Chronic longterm tonsillitis - anyone else?

Messages

I have had this for years, most of the 18yrs I have had me/cfs infact. It has ranged from mild to severe with pus on the tonsills :eek: . But the worst is it effects my spine, heart, ears and gives me night sweats. I am going to see an ENT soon and will beg him to take the damn things out.

I am wondering how much having them removed could improve my health/ability to function?!.

Hi Tulip,

Just today I started a thread about my recent tonsillitis, I am wondering if it is actually a reactivation of my EBV. I can relate to the pus on the tonsills, I had that last week! I haven't really had it before (that I know of anyway). I don't think I actually looked at them when I had Glandular fever.
Sorry, I don't have any useful advice about it. I'll be interested to see what other people have to say about it.

goodluck, ness
