Google is such a demon whore when it comes to medical stuff. I Google things obsessively sometimes when I'm feeling unwell, and it is is never never NEVER a good idea.
But in the midst of my tonsil-related panic, Googling things that lodged terrible scenarios firmly in my brain, I came across a site based in the UK called No More Panic, which has a "Health Anxiety" board (which I certainly and fo' sho have), and there was a post about something that sounds like my thing, and it made me feel better. So I'm not pacing and hyperventilating and crying anymore, and am actually getting some work done.
Whew.
(Still concerned, though, and will get a referral to an ENT today or Monday. Also, I really don't need this shit right now. I have enough to deal with. Thanks, Universe. Sigh.)

Maybe we should do something tomorrow (today), if you're feeling up for it. I should be free, give me a ring!
XOXO,
