I'm 34 and have suffered from tonsilitis and strep throat and chronic sinusitis for 4-5 years now and have been on antibiotics at least every 3-4 months for 4-5 and it's getting worse to where I need pain meds now. I was on antibiotics during the middle of May, first of July and first of Aug. and now I'm hurting and sick worse than all three of those times combined it feels,bc of my fibromyalgia my whole body hurts when sinuses or tonsils are inflammed. One of my ent dr's say I shld have the sinus surgery and the other one says its my tonsils, but I'm so sick of feeling horrible all the time I'd take them out today if I cld-but I currently have no insurance until November:( My husband switched jobs in May, but before that the reason I haven't had either procedure done was bc of pure fear! Everything I've read and heard other people say is horrible! But I'm am noticibly getting worse, I can feel it with every fiber of my being so I'd be willing to try anything now. My question to anyone "was it worth it?" I have 3 children who sadly, have gotten used to their mother being sickly a lot, and my husband its wonderful and helps out and a lot and is very understanding and says he'd take it away if he could BUT I feel useless and defective as a mother and wife:( I'm glad I run across this site....any advice or words of encouragement would be nice. Just sick and tired of being sick and tired :/
