    Was watching "The Drs" today and they were talking about Tonsill Rocks. Anyone heard of them? They sounded like something that a hypochondriac would tell you they were suffering from.............

    I had them for 9 years! My GP had no clue what they were, I only found out about 2 years ago due to tv too :) Got my tonsils out years ago though due to them, though apparently now you can just laser the crypts shut and solve the problem without taking the whole tonsils out.

    Seriously painful though, sometimes my throat would nearly swell close shut being full of them and all infected, very disgusting I know :P

    I get these and I'm definitely not a hypochondriac!!! They're horrible, they taste disgusting and stink:eek: Sometimes I can taste them in the back of my throat before I can see them. Really gross, asked my Dr about them and she didn't seem to know what caused them.

    No offence intended - they just sounded like some made up condition!
