I know I can do this. Here is it 3:00 AM and I woke up this morning to horrible throat pain. I have only had one week of treatment. This is not sounding very well. It hurts to swallow and just plain hurts. It happened overnight also. Anyway, I thanks for all your encouragment. I see my Dr. on Tuesday so I think I will be asking for some pain meds. I do have darvocet, but I want something stronger so I can sleep through this whole thing.
