Tonsil Stone Survey
An attempt to find common threads amongst tonsil stone sufferers!
Tonsil stone sufferers, you are NOT alone. Plenty of people have them, although no one is sure what causes them. There are ideas, of course. Dairy. Nuts. Some egyptian curse caused by Grandpa Joe robbing a tomb. The purpose of this survey, I hope, is to see if there is a common thread. Also, it would be kinda neat to get a snapshot of what we all are experiencing.
There are 12 questions in this survey.
