Hospital appointment tomorrow with ENT consultant

[Yorkiegirl]

To say I am fed up is an understatement
I have continually infected tonsils, had an abscess burst at the weekend :(
So tomorrow I am going to push to have my tonsils removed asap and also the soft palate cut. I was on the waiting list to have this done before DD1 was born as I have problems with sleep apnoea and snoring
I just hope the consultant agrees and the waiting list isnt too long!

yorkiegirl - this is mighty brave of you i had lots of problems with my throat and had to had camera up my nose then down my throat and that was bad enuff - good luck xx

I just need to get them out! I am fed up of having bad breath at times because of the infection, and also the constant infection in my bloodstream can't be good

yorkiegirl,

i hope you get your wish and everything is ok, drop a line on this thread again tomorrow good luck luv xx

yorkiegirl,

how did you get on ?

I am having my tonsils out. Got to keep going with weight loss (tell me something I don't know) and also spend a night in the sleep clinic. I suffer from sleep apnoea so the registrar thinks my tonsils are contributing to that and I may need to sleep with a CPAP machine at home
thanks for asking x

what apneoa? and a cpap machine sorry im a bit thick !

CPAP is continuous positive airway pressure. Basically a machine pumps air through a mask over your nose and blows air into your lungs to make sure you don't stop breathing

poor you i have no experience of this but it sounds very scary - r u ok ? r u a calm person ? im not i worry about every thing and if i dont have something to worry about i go looking for it !
