Thx for the info, will have to read up on that. No my tonsils arent swollen or anything, one dr did say theyre far back, n he thought it was surprising but didnt say much else on the matter. cant remember which words he used. Most likely bc of my spine disorders such as neck straightening, disc wedging where my neck appeared misplaced n looked broken, also im told my eardrums are retracted. but there are other complications, some listed. Was slso a smoker over a decade n had my eardrum busted when my ex hit me. Add to that mercury amalgams and yeah, its just way complicated. There are a zillion reasons for everything
