ok bandsters help....

   I have tonsilitis.... BADLY. It started thursday at work and I have felt like **** since then. I finallly went to the dr yesterday morning because I couldnt swallow my own saliva my throat is so irritiated. Do I need to get  UNFILL?? I put myself on full liquids, soups, yogurt, etc... I have been on he antibiotic for 24 hours and can tell a difference but had a awful night last night.... so do I wait it out?? urg I cant imagine a tight fill with this, thats for sure....   thanks dawn

AWW Dawn! I feel for you!  so are you going to have them removed?  I still have mine and everytime i'd get a URI my former PCP would always tell me I'd be better off if they came out.

Of course you know you need to get the definitive answer from Dr. Shina, but I'd think that having an unfill wouldn't really help you much anyway since the tonsils are in your upper throat area.  You'd still have trouble getting things past that spot.  Did your PCP give you a steriod shot to speed things along?  If you can get some warm protein mix down (think hot chocolate) through the day along with other fluids I would think you could wait it out maybe until tomorrow.....but tomorrow is a holiday as well.... I'd just put a call in to whoever's on call from Shina's office today and see what they have to say.   Make sure you stay hydrated whatever you do though!!!

Dawn so sorry that you are sick.  Have you tried all your liquid warm.  It has did me a world of good to do that when my band tightens up. Of course if you are not feeling better and being tight hurts rather than helps maybe they can just take a little out if it is needed.  Wishing you a quick and safe recovery from tonsilitis. Z

thanks Beck and Z. I feel some better today not as weak, my tonsils still friggin hurt! good grief!! I was very dizzy yesterday and today its a lil better. Still weak and trying to get my strength back.. I will have those suckers taken out if I have to do this again!! whewwww.. I still feel alot of swelling and a lot of air build up so I know its still swollen..  Hope you all are having a better weekend then I am!!! thanks again dawn

Sorry not to wish you "feel better wishes" earlier...computer is screwing up! Hope you are better today and made it through the holiday weekend ok!

Hey girl long time no talk.  Sorry to hear about your illness, I hope you are feeling better now!  I'm on liquids again this week but I'm not sick.  Just wanted to wish you well-wishes :) Feel better soon!
