[QUOTE=Mizzy;28043523]I did at first but I cancelled because I felt much better. Much better is still pretty bad though.
I spent Valentines day cuddling with a tissue box and trying to ignore all the happy couples in my house. I probably look as terrible as I feel :saddowns:[/QUOTE]
You made another appointment again? I'd strongly suggest it. I'm actually starting to feel a LOT better now. Throat still feels slightly sore but it's no where near as bad as it has been on previous days.
Only got like 7 more tablets to go through (already taken 13).

My throat doesn't really hurt as much anymore. I can talk, breathe, eat and drink. I also had a slight fever but it went away and now my nose is just runny and I'm just generally weak.
But it's an improvement.
I never get sick, I don't think I have had a day off school in 2 years due to illness.

Like 3 or 4 days into my illness (before I went to the doctors) my throat started feeling better like 3 hours after I woke up, then at night time it'd start feeling really shitty again.
Hopefully you are getting better and that doesn't happen to you, but if it does... just go to the doctors.
I find it funny how this Thread has two chats going on at once. One about Drop bears and the other one about hurt throats and knees.
The drop bear one sounds more interesting.
I wish there were more drop bear stories, I haven't heard about one for years.
Drop bears are carnivorous, tree-dwelling marsupials found throughout Australia. Their preferred dwelling is eucalyptus trees or gum trees.
They are related to koala bears, though larger and equipped with sharp teeth and razor-like claws. Sometimes people refer to
them as the koala bear's evil twin. Drop bears prefer to feed at night. They wait in trees and then drop down on top of their prey, usually
instantly knocking it unconscious. They will then proceed to devour it. They will quite readily attack creatures larger than themselves, including humans.
The only known way to deter a drop bear is to spread toothpaste or Vegemite behind your ears and on your neck. It also makes sense not to pitch your
tent beneath a tree that contains a drop bear. A good way to find out if a drop bear is in a tree is to lie down beneath the tree and spit upwards. If a
drop bear is sleeping up there, it will wake up and spit back. Australians are known for going to great lengths to make sure that backpacking tourists
are aware of the dangers posed by drop bears. Young children attending camp are also frequently warned of this threat to their safety.

Drop bears are smarter than you think, and display some interesting characteristics. One thing for sure is that there are things you can do to avoid the threat of drop bears when visiting Australia. Here are our ten most recommended tips:
- 1. Avoid drop bear prone areas - Check the danger areas and avoid walking under tall trees
- 2. Try to avoid speaking in languages apart from English - A drop bear can detect foreign languages and will target the origin of such sounds
- 3. Use the Aussie Lingo - Words like sheila and crikey will fool your average drop bear
- 4. Smear vegemite on your armpits - We think this one is a bit of a myth, however many swear by it, so if you want to make sure you don't get flattened by a hairy meat sack, then you may want to go to such extremes
- 5. Hop on one leg - This is an interesting one. We thing that the drop bear will mistake you for a Kangaroo and leave you alone if they hear hopping. It is not fool proof but a good one to excersize, especially if you hear the rustling of potential drop bear activity
- 6. Keep Moving - when you move around it is very hard for a bear to follow you up in the trees. If you stay in one place say for a picnic, the drop bear has the chance to edge forward towards you location
- 7. Wear a broad brimmed hat - Wearing a large hat increases the viewable area of your body to a drop bear looking down from above. We have found that large hats tend to scare off some of the less agressive drop bears.
- 8. Sing a song - (preferably Australian - see number 2 and 3) Drop bears are known to be very musical creatures and appreciate a good song.
- 9. Don't declare liberal political views out loud - Drop bears are highly left wing politically and don't like hearing the other side of the story
- 10. Don't act scared - Seriously, drop bears can smell fear a mile off. Be cautious but confident walking around the Australian bush. Don't let them see the terror in your eyes.

Also, drop bear information must be added to OP.
Number 9 is wrong, it should be conservative instead of liberal / right wing instead of left wing
