I don't know why I never replied to your initial post, because I had no idea that the tonsils were responsible for that. I've always felt pretty fortunate that I still have my tonsils, because I prefer to keep my body as intact as possible, and I don't really like the idea of someone going down my throat and slicing (or laser blasting) parts of my body out. While I'd still prefer to not have surgery, you did give me something to think about.

So did you just get yours removed solely on the basis of that article, or did you have a serious inflammation necessitating or encouraging their removal?
