Hi Liz, All i came onto this forum for was to ask a few things about Bulbar/Respiratory MND and whether it is a possibility that i might have one of them? That is all i wanted from here. If i wasn't having these problems i could be living my life normally but they are affecting me on a daily...

No he said it could be causing an obstruction as in breathing especially at night but didn't say whether he thought the swallowing difficulties were a result of the enlarged tonsils all he said was that it is possible but he wasn't sure.

Thanks, As i can see one for free i will go and see one anyway, It will take 6-12 weeks to get an appointment but that's ok with me.

I only mentioned that as when i got it out i was gagging a lot and coughing badly and got lots of pins and needles running down my back and in both arms.

Also, One quick thing, ALS aside for a minute, About an hour ago i had to remove a Tonsil Stone from my Tonsil as it was annoying me and i could feel it all the time, When i was getting it out i gagged very badly and started to kind of choke and i was coughing quite violently because of the...

Well i'm 29 now but yeah still young. Just curious, When you say 2%-5% chance of something serious what kind of things do you have in mind? Just interested in you're thoughts. I want nothing more than to be healthy and live life like we all do unfortunately life doesn't always work out that...
