So I completed week 4 last week and this week was meant to be week 5 but I had a bladder infection and tonsillitis so I've rested up I'm hoping to get out tomorrow to run!

Has anyone else took a week a off if so how did u find it when u started running again??

A week would not make much difference but you have been poorly. Tonsillitis is very debilitating so you might need to build up your strength a bit

Pick up from where you left off, go really steady. If it doesn't work go back a week. There's no hurry 🙂

This will be the 5th time I've had tonsillitis this year!!

It knocks me off my feet every time it's awful but I have an appointment to see an ENT consultant soon so fingers crossed they will whip them out!

I feel much better than I did and I think I should be ok to start running again I actually really miss it!

Here's hoping I get on ok! Thanks for your reply I'm gonna have a crack at w5r1 and see how it goes!

Years ago they would have gone! Things changed though and now they seem to want us to hang on to our troublesome tonsils. It sounds like you need to be insistent when you see your specialist.

I will be lol plus I have the added issue of guttate psoriasis which I got from bacterial tonsillitis.

That appeared in January as few spots and within days my whole body was covered in this horrible itchy rash!

I'm just coming to the end of a 10 week course of phototherapy (uvb light treatment) whilst it's still visible it's so much better!

The last thing I need is it coming back!! But every time I get tonsillitis I run the risk of the psoriasis returning!!
