Woe is me.

Oh I'm ill and I hate it. I have pharingitis yet again. Last time I had it I lost my voice completely and needed antibiotics to clear it up. I resist antibiotics till the pain becomes unbearable which should tell you something about how bad it was!
This bout hasn't been as bad but I'm still feeling sorry for myself. I don't take fever reducing medication as a fever actually helps the body destroy its microbial invader. It also stimulates an inflammatory response, which sends all kinds of substances to the area of infection to protect the area, prevent the spread of the invader, and start the healing process so for the last few nights I feel as though I've been sleeping in a swimming pool.
So I've been nursing myself with lovely home made soup, honey and lemon, propolise tincture which is fab for just about anything and last but by no means least colloidal silver
Finally I'm starting to feel a bit better but any excuse to rest is always good so I might just make the most of it.
