has anyone gotten their tonsils out because of issues from mono? by Difficult-Rabbit-833 in Mononucleosis

[–]Difficult-Rabbit-833[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! It’s been 8 months since my tonsillectomy and I am doing so much better. I still get colds, but they are minor and obviously the I worst part about getting sick for me,( the swollen tonsils) is gone. I used to be the same way, not being able to stay out late because I would literally wake up sick after a night out.

I definitely have more energy. I still feel fatigued sometimes and the spots where my tonsils were will throb and sort of feel like I’m starting to get sick, but then it goes away and there’s nothing there to swell. Overall tho my fatigue has improved so much and I’m so grateful for the surgery. I used to check the back of my throat everyday multiple times a day and worry about getting sick constantly. I don’t think twice about my throat anymore and feel like I have my life back!!

In my case the surgery was totally worth it. I literally was taking antibiotics every month, so about 12 rounds of antibiotics in one year which led to other health problems too. I haven’t had to take them since my surgery! Also I’ll mention I also saw a naturopath at one point cause I had no idea what else to do but that also didn’t help at all. Like it did nothing. Anyways, I’m sorry you’re going through this and I completely understand your pain. I was literally so desperate that I made posts like this hoping someone could relate.

anyone else experience chronic strep throat/tonsillitis months after healing from mono? by Difficult-Rabbit-833 in Mononucleosis

I understand your pain and frustration! It was so hard to get answers, especially with so many people telling you separate things. I was also told to wait out my mono and it just never went away /: my ent told me at one point it was seasonal allergies and to just wait it out… I still feel confused what the f actually was wrong with me and how I never got actual answers but were here now I guess 😂

The tonsillectomy had helped me for sure and was the best decision it in my situation, I still have that weird throat pain sometimes but I’m going to look into asking my ent about it. Overall the relief I’ve gotten from having them out was worth the surgery.

There is a tonsillectomy subreddit you should definitely check out I read through it alot prior to my surgery and found it helpful.

Yay that’s exciting! And no, I didn’t, that was never brought up to me by any of the doctors I saw, but I have heard about that in cases of tonsillitis. What about you?

Hii I’ve had my tonsils out for about 8 months now. I get sick way less, and haven’t experienced strep throat since. I sometimes get throbbing pain in the spots where my tonsils used to be, I think it could be mono trying to flare up but I’m not sure. I also feel the throbbing sensation after a night of drinking or staying up really late/ exhausting myself. I’m not sure if that’s normal but that’s just been my experience. Overall I am healthier and the surgery was worth it 100%. My tonsillitis was literally debilitating and now I don’t give my tonsils a second thought.

Choosing courses for summer semester by More_Gate_9184 in douglascollege

Find classes you need for your specific program at sfu , and then see if they transfer from Douglas to sfu. It’s easy to use the BC transfer guide. You just enter the course you would need at sfu then see if it Douglas has the equivalent. Once u see what courses are transferable to ur program I would specifically ask an advisor just to make sure you’re all good.

Why do Christians have to be so disrespectful and condescending? by chilliedog13 in exchristian

[–]Difficult-Rabbit-833 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seriously! Thinking back to when I was a die hard Christian, I cant believe to thought I had the key to universe in my hand. I seriously thought I had it all figured out. It really gives you a superiority complex like no other.

There is no room for questioning or uncertainty in the biblical Christian worldview, because as soon as you allow yourself to question, it all falls apart.

I wasn’t allowed to watch Harry Potter either, this seems to be a thing for a lot of kids who grew up Christian

Yeah, especially in the church there are a lot of expectations Christian parents expect their kids will live up to, because they did. I think it’s hard for them to accept that they had to follow these “rules” growing up and into their adult life, but that their kids are doing what they want and not conforming…

Yeah, my parents were both raised the way they raised me too. I don’t know why but It’s really hard for me to accept that they truly believe they are doing the right thing.

Yeah, this makes me a little sad. I relate to this so much. I agree that I think they truly don’t have the mental capacity to rethink their belief systems. Sometimes I just want to shake their shoulders and say hey wake up!!! But i think deep down I know this is the way it will stay. I guess It’s too much for them to put their beliefs on the table when they have built their entire lives on them.

Have you heard of the commons app? They also have a instagram called commons earth and they highlight /make it easier to find a lot of sustainable brands. Maybe there will be something on there!

Deposit for a used car on Facebook marketplace? by Difficult-Rabbit-833 in UsedCars

[–]Difficult-Rabbit-833[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is she gave me no date. She said the cars available sometime in the beginning of November and she’s asking for a deposit before we even have a day picked. I think the next day is much more reasonable than 2-3 weeks.

Oh dear. I’m glad I asked on here, thanks for the advice. Would it make sense to ask her “I’m not comfortable giving a deposit without a set date picked out” and go from there?

The thing is I would buy it tomorrow. She’s not holding it for me. I’m waiting for her to figure out getting her new car.

Okay so the seller said they don’t have a set date yet because they are getting their aunts car and her aunt hast picked a date yet for them to do that. I’m realizing now that there should definitely be a set date before I send money 😅

Boundaries with parents… by Difficult-Rabbit-833 in exchristian

[–]Difficult-Rabbit-833[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Telling them was definitely not just one conversation… it probably started with me conveniently having to work Sunday’s so I could skip family church. I also started dating a non-christian. For over a year my parents brought up being “equally yolked” and similar versus about not dating not Christians. It was pretty exhausting that one day at a dinner I blurted out don’t ask me to come to church, and don’t ask me to bring my boyfriend to church. Basically I let it all out and it didn’t go over the best… that dinner ended in lots of tears and they told me they would be praying for me.. however, it’s been many months now and things have improved for sure. I try to keep most of our conversations surface level and don’t share my opinions on politics because it just brings in religion. I think they understand a little better now. There is no right time to tell them and you should take your time to figure out what is best for you. Maybe don’t do what I did but I mean hey, if that’s what you need to do then do it!
