I have Tonsillitis
Click to expand...

When i went to Russia, i came down with THE worst case of tonsillitis. I mean, it was so bad to the point where, i was still suffering with it 3 months after i returned home. Doctor after doctor, antibiotic after antibiotic, steroid shots, throat swabs, etc..... nothing worked. After going through all that, what finally worked for me was prayer, and Grapefruit Seed Extract. I was reading online for some herbal remedies, and numerous people who suffered with Tonsillitis recommended it, because it works as a natural antibiotic, without side effects. What you do is, go to any herbal store, and buy the Grapefruit Seed Extract in Liquid form. It's very powerful stuff, so you'll only need 10 small drops in a 6 oz glass of water. After you stir it in real good (that's important, because it will leave a weird taste in your mouth) you gargle it until the whole glass is gone. Also, because it's derived from a fruit, it's safe to drink after each gargle.

I don't know for sure if it will work for you, but i think it's at least worth a try. After doing some praying/having numerous people pray for me, and after using the seed extract for about 3 days, i got better, and have been better for a while now.

Good luck;)

I just want to vent about health care

I have had Tonsillitis 64 times in my life (all 22 years of it) and now they say i really need to get them out, not that they didn't say that before but i was being a pussy lol

so now they wont pay for the surgery because they say its elective.... wdf are you serious? 64 times and you still don't think i need them out??? lol

Wow, that's crazy. When i was suffering with it, each and every doctor i went to kept giving me the complete runaround. Nobody knew what they were doing, and nobody really knew how to help me. I mean, what are they getting paid for exactly? Now i have a $1,500 hospital bill, with nothing to show for it. $500 dollars for a throat swab? LOL....the healthcare in this country sucks.

Oh, and i had about 4 or 5 flareups in about 2 1/2 months. It came back every 10 or 15 days. I couldn't eat, drink, or talk. It was the most miserable experience of my entire life. I can only imagine how you're feeling, having to go through it for 22 years. Wow, my thoughts and prayers really go out to you. Hang in there.

I just got back from the ER. Was told last December that I have a stomach ulcer. Went to the ER because of the intense pain. They did blood work...everything came back normal. However, Im still in pain. What the heck. Whatever. So now Im back at home with pain meds so that will help. I got a referral to a specialist. Ill call them tomorrow.

My first post in this thread and it's not a happy one. My man didn't get his visa to come to be with me. :smt089 We were both so looking forward to him coming here.

But there is a small bright side, I suppose. I get to take another trip to Kenya. I love it there, so it's not all bad. And the silver lining is always that I get to be with the one I love most in the world. :) :heart:

Why didn't he get the visa Sin Mari? It is good that at least you two are able to be together. That's wonderful.:p

Sorry to hear it Sin.

I would like to travel to Africa. I have been to Morocco and Egypt, but that is all.

My days off are coming up and my plans are to go to Chicago and eat at the Ralph Lauren restraunt and visit the Field Museum. But that has been my plan for 3 weeks now and I always end up working...

Because he comes from a poor country. They said the bad world wide economics, combined with the poor country of origin, to them means he won't want to go back to Africa after his trip. They consider anyone from Kenya a risk..apparently. Unless they're filthy rich of course. *sigh* Australia is a bitch to get into if you're not rich. :(

But I can get into Kenya, no problem. So, guess I'll have to suck it up and live over there after all. Not my ideal place to live...very poor, unlikely to live anywhere with electricity or indoor plumbing...but people can live without that. I suppose.

Ok...yeah, I'll have to move him closer to a city I think. ;)

Absolutely. I have a friend from Scotland who's married to an Australian lady. They have a house, everything..and whilst there was no problem with him getting a visa to stay, he had all sorts of other problems...It's both crazy and useful...But for you, probably just annoying as hell...

If you guys got married, couldn't he come to live then?

Which part of Kenya is he in? And where did you guys meet.
I agree - African accents are the best (referring to your comment in another thread)

If we got married it might make it a little easier, but won't guarantee anything. We actually are engaged so will be getting married soon anyway (in Kenya now).
He's in central Kenya, in a place called Naro Moru, at the bottom of Mt. Kenya. We met on a community project I did in Kenya. He's the best. :smt058

Sorry for the late responce FEHG, I forgot where this thread was. LOL!
 
I just finished my first round of classes (with A's!) and have started the next.

I just wanted to publicly encourage those that I have tried to encourage privately about school. Truly, if I can go back 20+ years later and do it at this point in life... with 4 children, work, getting ready to move...anyone can!

Time goes by so quickly. Do what it takes and get in there and get going. You will be well into it before you know it. I mean I can't believe I've finished a round already.

Good shit.
 
I think I have the internet again! Mostly moved into my new apartment (got shoved in with roommates cause my loans won't pay for a private student housing apartment anymore) and there's a connection I can jack here, so I hope it lasts!

I like my roommates. We were friends first, so moving in here hasn't been too bad. Kinda odd since I'm used to living alone, but hopefully it'll be all good. We're all potheads, so I think we'll get along famously.
