Functional illness

[Fruitacious B]

Now I'm not one to come down with anything very often. The occasional cough that usually doesn't slow me down or prevent me from going to school is about the extent of it. Not anymore, I'm sitting at my computer right now without the ability to swallow without a stinging pain gripping my throat and head. On top of that, there are little cold sores under my tongue that bug me even more than my throat. This "sickness" is by far one of the most annoying things that I've ever had. I'm too bad to go to school, but not too bad to just sit in my bed all day long. Yes, this would normally be a good thing, because it should just be like a vacation day, but it's not, because I still feel like shit. Sprite is my only true friend right now. I'm told that this "functional" illness is going around, so for those of you that have experienced it, you know how I feel. When I speak, I sound like Barry White under water.

There is one upside besides not being at school, and Professer Number, please don't shit yourself about this. I'm taking Coricidin, but as instructed, for my illness. It clears up my nose damn well, and I'm blessed with a very 60's esque medicine head trip. I've been rocking out to Coldplay and the Doors with the lights turned really low all day. All while watching the bubbles in my bottle of Sprite rise up the inside walls of the bottle. Fun stuff, but nonetheless, Sickness Sucks.

Sickness does suck indeed Fruit. I try to take care of myself so I stay some assemblance of healthy.

Sounds like it may be streph throat. If it doesn't clear up within the next few days that is probably the case (let's hope not). However one question still remains, which hopefully will lighten your mood, who were you sleeping with to get the cold sores?

[Fruitacious B]

Before I respond, curious question. Is there a diference between cold sores and cancor sores?

[VOL]

Yes. Cancor is on the gums. Cold sores are on the lips.

[Fruitacious B]

ohh, okay. Well then, I've never had cold sores, I've just been calling cancor sores cold sores my entire life. I've got cancor sores under my tongue, and it sucks ass.

[VOL]

I'm still trying to figure out how you got them. In all honesty, I think that cancor sores are not caused by the herpes virus like cold sores. They usually occur from gum infections. This is an odd diagnosis.

[Pliedes]

Vol is giving medical advice. I just wanted to point that out.

[VOL]

I know a thing or two. And I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

[silver and cold]

Im sorry Fruit!
You seemed fine yesterday!Hm..maybe it was what you ate..

[Mr. Blonde]

Holiday Inn Express comment = funny

I've always thought that cancor sores start because of bacteria or germs in your mouth. It kinda makes sense, i dont know about you guys but sometimes i get them w/o being sick, they just show up. Don't tongue those sons of bitches

I don't know about you, but we don't tongue anyone's sons.

Not funny.

Silver, if this illness has anything to do with what I ate yesterday, I'm holding you directly responsible.

[StabMaster Arson]

so, let's break this down without the double talk... apparently, yesterday fruit ate silver out and now he has sores under his tongue. It's to be expected, really.

you've got to remember that it's still possible to spread herpes even if she's not broken out.

Not quite like that..sorry.

I didn't make your food though, Fruit, I only mopped the floor, remember?Plus the worst I would have done was given you free shit!

[BarryJive]

...the best thing to do for cancor sores is to take vitamins...cancor sores can be caused by an imbalanced diet (there stomach acid involved too methinks) but when i get'em i just take some vitamins and they go away.

[Fruitacious B]

Still ill today, now theres a sore similar to the one under my tongue on the back of my throat. Not too far from that dangly thing that I don't remember the name of.

BarryJive. The best thing to take for cancor sores is L-Lysine, it goes right after those sonsofbitches and usually eliminates them in a couple of days.

Silver, I know you didn't make my food, but you still work there, so you'll be the first to die if this was Arby's fault.

Stab, no.

[VOL]

This is starting to sound serious Fruit.

[silver and cold]

Well I have to say you looked okay, when I saw you today. But you did sound kinda bad...If it was Arbys food, onto and I would probably be sick too, so I'm sure we can count that one out.

[VOL]

unless his food was intentionally harmed.

[Fruitacious B]

Which would be reasonable, she's probably trying to eliminate me so that she'll stand a chance with the new contest.

I don't think it's too serious, I probably just need an antibiotic or something. I haven't been going to school so that I don't spread it to other people. That, and I just don't want to be there. I'm not even sure if I'm going to go tomorrow either. I think I'm just going to milk this a bit, and set up a doctor's appointment for tomorrow.

[VOL]

Perhaps the food Silver served you was her submission for the contest.

[Jewbie]

Canker sores are actually mouth ulcers (aphthous stomatitis). There can be many different causes for canker sores. One is sodium laryl sulfate which can be found in a plethora of toothpaste. Mouth trama is another. A lack in iron and b vitamins can have an effect, and so can food allergies. Some herble remedies include: deglycyrrhizinated licorice or DGL, echinacea, chamomile, aloe vera juice, and myrrh extract to name a few. But probably the easiest is to go to the doctor...cause even though i am Jewish and most of us are doctors or something like that...I can't write prescriptions...DAMN
