hi,
rough outline im 24 years old, i dont smoke or drink, i lost my dad to lung cancer back in feb 2006, was a complete shock as he never smoked or drank, and it was all very quick and i miss him terribly.i coped reasonably well at the time and got engaged at the beggining of this year.
well this year in june a wild bunny we had in our garden died, for a couple of days i was holding back my emotions cause of work and was very upset about loosing him and in my lunch hour where i was rushing about getting things done i felt like something went in my throat, i had my lunch and it seemed to go but came back again that evening again it didnt last long. i went to the doctors the next day as i was off to a wedding that weekend got checked out and everything look fine, and just felt like i had a cold. for the whole of the following week i felt like something was stuck in my throat, i kept looking in the mirror couldnt see a thing then noticed i had a small hole in my tonsil with white stuff, i got it checked out and was told by a throat therapist that i have chronic tonsiltus, i have always had one larger tonsil but its never bothered me before in my life and that i should consider my tonsils comming out.the idea of that op scared me to death and i really dont fancy it at the moment partly cause i read online whats involved and im a very scared easily person.seeing the throat therapist scared me silly as she was very a matter of a fact. i was put on antibiotics but that didnt seem to help my throat swallowing problem, i went back to the doctor who said that the throat swallowing was unrelated to my tonsils and probably stress.that i didnt need to rush out and get my tonsils removed as he knew my health history better than anyone and i might find my tonsil might shrink and therefore its pointless to remove it plus he said see how things go over the next couple of years. i had a blood test to check to see if i had the strepaccous virus to stop me getting that rheumtic fever which the results showed i had levels of antibodies fighting it and had to wait another three weeks before another blood test which thankfully has come back clear, otherwise i would have had to go on penacillin injections for 3-5 years, however i still have this throat swallowing problem, it went for 4 days on holiday but is back with avengance.i did have a week free of it in august and two weeks free of it in july so why have i got it now?
i feel like im being strangled all the time and its reduced me to tears on several occasions, i mean is it delayed bereavment from 2 years ago of loosing my dad, am i going crazy? could it be the tonsil causing this?? im usually ok and not depressed that easily,i got my tonsil looked at three weeks ago and the doctor said they look normal, yes ones bigger than the other but its not blocking anything and isnt massive or in a bad state,i have tried rescue remedy,i have tried gargling with anadin. the only time im free is when im asleep.i have to admit i hate my job but i wouldnt say its stressfull and a lot of the time i get to go online. maybe i have too much time to think but how do you get the sensation out of you head when it never goes????i just feel like i want to rip that tonsil out as its on the same side.
please help has anyone had anything simular???
