Subject:  Taking tonsils out, and why i was having problems


Well...here's a LONG story. I woke up with VERY high fever and
shivers, and the white blood cell came out 23,730 (which means a HOLY
COW infection). They looked for Gall problems, they looked for
appendicitis... that was yesterday.
Today, they poked around for hOURs and finally thought of looking
down my throat....Guess what I have????

TONSILITIS. It seems I'm totally Asymptomatic, I haven't felt pain,
irritation, NOTHING, but my tonsils are very swollen and deformed
(which can explain why I was having so much trouble placing the sound
the other day with Dies Bildnis....and even THEN I did not feel a
thing wrong!).

According to the doc that looked, there's barely a gap between
tonsils as it is! And all this while they had been looking in my Gall
and my Appendix! He gave me a treatment and then said "you should
take them out. They're useless to you and the'll only cause you
trouble".

Here's the problem: my family has ALWAYS suffered from respiratory
sensitivity...taking them out would mean that I would only be even
more sensitive and vulnerable and that infections would go straight
to my chest and eventually affect my heart.

I still can't believe I SUNG (studied) with tonsilitis and that I
didn't feel (or feel now) a THING. So that's the way it stands
now...I can't take them out because I'd just be more vulnerable... I
just need to take really good care of them after this treatment is
done (Read as : my friendly allergist will have to prescribe me some
lifetime medicine, I suppose).... am I being foolish?
