I'm a 21/f... healthy active, but i am constantly getting sick! I'm almost 20000% sure its becuase of my tonsils... I have had strep atleast 5times this past year, not to mention phnemonia.. sorry can spell, and bronchitis... how do I go about telling my doctor I want these gross things out without sounding crazy? I swear every time i turn around they are gross and white/ red puffy!!! So sick of it... also I have state insurance, so i think he may be tricky.. but they must go!

Doctor patient trust takes time 2 develop. Do U have a family Dr. or one U have seen a while? I suggest U make a list of all Ur illness U have had with a date if possible. If U can find Ur insurance companies website that should let U know who Ur providers R. U can use http://www.411.com 2 get phone numbers, so U can call 2 see if they take Ur insurance. When U make an appointment tell them U want a blood test or a culture swab. The red, white & puffiness is a sure sign of an infection. U could even go 2 an eye, ear, noise & throat specialist without a referral, I believe that is who U need 2 see. I hope this helps or gives U something 2 think about.

Find a Dr. who will listen to you, and take you
seriously. And don't stop until you do.
