Anxiety attacks can also feel like your having a heart attack.

I gargle if I get it, it helps a little. We get an in law free Crimbo every year, just the four of us!

What is the current theory with Tonsils then?

In my memory, it has been rip em out, leave em in. eat ice cream coz it's soft, eat dry cornflakes coz they are rough. treat them, ignore them

I wouldn't have a clue what the doctor would do today (I don't even know if I have my tonsils or not!)

Actually Panlid - seeing your post reminded me - if there is one thing that makes me feel odd, it is a Midget Gem overdose!! Beer is ok, other food is ok, but Midget Gems are like a drug

uh-oh ..... Thinking about midget gems again and all the shops closed!

Thanks Bludall for the advice,

I have been prescribed an antibiotic so hopefully it will help over the next couple of days

When I was young they were all for removing them, then the thinking was that they act as a barrier to infection. You get ice cream if they're removed because it's cold and easy to eat. I had antibiotics the last time I had bad tonsilitis and it went fairly quickly, I don't normally get medication from the GP though, you'd have to be dying at our surgery. You'd have to have a look on the NHS Direct site to see what they recommend.

They don,t remove them here anymore either unless they really have to. :tongue9:

Without tempting fate, I hope I should be ok

Generally in good health - except got an X-Ray booked for 2nd Jan as I think I have broken or chipped a bone in my foot - fell over in Sept and still painful

You need to get a new doctor for sure, Blu - sounds total rubbish

Hoovie,

I don't go to the GP if I can help it, they're a total waste of time.
I cracked the knuckle on my next to little toe and have a lump but nothing could be done to improve it.

I must admit my GP surgery are fantastic. If I phone in the morning I normally get an appointment that day.

Even the receptionists are helpful.

I have a veruca, therefore I shall be burning all the kids pressies in the back garden at midnight

Hey Bathstyle - changing the subject ... Do you go along with the tradition of opening one or more pressies Xmas eve? We used to do that in our family due to german mother.

80% of the gifts were opened over the last couple of days as I'm away, ordinarily we open the odd gift xmas eve though
