Other than migraines I've never had too much of an issue. Never even broken a bone. Well, I have had a few other things. Something that wasn't strep throat but might as well have been (so the doctor said) that caused enough pain that I had to get a codeine-based cough syrup so I could swallow. And appendicitis. But nothing tops migraines.
Yeah now that I'm (mostly) out of the shit, I still put those headaches above this experience. I also had thrush as a result of mono a number of years ago, so I know your throat pain; only, I'm allergic to codeine, so I had to have these huge, nasty dissolvable tablets to suck on for two weeks. I couldn't even talk during the time, which made it especially hard to explain to people why I had been gone for two weeks and then return 45 pounds lighter.
