today's entry was inspired by a friend in the States (www.alifelessdamp.blogspot.com, who, I might add, only started her blog because of me) who is suffering from LNS (aka Lump in Nose Syndrome).
so, quite a heavy weekend (see new year's resolutions). get to work yesterday (pissing down on a boring Monday as Paul Weller would have it, see yesterday's post), and then around 4pm start to develop a weird pain in my neck. but only on the left side. not constant, only when i move. but really tender to touch. then my throat gets really sore and i start feeling a bit giddy/dizzy. it gets worse - to the point where i cancel my evening plans and go home to bed. still bad this morning. so. is it glandular or is it muscular? can only one gland come up on your neck? thankfully alifelessdamp informs me that cancerous lumps don't come up that quickly and i also did my own research which bore this out. though it is amazing how many self-diagnosers, hypochondriacs, Munchausen sydrome sufferers you can find in cyberspace. and even closer to home. i was relieved to discover that don't have glandular fever - a friend who self-diagnosed similar over xmas assures me that my symptoms aren't severe enough. his sore throat/dizziness was put down to 'just a virus' which he is now all but recovered from.
if i make it through the night i'll be back for more soon.

You are of course behaving in typical male nay almost hetrosexual fashion you realise? ie a cold = flu, a hangover = glandular fever, etc etc etc.
And just for the record, my condition is real as has been verified by a qualified medical practitioner. (who charged me $75 for the visit). So there.
