Sick, sick, sick

I have decided ibuprofen is a wonder drug.
Why, you may ask? because it makes everything okay.
I have been stricken with strep throat (yes, I did say stricken--call me a drama queen, but I really felt like poop.) for the last two days. This is the only time in my life I have ever had it, so I'm sure I have had it worse than anyone else ever has. Besides having a throat that feels like you are swallowing shards of glass, I also have glands the size of golf balls protruding from my neck, making me look like a monster from a horror movie. (Ok, maybe they're not really the size of golf balls, but they feel like it.)
Anyway, I got up again this morning feeling yucky (did I mention my head has had a small tribe of bongo players in it?) with a screaming headache, sore throat and massive glands. (Yes you better call the WAH-mbulance) My saintly husband had bought me some liquid-filled gel caps of ibuprofen the night before, so I decided I would give it a try. (I mean even if it killed me, I would only feel better, right?)(I know, totally overdramatic.) Unbelievably, a half hour later I was feeling like a human being again, albeit a sick one, but not a horrible feeling sick one.
Not only did it get rid of headache, fever and somewhat releive my throat, but even my feet feel better!
I'm thinking about buying it in bulk now. If it gets rid of all pains, maybe it will get rid of that annoying neighbor!
