t h e m a y f i l e s is foremost a family blog, chronicling everyday life. Life including natural, healthy eating (with recipes thrown in at random), home educating (with ideas popping up sporadically), an attempt to homestead on .2 acres (with very meager yields), raising 3 of 4 children with a rare genetic disorder, and lots of highly personal family triumphs and failures. You may also find an eclectic array of musings on politics, exercise, sewing, emergency preparedness, backyard chickens, and religion. This blog isn't a campaign to glorify anyone or anything. Just simply a record.

What you Learn When you Have Strep Throat for 5 Days and Counting...

Every swallow actually takes two.  One to swallow the liquid, the next for that minuscule amount left in the back of your throat.

That is seriously meaningful.

Strep tests can be wrong.  Mine was on Tuesday.

That is seriously meaningful.

"Magic Mouthwash"  means nothing.  Even when the Dr. promises miracles.

I do not recommend the "Strep Throat Diet."    Not a fantastic way to lose almost 10 lbs in 5 days.

I TOTALLY know how you feel!! I just suffered from a vicious sore throat "virus" the past 2 weeks and I HATED it. I actually wished I had strep throat so I could get a good antibiotic. But swallowing really WAS torture and everything was miserable. I hope you feel better soon!!!

have you tried colloidal silver? I use it as a gargle, and love it. I brew my own.
