The internet is a dangerous thing! I started researching low blood cell counts and mono symptoms and of course I get some really scary things.
Since everything was normal, my doc thinks that I got a cold virus or something similar right as I was fighting off something else, so it took up residence in my throat. Now its just a really really bad post nasal drip. My throat is still bright red, but my lymph nodes are slowly shrinking. Now I'm trying to kick the butt of this virus. I went to the gym on Thursday and mostly did strength training and a bit of cardio. I could feel that I'm definitely not at the top of my game. Yesterday I went for a run and was very tired from it.
Last night, we went to the Boston fireworks down by the Charles. After seeing 4 busses and T trains packed to the brim, we decided ot walk home. I could feel that, sadly. I definitely have to get back in shape and fight this stupid virus.

I should create an iphone app called "hypohconidra" where you type in a symptom and the app will return all the possible diseases that you could have. The Internet is wonderful, but it's terrible at the same time. Way too easy to worked up about nothing.
I had a low white cell count 3 months ago....didn't even want to know what the possible causes were. I get it tested again next week.
Fireworks in Boston...awesome. We're on the other side of the country, so we saw fireworks on the San Francisco Bay. A great experience.....my family had a blast.
