OW! It feels like someone shoved a red hot poker down my throat!?

It started on Thursday as a sore throat then progressed to pain down thru my chest like I've breathed fire. My ears are kind of sore but it's more from my throat down into my chest. I was having a cough yesterday, but I can't cough today as it's too painful.

Is there something going around and should I go to the doctor? I don't have insurance and there isn't a minute clinic in town. I have to go to work tonight, so what's your suggestion?

    If you have a fever please don't go to work where you will expose others! I am just recovering from the crud that is going around and you have described the first stage. It can turn into pneumonia very rapidly. I mostly kept hot liquids going down which seemed to soothe my throat. As the days went on it progressed to an upper respiratory problem and my nose and sinuses are very painful. And of course the deep cough continues. This is a disease that can be extremely serious for the elderly, for babies and for those whose health is already compromised. Please don't spread it further!

    Well, in my opinion, The Beatles and Stones are madly overrated. I'm not saying I don't like them, just that they weren't the greatest bands ever. The Who had amazing talent, they were never really shoved down my throat but they still aren't the greatest thing ever. America always seems to choose the worst thing and make them seem amazing, making plenty of pre-teen girls and many other people love them. That's the stuff that's been forced down our throats for too long. And by the way Lizzy, I agree with Vicky. There is plenty of talent these days, just nothing that's shown on MTV or played on pop stations is very talented at all. EDIT- Modern bands with talent: In Flames The Strokes Rage Against the Machine Tool A Perfect Circle All That Remains Apocalyptica Arch Enemy At The Gates Between the Buried and Me Black Label Society Black Tide Cavalera Conspiracy Soulfly Children Of Bodom The Haunted Evile Warbringer The Dillinger Escape Plan I really could just keep going with this.

    Every one says that for losing weight one must burn more calories then one eats.

    All focus on either eating less or burning more. Strangely enough when u eat less ur body heats up initially. After some time there is no energy in the body. So people says eating less is not the final solution. One must eat less but do more exercises. When a person exerts more than he is used to in recent past he gets tired. The result he will rest more or eat more.

    So what is the solution. Those who have seen titanic, would remember that man woman body in touch produces lot of heat. That means it burns lot of calories. A cold a person burns more calories.

    Then u have some people who say that sex act burns lot of calories. But that tires out a person. There is a limit to that as well. Physically as well as emotionally.

    Now start thinking - is it just the sex act that produces hear. I do not think so. Even body contact produces lot of heat. That is not tiring physically of emotionally.

    It could be emotionally. But I wonder whether it has to be body touch by other sex or could be even contact with the person of same sex.

    May be the heat is generated even when ur own body touches other parts of the body.

    I think that is true.

    So to burn more calories one may try sleeping without putting on clothes. Wearing pants or shirts may cause the body parts not touching other body part.

    By when u are not wearing anything but are safe under suitable mattresses or quilts ur body parts are in touch. When u are sleeping u can burn more calories.

    That will teach u to master ur body better over a period of time.

    U can eat what u feel like and burn those excess calories without tiring urself. May be u are fresh and more energetic in the morning when u get up to burn more calories.

    Try honey and lemon, or warm tea to soothe your throat. Also get a Vicks humidifier this will help. You could also try tylenol liquid severe with soothing throat, or theraflu. If your symptoms don't go away then you may need to go to the doctor because you could have strep.
