With my fybro I frequent feel like I'm about to get a sore throat and an ear ache but then it goes away so I've been back and fort with my ENT DR. So finally asked me if I was stressed out about something so I'm sure he probably thinks I'm strange or something ..so I'm still having those symptoms and decided to try a different dr maybe theres a certain test that can be done ..

I get sore throats. Sometimes it is as you stated, feels like it is coming on and other times it is worse. As for my ears, mostly I get the ringing in them.

Yep, I get this all the time....in fact, I've got a sore throat right now. My doctor acknowledges that this is a Fibro thing, and that they don't know why we get it ;(

Our symptoms can be extremely varied..and pains can move

But its not a bad idea to have things checked out when you are not sure if its fibro or not..

Along with my fibro i am very sensitive to things , smells , chemicals, meds...so sometimes i get sore throats from things i am ultra sensitive to , like newspaper print..if the paper is in the house...i get a very sore throat and a headache comes on quickly, and get dizzy...

In April, before I was diagnosed, I had a swollen glands and baking is associated with a sore throat. I get this quite a bit.

Yep! I often feel like I am coming down with a sore throat but then nothing ever develops. Annoying!:(

Don't forget that allergy season is upon us and we are really sensitive to our environment. And anxiety likes to hang out in the throat. Are your glands swollen?

I get this too, have since I was in HS. I had mono in HS and ever since then if I get stressed or too tired I will feel like the mono is coming back. The sore throat, swollen glands, achy. I also have allergies now (as everyone in the valley I survive in does) and that adds to it.

Yes my glands do get swollen my primary doctor says that it's part of fybro I also get gerd the gerd is a new thing

Yep I sure do. Never know if I'm really getting sick or not...

huh, that explains a few things. My throat and left ear have been really hurting the last couple of weeks.

That symptom usually means to me that I'm tired and really really need to rest. Try resting when you get that. It can be a harbinger of a flare also for me. It was my very first fibro symptom. I would get a sore throat and thought I was coming down with a cold, take the day off, and the next day I would be okay.

It's weird but FIBROMYALGIA IS WEIRD.

Never sore throats, never colds, never flu, never vaccines...BUT I've been taking grape seed extract since I was about 57 and I KNOW this antioxidant has kept my immune system strong and me very health all in all....so going on 20 yrs soon....

I recommend it to everyone I meet and who wants to listen....there is tons of info out there and I'm not a doc but a person forever seeking good health. J

Yep, every flare-up I have starts with a sore throat and ear ache.

I have a very sensitive throat. Just a speck of pepper or something tangy, like cranberry juice can set me off coughing like crazy. Of course, we are often in a restaurant when this happens. I don't put pepper on anything anymore when out. I had tonsillitis in my teens. I have had ear infections too.

If the symptoms do not go away it does not hurt to have your Doctor look into your ears an/or throat.

I have tinnitus all the time. Today it has been a constant bleep, like a submarine signal. So annoying.

Wow, this is pretty cool. I hope some researcher reads this and includes it in their next paper. I wonder if it's an immune function.
Posted 3/12/2015 2:43 AM (GMT 0)
Yup. Had a sore throat this week. I'm not sick, but I am in a terrible flare.
Posted 3/12/2015 5:59 PM (GMT 0)
I get those symptoms also. It seems if I'm not extremely well hydrated, my throat gets scratchy. And if I go outside on a windy or a cool day, I absolutely have to have my ears covered or I'll feel a fullness in my ears within a few hours.

It can really get ridiculous, can't it? Sometimes I think we need to surround our bodies with layers and layers of soft cotton, LOL! :)
