I guess if one malfunctions none of the others will work either? So that's probably what happened. He also said it's always good to have a spare plug in detector so I got this one today: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00002N86A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it works great. It also tells you the level of CO2. (350-1000 is when it's dangerous but prolonged exposure over 50 will make you feel sick. Mine was at 314. ) i think that's the kind i have. man that must have been so scary! *hugs* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird thing is the carbon dioxide detectors didn't go off but I guess that explains why I've had so many headaches lately. Kinda creepy to know I could've died at anytime and not even known it. Yikes girl....that is scary! We have had a few people die up here where I live cause of that. You don't want to mess with that. Which reminds me that I need to buy a new detector. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had done a blood test they would've known a long time ago it was carbon monoxide. That's what scares me more than anything. That something so obvious could be missed by so many different doctors. oh girl drs these days are mostly incompetent! i have to keep on mine all the time or i will never get the meds i need. my advice is if you feel something is NOT RIGHT insist on a retest. if that doesn't work get a second opinion! my dr left and the one i got in her place is an idiot. my nurse practitioner is so much better i only see her now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cantona Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I think I may have strep throat, feel like kicked shit. I also had the worst fever I've experienced for two days, but I feel better now. My throat is killing me though, I can barely speak and I'm chugging as much warm drinks as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strep throat is an infection caused by a specific type of bacteria, Streptococcus thus why strep needs to be treated with antibiotics @AslatIE! plz do k? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hey I dont wanna interrupt this conversation, because it sounds serious. Actually I'd add that as you wait to see a dr, consider gargling sage tea. Dried sage from the spice rack, steeped as tea, cooled enough to be safe and comfortable to gargle. the higher quality the sage the better. Warm salt water too, if you're not already. Okay, but I wanted to whine that today I called a song cheesy that my buddy had just posted in a different thread. Right here in this forum. Sorry again. You know who you are.

It's something yanks get cuz they've gone soft from drinking all their water out of plastic bottles you pay a quid for, us what drink the Grand Union Canal ain't got no worries about catching that...AIDS maybe but not strep throat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cantona Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Not convinced it's strep throat really, but it's really painful, like it hurts pretty bad when I breathe, let alone talk! Somebody just shoot me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillionsOfSpiders Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I'm pissed off ?Was driving down a very busy road earlier when we saw this man in the middle of the road stopping the traffic and saw he was trying to stop the cars from running over a mother duck and babies. So we pulled over and seeing as we had a box in the boot we decided to collect them all up and take them to the local river. Just got a load of shit on Facebook from people I don't know for gathering them up and taking them to the wrong river. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
