AKA Strep throat. (if you don't know what that is, click here)
Here's my story.

    Two years ago, I was having a normal life, when I realized I had a sore throat.  I went to the doctor, and they did the culture test.  The 5 minute test came up negative, so we waited, then the overnight test had to, of course, come up positive.  I got amoxicillin, a fairly weak antibiotic, which was supposed to get rid of it.  But –guess what– it didn't.  So I had strep 3 more times all in a row.  And I tell you, it's not fun.  3 more antibiotics, each one stronger than the last.
    So I decided enough is enough, and I got my tonsils removed.  That stopped strep throat from ever coming back.
    Well, for two years.  So here I am, not at school presenting my research project I worked long and hard for, but instead, I am typing this up with a sore, dry throat and no desire for this to happen again.

btw, if you ever end up with this, drink milk.

I have to come up with a purpose for posting on this topic so it doesn't get closed.
Has anyone else had an annoying sickness, or one that randomly came back, like mine?
