Like many of you, I feel like I am just thrown into the "fibromyalgia dumpster" by the conventional doctors I've seen.

Does anyone get recurring sore throat? My mouth gets so dry and scratchy and my lymph nodes swell up.
Thanks
Sore throat and tender lymph nodes are almost constant for me. My flu-like symptoms are actually more prominent than the pain (which makes me think that I have "more" CFS than fibromyalgia, but the… read more
