Summary
A Reddit user with CFS had recurring tonsillitis around five or six times a year, which they say made their CFS symptoms worse while the body worked overtime to fight the virus. After a CFS diagnosis they had their tonsils removed, and since then they have had no throat or lung infections. Recovery from the operation took about a month, longer than expected, and they are glad the tonsils were taken out.

Their path
They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
