Still in pain.  I think I'm going to make another doctors appointment...this is just hanging on too long and not improving any.  Plus starting to get pain under my right arm as well....I think it might be one of the glands.  Not sure exactly but it's definitely not improving so I shall see if I can get in with someone...this time hopefully at my regular doctors clinic.I've been gargling with salt water....and with a prescription rince that helps numb the throat.  I've been drinking a special herbal tea that's suppose to help sore throats.  I've been taking ibuprofen.  I've been doing my best to get rest and liquids...although the liquids part is difficult consider swallowing feels like my throat is being cut from the inside by a million little pins scraping down it.  I've also been using throat lozenges.  This has been going on almost 2 weeks now.  Mentally today so far I'm feeling okay.  I think the worst of the emotions from yesterdays conversation with my Hematologist have worked themself out and the urges are barely there right now.  I see my counsellor in a couple hours though so we'll see what happens.  Well, time to go do the whole gargle routine so I can get something to eat and take my meds....and I need a shower as well so I better go do that too.
