Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2007Purrs Needed
I woke up sick two weeks ago today, nearly got over it by last weekend but am having a relapse now - throat is very sore and glands in face and neck are swelled up hard. No idea what this is (no fever).... never had anything like it before. Walking a few blocks whacks me out - maybe weakness comes from being unable to eat or sleep much due to pain. A persistent dry night cough started the 2nd week, mostly gone now but I have a killer headache in its place. Can I please have a few purrs? None of the cats have caught whatever this is, thank goodness! Am 07.02.2007 schrieb Pat: > Can I please have a few purrs? Of course you can have a few purrs.

I don't think you can get mumps more than once. If your glands are up and as hard as you say you certainly have some sort of infection going on. How are your teeth? Sometimes you can get symptoms like this from having bad teeth. The problem with having infection in the teeth is that the bacteria can travel to the heart valves and then you are in serious trouble. I have an acquaintance who nearly died because of it. It took a while until the hospital figured out what was going on and in the meantime it was really touch and go. Tweed Purrs are on the way. After this length of time, I'd recommend consulting a doctor.

Purrs being sent for a swift recovery. Your symptoms sound like something I had over the christmas period. It took a whole month to get on top of whatever it was and I wouldn't have recovered in that time without the help of antibiotics (which I started taking 2 weeks into the sickness). So do go see your doctor. Dewi > Purrs being sent for a swift recovery. I've been feeling steadily better for the last few hours.

So do go see your doctor. Well, I might go see *a* doctor, since I don't really have a specific one. The po' folks clinic here never seems to keep a doctor for more than a few months, and I think I've only been there about four times in the 8 years I've lived in the area. Saturday of last week I felt so bad I was actually thinking of calling for an ambulance. I called a friend instead. Guess I just needed some moral support.... poor Pat, we will purr and pray that you start feeling better soon and get over whatever it is.

I almost feel back to normal tonight, just in the short time (7 hours) since I asked for the purrs!!! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- From: "Pat" <patricia251.catlitter@centurytel.net> >I woke up sick two weeks ago today, nearly got over it by last weekend but >am having a relapse now - throat is very sore and glands in face and neck [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >cough started the 2nd week, mostly gone now but I have a killer headache in >its place. Can I please have a few purrs? Probably just some strange virus that's hanging on. But..... It also sounds a lot like carbon monoxide buildup in your house. Have you had cold weather for the past 2 weeks? Do you have gas heat? Is it worse during a cold night than a warm day? Do you get an unusual amount of condensation on the windows when the heat is running often? If the answer to all these questions is "yes", you may want to have the heating system checked. > I woke up sick two weeks ago today, nearly got over it by last > weekend but am having a relapse now - throat is very sore and glands [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > None of the cats have caught whatever this is, thank goodness!

Have you seen a doctor? It sounds as though it might be something serious! (Especially if it has lingered for more than two weeks.) > Have you seen a doctor? It sounds as though it might be something > serious! (Especially if it has lingered for more than two weeks.) Today it seems to definitely be on the way out. I slept 8 hours last night, got up, stayed awake for a while, then fell back to sleep for a few more hours. Now I feel a whole lot better than I did at this time yesterday. At this rate I might be fully recovered by tomorrow or the next day. I didn't have much spare cash last month after buying a variety of OTC meds. Eventually I got some special herbal extracts for cold/flu and these were very helpful but only lasted a few days because the bottles were small. I highly recommend these extracts which are made right here in the town where I live: www.teetercreekherbs.com I know the herbalist personally and he's very good at what he does. He now has a new formula for cats, for the tick-borne illness that killed my precious babies almost seven years ago.... Purrs headed you way, and I hope you feel better soon! >I woke up sick two weeks ago today, nearly got over it by last weekend but >am having a relapse now - throat is very sore and glands in face and neck [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > None of the cats have caught whatever this is, thank goodness!

It sounds like strep to me. A killer headache nearly always accompanies strep, and relapses are common -- you can re-infect yourself IIRC. Anyway, hope you're on the road to recovery.

The headache and swollen glands are about all that's left, and both are reduced a lot since I asked for purrs. The oddball thing about this is I felt perfectly fine the night before this thing hit me, when I went to bed, and woke up 8 hours later feeling like death warmed over. I mostly stayed in bed for that whole week although I could not sleep much due to the pain and could not eat due to the pain and swelling. I took Yin Chiao tablets and aspirins that first week because they were all I had in the house and I wasn't able to go out. The 2nd week I had the herbal tinctures and I got some ear cones which seemed to loosen things up quite a bit after two sets. Anyway I think I am licking this, finally. At least I've been able to eat and sleep some this (third) week. > Hope you're feeling much better by now. It sounds like strep to me. A > killer headache nearly always accompanies strep, and relapses are > common -- you can re-infect yourself IIRC. Anyway, hope you're on the > road to recovery. I think that strep, or any major bacterial infection like that, usually causes a high fever. My guess is that this is viral. You can get some pretty weird swollen glands from viruses too. I have.
