I had strep throat this weekend. I made DH take me to urgent care on Sunday (He didn't believe me, neither did the Dr, who also took a flu test). The quick strep test was positive, so now I'm on antibiotics. Thank goodness for modern medicine. I feel so much better now, though I still have a lingering cough and cold. My kids have had colds, but no one has complained about their throat. I was very careful not to breathe, cough, etc. on anyone, but my 2 yr old did steal my cup near my bed. Hopefully I'll be the only one to catch it. So, on with life!

Yucky...I'm glad you're feeling better!
I have the same thing going on here.  Last week ended up going to the dr with sore throat and fever, told dh I was 99% sure it was strep throat, and sure enough the quick strep test came back positive.  I've had strep often enough to know when I have it.  @@  And no one else here has had it, and no one seems to have gotten it from me, and I know we've passed germs all around.  I guess I'm just the "lucky" one who gets strep.  :P  I'm feeling MUCH better now, a week later, but still have a few days of abx to finish.  I felt like a rotten mom today, I just figured out this morning why the baby is suddenly breaking out in diaper rash... he's still nursing a few times a day (16 months old) and it must be a yeast rash.  ::sigh::
