This Can't Be a Sign of Good Things To Come

I've been having allergy issues for the past two weeks. It's sucked.

But now I'm wondering if this is maybe not an allergy problem, but rather something more sinister.

My throat feels like someone rubbed it with sandpaper. My tonsils (what's left of them) are the size of golf balls, plus I feel like my airway is smaller than it was last week.

Other than that...I feel fine from the neck down. I'm not running a fever or anything.

I don't want to be intubated or anything, especially since the respiratory therapy department is giving me the cold shoulder right now.
