Tonsillitis

[vraiblonde]

I haz it.

Started Saturday night, and I've been miserable ever since. Doc put me on Amoxicillin on Monday but so far no real improvement.

That's all. I just wanted to bawl and moan. Feel free to give me sympathy. Or better yet, give it to Monello for having to put up with my cranky butt.

I had this a couple years ago and it one of the most horrible things ever.

 

[Misfit]

I had my tonsils taken out because they kept making me

Did they rule out mono? Then again if it is truly mono you would feel bad enough that you'd want Monello to knock you over they head with a fancy pineapple in order to be put out of your misery.

Have you seen an ENT specialist about removing your tonsils? You may consider it if you continue to have issues. I had mine removed about 10 years ago- it is considered pretty serious surgery having it done as an adult. My doctor said my tonsils had a lot of scar tissue (that he had been unable to see before removing). It helped my sleep apnea, too.
to you and to Monello

 

[Misfit]

Poor Monello

 

[Bann]

I feel your pain!

I had it repeatedly when I was 18/19 years old. I mean, I would finish the anti-B and would get it again within a wk ...until they took out my tonsils when I was 19. It sucks, and you feel horrible!!

Hope you feel better soon & let Monello baby you at least a little.

I've never had tonsillitis before and always thought it was just a bad sore throat or something.

Uh, no.

This is awful and has taken over my throat, mouth, body, and psychological outlook. It destroys your will to live.

Having them taken out is 100 times worse. It was the worst pain I have ever experienced. My wife said it is far worse than child birth. It is two solid weeks of agony. Pain meds only dull the pain, they don't make it bearable.

This is true. Very true. Hurts like a m-effer

This should be the dictionary definition of it. I had never had it as an adult either and it was truly horrifying when I did.

Salt water rinses may help a bit. Drink plenty of fluid, and take some Motrin if you can. Feel better soon.

This also is true. Worst. Pain. Ever. Evvv-er

Not only that, but my high threshold for medication pain relief and low tolerance for pain...meant that the local anesthesia they used (Bethesda Naval Hosp) didn't last the whole surgery and I felt the last stitches going in. Surgeon saw the tears rolling down my face and said I shouldn't be feeling pain yet. Yeah. Ok.

Not trying to be a MKK and one up you or anything, but I had a similar experience. But I got to feel the scalpel cutting into me. During my vasectomy.

Okay, you win. :shudder:

 

[libertytyranny]

I had my tonsils out as an adult, it was painful but I didn't even take the narcotics they gave me. I took two doses of vicodin before i started projectile vomiting..so i opted to swallow childrens motrin instead..3-4 days later I was much improved and didnt need anything. It was much preferrable to the constant infections I had. I do have a rather high pain tolerance so that helps but its def better than being constantly sick.

I'll be MKK and go one better. Involves the same region. BIG threaded needle. NO pain killer, topical, injection or otherwise....

If I could have gotten up I would have slugged that doctor.

Or better yet, give it to Monello for having to put up with my cranky butt.

Either Tonsillitis has mutated or we may have a misdiagnosis...
