Vaccine or not?

My ENT Dr wants to take my tonsils but I hear it's a nightmare for adults.

It's not fun. If it's just tonsils & adenoids, it isn't terrible though. The more aggressive uvulopalatopharyngoplasty is a booger. (I know from experience)

Still got mine too.

I had to take 3 of them, the original single shot and then the double shot introduced a few years later. Have had to close friends with shingles, it isn't anything that I want at all.

I’ve had a lot of different pain from numerous different things over my lifetime but shingles is at the top of the list, and it’s a long list .

The more aggressive what? Uvularhinoplastythingymabob? Never heard of it.

It's definitely tough but worth it, imo. It cured my sleep apnea which in turn fixed a bunch of other issues I was having including atrial fibrillation. I regret not having it done much sooner.

Any procedure with that many letters has to be a booger.

I don't disagree. But you are trying to equate a shot that could potentially kill you to a vaccine that could save your sight, hearing, permanent nerve damage and a shitload of pain. I have two or three friends that have had shingles, it's not to be trifled with.

Im actually not. Go back and reread. I just used one of your sentences to make a comment. If you reread you will see it. I’m not equating the 2.

Wish my mom would have let them do it when I was a kid.

Same here. I used to get sinus infections all the time. Hardly ever now.

Mine was sore throats as a kid.

I was going to ask how long you had been dealing with it . I was constantly having strep and infections until they took mine when I was 13 and it all stopped .

I don't get sore throats anymore but the Dr says my tonsils are yuuge.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I never get sore throats either, now. It changed my life. I used to never feel like I got enough sleep. I could sleep for 10 hrs and still feel like I hadn't slept. Now if I can get 5 or 6 I feel good.

The Dr said mine were some of the worst she'd seen. Swollen to the point they were almost touching.

Did you say they’re just a reflection of…nm.

It's a surgery to remove the tonsils, uvula, and the posterior aspect of the soft palate to enlarge the upper airway. I had it done in college to treat my sleep apnea. It fixed me, but that was two weeks of utter hell.

Good Lord! No wonder they need all those letters. No thanks on that one.

 

[rekinhavoc]

I’m sure there will be a full force campaign to try and ramp up that number. I can’t wait to see what all that entails.

Then they will have to explain all the serious side effects and deaths.

That's exactly what they did to me. Two weeks of hell, the first was a drug induced fog though. It was worth it though.

New research may explain why some individuals experience a rare and often fatal blood clotting disorder after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. In a recent study published Oct. 26 in the peer-reviewed journal Blood, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research and the British Heart Foundation, scientists from the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom identified a new mechanism of platelet activation in vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (VITT

I don't really remember the first week either. I was on Demerol and Phenergan.

Did you eat? I ate ice cream and chocolate pudding like it was on sale. My wife said I was going to be the first tonsillectomy patient to gain weight.

Hell no. I didn't have any extra to lose and still dropped about 15 pounds in 2 weeks.

I vaguely recall driving down to the kroger on Chapman highway for applesauce one day because I thought I was starving to death.
