to be disgusted and yet fascinated by this? [gross]

[YourHandInMyHand]

I've had a bad case of tonsillitis and my meds seem to be slowly working, a cough seems to have just dislodged most of whatever this something yukky is. It's a big lump of white/red and green "stuff". I feel as sick as I am fascinated and rather relieved to know it's no longer in my throat!!

Yuk and awe at same time.

Gaaaah!

I want one!

I can't eat, breathe properly, or blow my nose; my head is completely bunged up and my neck hurts.

I don't have any tonsils though.

When I was pregnant, I was really sick, and one day was throwing up so violently that something got lodged in my sinus and it was agony for a few days. Then I was violently sick again and it was forced out of my nose by the pressure of it all! It was rock hard by then and a bit like a green / red / white cannelini bean. It was almost euphoric. I didn't mumsnet back then so I didn't take a picture. Just showed my husband and then stared at it for about half an hour. It was tremendous.

I used to get tonsillitis badly and used to 'enjoy' popping the tonsil stones out with cotton buds...always felt strangely better once they were out :s

pic plz

Damn, the OP threw it away before getting a picture. naughty OP!

Can anybody else contribute?
