This lot of ab's don't appear to be working yet.. though if I recall correctly last time I had tonsil issues it took 4-5 days for the drugs to stat working.. I AM going to college tomorrow night if it kills me... I keep having to have naps during the day though as I am sleeping so badly and taking that many drugs now.. :s.. I am just exhausted!
