My throat hurt so [censored] bad they had to prescribe me codene and vicodin just so I could take down fluids.

It was probably the worst week of my life.

I was put on prednisone, an adrenocortical steroid. I also waited about a week after feeling sick before seeing a doctor. First one I saw put me on antibiotics in case of strep. A day later I felt more exhausted than I've ever felt and the test came back negative. This was over 4th of July weekend so I drove back home. That night my dad had to drive me to the doctor because I couldn't swallow fluids at all and pretty much wanted to die. About two days later I felt fine. Thank you, steroids!
