Okay I will admit I don’t recall the last time my raw gorilla gonads (aka tonsils) have had pus on them. But you know what? The pus must come off. Really why can’t it just stay there? These plaques of pus I am now referring to as shingles.
Yes those rough scratchy pieces of tarry sand that you staple to the roof of your house to keep the elements out. Yes this is indeed a good analogy. It’s working for me. Unlike my immune system, as I now have these teeny tiny scratchy shingles in the roof of my mouth and attached to my gorilla gonads that slow my passing of food elements to my stomach. See perfect analogy. Yes, no?
Only I must have had a bad, bad contractor install them as now they are ripping of in the gusty storms (aka my coughing).
What do I find that rips off the shingles the best? Why a blizzard of course! Yes a Dairy Queen Oreo blizzard appears to be doing the best trick of applying the appropriate scraping action along with a relieving cooling action. Bet they never thought of writing a commercial for that!
I can see it now. They start with a gorilla beating his chest and a zoo attendant not able to keep him calm. The announcer then asks, "Know how to cool those raw gorilla gonads with shingles stapled onto them? Oreo blizzard is how. Tame the wild beast and try one today." And then they pan to a gorilla sleeping soundly with holding the long red plastic Dairy Queen spoon and the zoo attendant holding an empty blizzard cup.
I so should have gone into marketing! Okay maybe not, but I also so do not want to ever endure this again. This is the second major sore throat episode I have had this year and it’s only May! The previous one taking me out for 15 days and this one is on course to be about the same.
The more and more I read about Enbrel and methotrexate the more and more I see "sore throat" listed as a side effect. Now that doesn’t sound so bad, but put a label on there that says possible side effects: spitting shingles once every hour and I would have to scratch my head and go do I really want to do that?
LOL I have heard of spitting tacks but shingles? If I wake up to spit another shingle tonight I’ll be spitting tacks too!

Oh Smith! You poor thing! I really think you should try to market that commercial to DQ LOL
Seriously though, I hope you feel better soon!

My husband is a foreman roofer in Minneapolis, maybe he can help you with your shingles....jk.
On a serious note, I was gonna ask you if you were feeling better and I just got my answer. I feel so bad for you. But you still seem to be so upbeat and hilarious through all of this.
GET WELL SOON!
