Will Strep Throat go away on its own?

Starter — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 01:34:47 +0000

I have a sudden sore throat and it is very painful to swallow. I also have a mild fever and can see white spots in the back – top of my mouth. I think it is Strep but can’t be sure. Will it go away on it’s own?

Addicted to Soda!

RiskyShift — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 19:54:59 +0000

I love soda, it is (in my opinion) about the best tasting drink there is. I also love sweet iced tea, but not as much as soda.

I drink about 4-6 soda’s a day and want to cut down or even completely quit soda. I also drink water, OJ, and milk, but none really replace the soda.

What are some healthier things I can reach for instead of soda? I tried “flavored soda water” and it’s sour, I would prefer plain flavorless water over that.

Any ideas?

Can’t get to Sleep!

Every night I feel tired but when I lay down I seem to all of sudden be wide awake. I toss and turn but it seems like I just can’t get comfortable and relax!

After a hour or two I am usually able to fall asleep, but the problem then is I can’t seem to wake up! It’s the exact opposite of when I go to sleep.

My sleep pattern is REALLY messed up because of this… What do I do?

Strange pains in chest and shoulders

Starter — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 09:06:13 +0000

For the past few months I have had brief random pains in various places around my chest. Some pains have also been in my shoulders, and even my arm pits.

The pains are mild and don’t seem to be related to activity or heart burn. If anything they feel kind of like mild cramps.

Anyone have any ideas what it could be?
