Beta,

I’m so sorry for the loss of your Iguana! I bet she was a dear friend. Iguanas are such sweet creatures.

Big frownies. :(

  What is a sorority and its benefits?

  In my experience, sororities take bright, spirited young women and turn them into chastised, clique-ish girls who are willing to compromise the best aspects of their minds and personalities in exchange for shallow friendships, and social ladder climbing. But that’s just what I’ve seen.

  My body is freaking out. Are these common caffeine withdrawal symptoms?

  One month, a few years ago, my dad lived pretty exclusively on Power Bars and Coffee. While that was its own idiotic decision, he then decided to quit cold. He had the same symptoms you describe only more intensely in addition to dry heaving. He was stuck in a fetal position on the floor with a pan for a few days and really thought he was going to die, but he recovered. Considering the level of your consumption, I think it’s a pretty reasonable (while severe) form of withdrawal. If it’s just due to quitting, you should be better within two weeks. Some people are just more sensitive to the substance. To be safe, I would recommend visiting a physician to rule out some other sickness.

  @YARNLADY Apparently not. It means to have submitted the first answer in your fluther history. Our numbers dropped to 1 and 1 shortly after the thread began. :(

  What is this tonsil problem!

  @PandoraBoxx I know. It’s not sometimes, it’s always. Although it’s a hassle, eventually (usually) through persistence we get the care we need. That’s why I said that she (possibly with my help) plans to return with confidence to insist (though not disrespectfully) they take the appropriate actions. I guess I’m just not understanding why you felt I needed to be reminded of the potential severity of such a condition. In any case, I thank you for your concern. . For all: Our other housemate called her aunt who is a medical professional (and ER nurse?) She said that the “deterioration” is the body’s normal response to infection, and it should clear up. Playing it safe, my roommate is returning to our health center and pursuing the suggested referral. Thanks for all the help!
