Yes, I've had them for as long as I can remember (I'm 48) and my tonsils have always been huge. I can't say that I've ever associated them with abdominal pain, but then again I can't remember ever having them cleared up. Also, I do have asthma, so I couldn't say whether I have them because of the PSC or the asthma. Regards, Carolyn B. in SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Ross, I used to get them every once in a while. I never related them to my liver issues, but it is interesting that you do. I'd imagine that the same infection that's causing them is also in your bile ducts which is why you feel better once they fall out. I never knew what they were or why they might be there. Thanks for sharing. Of course, it was doubly strange for me since I had my tonsils out as a kid.
