Oh Ryn, that sounds horrible. Hope you get some better answers this time.

Ryn. Thinking of you and sending you plenty of get well vibes.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and well-wishes. I'm sorry I didn't update you earlier - I have tonsilitis. For the first time in my life! For years I thought it was awful and you had to lie on the sofa and eat ice-cream all day, because that's what my cousin did when she had it when we were in junior school. But no, I'm working still (can't afford more time off ill, no sick pay) and just having to stop DS throwing his arms around my swollen and painful neck. On the plus side, not only can I not eat much but I'm not hungry, so looks like I'll be able to fit into my clothes again soon! I had been fretting I'd have to buy new stuff because I'm too lazy to diet back to skinny. (Not that I'm fat, not by a long shot, but when your clothes are all 6s and 8s and you suddenly become 10s and 12s it isn't that confortable - on the plus side, my pg clothes were all normal clothes in 10s and 12s so it's not like I was going naked.)

Joking aside, I do feel crap. But what can you do?

Glad you know what it is...tonsillitis sucks! I had it once quite badly... DH didn't understand - 'it's just a sore throat'...nup, much more horrible than that.
Painkillers, rest (as much as you can) and I hope you get better soon

Ryn, so glad it's nothing serious. Horrible, yes, but not serious. I hope you are feeling better really soon and in the meantime everyone cuts you some slack.
