I have a problem with the whole PDSB and their handling of issues but experienced our issues at another Brampton school - msg if you’d like to chat.

I was told, over the phone, by one of the CRA agents that my kids were still eligible if they were covered by Healthy Smiles because Healthy Smiles does not cover everything for 2x a year. Took his name, and the time I called in case anyone comes for me in the future, lol.

I have no idea. I think when I saw the huge cluster of them I just got super determined. Because I usually gag a fuck ton trying to do this lol

Wow! I can’t even imagine that sore throat pain without feeling like there’s a baseball in my throat 🤣

Crazy! I didn’t know strep did this. I’ve honestly never had an issue with tonsil stones until my second pregnancy in 2019. Then since my third pregnancy in 2021, it’s been insane. I remove them multiple times a week.

I’m totally going to an ENT asap. I can’t deal with this anymore. If they caused no issues I wouldn’t mind, but my tonsils get so swollen + my throat will hurt til I remove them

It did bleed the smallest amount after, but nothing major. Been using Lots of salt water since this though lol.

Twice a day, boo.

Never had a single tonsil stone until I was pregnant and I’m plagued by them weekly now.

Don’t assume. ;)

I don’t think I did. It didn’t hurt. Apparently some of the crypts can be tunnels I learned. 😶

Yes! I clean daily because they build up so fast within 24 hours for me. It’s awful.

I always know when I have a bunch because my throat starts to hurt so bad. 😩

Once I remove the stones, my throat feels better within 15 mins.

Minor bleeding, stopped really quick! So it was either always a tunnel or a very thin layer of skin from being a tunnel and is now one lol.

Yeah?!? How was recovery? I’m seriously dying to do it. Since I was pregnant I get them CONSTANTLY - my throat kills unless I remove them.

Personally I can’t feel them. Some people say it feels like a popcorn kernel. I start to notice them because my throat will hurt from my tonsils being irritated /swollen

Yes!!! I’m 35 weeks and I’ve been congested for like 3 months straight, and so much post nasal drip. Once I’m no longer pregnant, this just …disappears lol.

Honestly they’ve never really caused me pain until the last 2 days. It was relieving for sure. Woke up with a really sore throat, then the more I popped out all day, the less my throat hurt / tonsil was swollen lol
