    Strep is something you don't want to mess with, if not taken care of it can do harmful things to your heart.

    webmd says it can take up to two weeksfor symptoms to disappear without antibiotics

    Dude...never check Web MD. I'm a total hypochondriac and I'm pretty sure I've had several strains of a rare diseases found only in central Africa...at least according to Web MD I did.

    I only googled "swollen tonsils" and it took me there. :(

    or tonsillitis and you need to have them removed.

    Only if it is bad enough to obstruct the airway

    Or just leave it, I've also always wanted to try doing a tracheotomy with a pencil.

    You can't do a trach with a pencil, you have to use a pen!

    Oh, so THAT'S what happened to that one guy.....NM, forget I said anything.

    Have you cut out bread? Every time I get an infection, I cut out bread and it clears right up.

    Ugh, we've got the same symptoms.

    In for advice!

    Vasectomy for sure. I think the Motivation & Support forum has a sticky on a DIY vasectomy.

    I watched the vet at the office I worked in during high-school do a lot of the neutering procedures. I got this.

    Sweet, thanks! I'm no good at DIY.

    I'll need a scalpel, some scissors, dental floss and some super glue.

    Strep? I heard that's contagious. Have you had mouth to mouth contact with anyone "questionable" lately?

    Say...in the last week or so? ;)

    I checked WebMD. Given the symptoms that I've attributed to your sore throat, it says it's either thyroid cancer or chemical burns associated with poisoning.

    It said treatment is to bend way over and kiss your *kitten* goodbye.

    According to WebMD you're pregnant or have cancer - sorry, bro

    At least its not lupus?

    If you ever watched HOUSE... the answer is always Lupus

    On a serious note, I used to get a horrible case of strep every year without fail. There would be lots of nasty white plaque on the back of my throat. The doctor didn't even need to swab for a culture to determine strep. Strep was only time I used antibiotics. WebMD may be right about it going away in a couple of weeks but please note you are extremely contagious and will continue to be throughout the course of this without antibiotics. Please consider biting the bullet and going to the doctor.
