Evening confession

[thedahliharpa]

I have a killer sore throat. The usual sea salt water gargle and tea w/ honey isn't helping. I started wondering if gargling my own BM would help and now I'm obsessing. If when you are sick and nursing your body creates antibodies that get passed on to your nursing, right? So couldn't this mean that the cure to my sore throat is in my breasts?
Since it is unlikely I will do this any other remedies are appreciated.

Chug that shit!

Or take a pain killer and go to bed . Sorry! Sore throats are awful. I had a terrible one a couple months back and Tylenol helped a little.

You don't appreciate your ability to swallow until you can't.

:-p

What about a teaspoon of just honey? Might help coat a little better than even tea. Sorry you're feeling awful. Dahli.

I am sitting here watching 9/11 stuff alone. It is a mistake, because I'm making myself sick with grief, but I just seem to turn it off. I need to just change the channel or go in and sleep with Matt and Annabella, but I'm glued. Ugh.

[charlielove]

Um, throat spray? Cough drops? Make your own freezer cough drops with your bm? Spray your bm down your throat?

[katie]

I think it's worth trying, sounds logical to me! Sore throats suck and I've had strep multiple times this year, I would have tried anything. Advil was the only thing that made somewhat of a difference. Hope it goes away soon.

I'm doing the same and it's horrible. Why do I do this to myself? I will never be able to sleep tonight. Let's stop, ok? Come over and we'll have wine! oh wait...nevermind. We'll have tea with honey like dahli:)

thedahliharpa, I hope you feel better soon. Warm salt water helps a little. Or breastmilk. :-)

[charmediamsure]

I really like Strepsils because they re antibacterial and I imagine the bacteria suffering for what they have done to me.

That's really shitty though, I'm sorry. I had a sore throat last week and was convinced I was getting sick and then the next day it was gone. I hope yours is just a random drive by sore throat as well.

I would love nothing more than to do this, wine or tea!! We can cry together without judgment. Salt water is a good one, I forgot about that. My grandmom recommends pickle juice for a sore throat. I have never tested this theory because it seems a little off base. But if you're desperate?

That's a good suggestion.

I'm sorry : - (. It's so awful. I've had to limit myself to radio coverage. Give your family a big hug and try to get some rest mama.

Sounds like a whole enterprise. Perhaps the answer to my career woes lies within my ducts!

[heyjojo]

Grapefruit seed extract! Put like 10 drops in water and gargle that shit!

I don't know, I might try it.

I was waiting for you and a little throwing up emoticon :-).

I'm not good at being sick. I've almost reached my classic line that DH can't stand, "I can't live like this". I know it's OTT!

I will look for them, thanks!

I feel like this could quickly become a game to
See what you all could get me to gargle. :-)

I haaaate sore throats. They are the worst. I might be desperate enough to gargle someone else's breastmilk.

Just say the word?

[carawestt]

I'd try it if nothing else worked! It's worth a shot.

Has your H offered you penis juice yet?

CH! And wow nothing sounds more painful than a BJ right now.

[fusion]

I would do it! Normally I do a raw honey, cayenne pepper, hot water, and rum drink.

I appreciate the tip but that sounds almost as painful as a blowie! Orrr a good excuse to drink rum. I'm torn.

[skwcm80]

It's worth a shot. I used mine for a bout of Pinkeye, cleared it right up.

[helicase]

I may be too late and the BM drinking may have already happened. But(!) the antibodies in your BM should already be coursing through your body. Drinking the milk wouldn't do anything new. Hope you feel better soon.

This makes sense! I didn't do it but was regretting it because it has not improved.
