Have you Ever????.....Jeez Just Shoot Me Now!- Akua Tuta   Author:  12581  Category:(Discussion) Created:(11/20/2003 9:52:00 AM) This post has been Viewed (1018 times) Hello Everyone, Long time no see, Hope everyone is doing great! :p Feeling like a wilted houseplant, I have been down sick for about a month now & wanted to ask ya'll somthing & see what ya'll thought of my situation. For almost two years now, I have been getting sinus infections which includes a sore throat, night sweats, vertigo, temporary blindness (visual distortoin), fevers, & lots of sinus complications. Before all this, I was relativly healthy, I hardly ever got sick & now, I can't stay without the sinus infection for more than a month. My recent infection appears to be Antibiotic resistent, I have already taken two courses of Antibiotics & thus I am still not feeling well & lemme tell ya, it's extremely depressing to be sick for over a month. My previous infection which I had less than two months ago, was resistent as well & it took two courses of Antibiotic. I am starting to wonder if perhaps the reason for my continuous infections is because my tonsils are messed up. I have one tonsil that is Asymentrical, in other words instead of it being tucked back into the side of my throat, it hangs out right in the middle. This tonsil, more often than not, will have white spots on it & this has gone on for the entire duration of my repetative illness's.I have had problems in the past with a resistent infection, which ended with surgery. So this makes me wonder if perhaps my tonsils are somehow "holding the infection" My flakey Dr keeps glancing in my throat, asking if I smoke & then dismissing the swelling & redness in there on smoking. My arguement is, I smoked for ten years before this started happening, with no problems. I have recently significantly cut down on my smoking & I have gotten sicker, plus, smokings bad but it doesn't cause distinct white spots & white spots are indicitive of infection. I think when I go back to the Dr on Friday, I'm gonna get loud & make the Dr pay attention to the fact that there is a persistent infection that has been going on in my throat, which may be the root of the problem & the entire reason why my sinus's keep getting infected. But my question to you guy's is...Have any of you ever had their tonsils out? What was the reason why they took them? Any advice? Thanks for listening you guys, I appreciate the input! Take Care!!
