Have you people been having illicit sex?!??!? (I mean, you would have if you were on House.)
I guess summer isn't quite over yet -- of my 10 person department, three of us are here today. I just filled out my timesheet for August, and all I did was work every day. Not a holiday, not a day off, not nothing. That was depressing. And makes me want to take this Thursday off, in addition to Friday.
Or you could save the day, and take it in October...

Well, yes, but that's not the cause of this symptom. It's vasculitis!
I've been mainlining House; all my medical issues are now symptomatic of some horrifying and obscure disease.
Does anybody know if House had dealt with Stevens-Johnson syndrome yet? It's really nasty and potentially fatal if not caught early enough, and just up House's alley as a result.
I want the disease that is cured by sour candy.

I think there is a canker sore epidemic-- call Dr. House!
You know it's going to get a LOT worse before it gets better if he's on the case (IF it gets better). Probably with seizures.
My sister had lots of canker sores and her doctor recommended lysine. She had to eat more chicken (or take a suppliment) and the sores went away pretty quickly.

Eat more chicken. OK. Any other lysine sources?
Relatedly, something that has been bothering me all weekend: when I was a kid, I was made to gargle salt water for my canker sores. I haven't tried it since because 1. paintful and 2. I can't figure out why gargling with salt water would help. It would be quicker than attempting five applications of Zylactin or whatever. Does anyone know? I mean, we don't typically put salt on wounds!
I was told the salt would dry the canker sore out.

Me too. Probably just rinsing would have the same effect, since I think it's getting the salt water on the sores that helps (if it in fact does), not getting it into your throat. I hear you on the painful (and also, just tastes nasty) though.
