Yeah. I would be a tad irritable too. Snap to it docs and figure it out!
That has got to be very frustrating and scary.
Keep us updated on this. I hope all goes well with the x-rays, etc.
You've had a sore throat for a MONTH?? That sucks :( Even the ENT couldn't figure it out? Where can you go from there? I'll ask around and see if I can scrounge up options for you. Good luck.
Oh my. That doesn't sounds even a little bit fun.
Do I hope you feel better soon? Affirmative. :-)
I hope they figure it out soon--what a bummer. Is it possible it could be allergies?
Being annoyed about an undiagnosed ailment does not count as whining.
