Members connected over the frustrating experience of feeling like they are constantly coming down with a cold, with symptoms like sneezing, thick throat, body aches, stuffy nose, and temperature fluctuations that appear and disappear quickly, a pattern many noticed only after developing fibromyalgia. Several members shared practical relief strategies, including saline nasal sprays, neti pots or sinus rinse bottles for daily use, prescription sprays, Lemsip before bed, and treating underlying sinus infections when they occur. A recurring theme was the tension between attributing every symptom to fibromyalgia versus ensuring individual symptoms receive proper attention and treatment, with many suspecting immune system issues or sinus problems may be contributing factors.

I like the bottle best, used to reme her to do it regularly but seem to forget prevention just too many meds to take, such a routine. I use saline spray too in general it seems to help with dryness.

Perhaps use your saline nasal spray daily as well
As your Nettie pot or Neil bottle . ( same company ) That’s what Mayos ENT and my local one recommended to me. The bottle is excellent . The drainage appears down the sink instead of down your throat.‼️

I have sinus allergies so i have thick post nasal drip down the back of my throat. It makes me feel like my throat is swelling shut or dry and sticking to itself. Sometimes it feels like the lymph nodes in the throat are swollen. I try not to worry about it until it lasts more than a few days and other symptoms not associated with allergies are present.
