Title: OWWWWW!!!!

Last Friday I woke up with this huge lump in my throat.  Then last Sunday a bunch of white spots appeared on my tonsils so I went to the doctor and they assumed I had strep throat.  But then yesterday it got progressively worse where the white blotches turned into giant canker sores.   So I went back to the doctor and he said that I had a viral infection that causes ulcers to form on my tonsils and throat cavity.  I can't even swallow my own spit without feeling intense, burning/stinging pain!  He said the infection was caused by stress and was most commonly found in teenagers because of High School.   :bang  :bang  So now I'm stuck at home all week being unable to eat anything at all and being unable to drink water without the special oral gel my doctor prescribed.  I have never been in so much pain in my whole life! :bang  :bang  :bang

Boy, that sucks.  I know what that is like.  I remember when I had strep throat it hurt so much that every time I swallowed, it felt like I was swallowing broken glass. :x  Hope you get well soon.

Ugh. I've had sore throats before that made swalloing food and drink a chore, but you're description sounds truly horrific. I pray for a speedy recovery.

Just something to tell myself when I start to get stressed about high school:

"okay, calm down or you're gonna get what Cyberlizard had!" :lol

Anyways, I'll bet you needed the time off of school if you got big white sores from it.  Ouch! -_-

I'm sorry to hear this Cyber.
While I get tonsillitis time and again I don't remember anything as serious as what you described. Put on scarfs and get well soon. All the best to you.

I've never heard of anything this serious before and its cause (and I'm quite stressed with grad stuff so maybe I ought to be worried).  Get well soon.

It's amazing how many medical conditions like that are caused by stress....
