Tonsilitis

Yeah, that's it - I have been diagnosed with crohnic tonsilitis by an ENT specialist. My tonsils have been bothering me for quite a long while, but so far have not been able to get a diagnosis (how hard can it be I really don't know!). Anyway, I'm feeling relieved that all my swallowing problems and probs with food getting stuck etc, and feeling generally yuck, are not all in my head but are in fact due to this infection that has been taking a hold over me for far too long now.

Have been prescribed the dreaded antibiotics, so will see what happens with them - not looking forward to how they are going to affect my crohn's, as I never have a happy time on them, and the last time I had to have antibi's I ended up in hospital :( so praying that's not going to happen this time.

Seeing as yesterday it was -20 outside I think it's probably best I stay as warm as I can inside - although rather annoying as the sun is shining for the first time in several days and it would be nice to get me some air. Oh well, there you go.
