain which went bad again very quick. I've ummed and arghed about going to the docs and I wish I could take antibiotics - well I can - septrin which is old fashioned now and apparently made lots of folks ill but always suited me - but the newer drugs now I'm very allergic to some and had to rush to the on call docs last time with swollen lips, eyes, blisters - a really nasty allergic reaction............ its a damn nuisance - but glad if you are getting over it and getting some sleep at last.........
