My fibromyalgia and CFS were triggered by Epstein Barr Virus (mono or glandullar fever) which recurrs constantly if im stressed or in a flare. Causes the sore throat and swollen glands. You can get 2 blood tests for it, 1 shows if youve ever had it and the second shows if its active. I take 1000mg of L Lysiene a day as a natural antiviral to try keep it at bay and it works well.

This is a nightmare for me....constant for years...wakes me in the night reaching for painkillers...only on one side. I have been to ENT, had ultrasounds, mris, you name it....nothing wrong...except I'm in constant pain....I'm sorry your going through this too xx

I’ve suffered with a sporadic sore throat for a couple of years now, dr gave me a numbing spray to use when it’s bad, if you pay for prescriptions you can buy the same throat sprays over the counter. We thought mine was possibly allergy related but it seems very random so maybe it is fibro related? Dr never investigated it, just gave me the spray lol

I’ve had a sore throat the past couple of days, but I thought it would just be allergies, I would not have dreamed it being fibromyalgia related?????

Yes. I’ve had this for months. Also pain along front of neck as well. My lymph nodes are also tender. Have all sorts of testing done. Nothing shows up.
