so sorry you ve been sick for so long nowheretorun! being sick can be nice when its just a 'little' sick and you can curl up at home with someone to take care of you but otherwise it just plain sucks.
im glad you can see the 'sunny side' though. i lit some candles this evening and turned out the lights and listened to some soothing, calming music. so theraputic. another early night and im sure i ll be feeling even better tomorrow.
i hope you get better soon too! can you see a doc for some anti biotics or something? im not sure what strepthroat is but for sore throats strepsils can be great. also lemsip or just salt and warm water (gargle - dont swallow cos it tastes even worse if you do!) or hot honey and lemon.
good luck and take care of yourself.
