Hopefully it was just strained and not actually torn. I haven't been to anything but heart doctors lately but will have the hernia thing checked next time I see the primary. The feeling of a week spot has gone away completely so i am hoping it was just a pull and not a tear.

I also had the high fever , chills , etc. It took me two weeks to fully shake it and even after two weeks , despite feeling fine , I had this nagging little irritated throat cough for another two weeks. All this happened while I was still in A fib so I was totally miserable for that time period. (but as the old saying goes.......then I saw a guy with no arms and no legs and realized how lucky i was)

honey is hydroscopic meaning "attracts moisture"
and a table spoon now and then helps that dry
raspy cough tickle in the throat crap...

Singers use it to recover from strained vocal cords.

I went in o the docs, and it wasn't the flu some type of ear virus, and cold combined, put me on antibiotics, now today I feel like I am going to throw up. It's almost like car sickness this sucks, I hope i don't have that stomach bug now.

do you have an appetite? that is the question....

anytime i don't have an appetite first thing in the morning
that's when i know something is definitely wrong

(i like a piece of toast with honey and cinnamon typically)

nature's antibiotic is GARLIC
