sore throat lasting 4 weeks

[sameasyoubutdifferent]

Hi, not life threatening but I'm fed up of it now! I've had a sore throat, achy limbs and tiredness for 4 weeks. Sometimes it feels as if it's going then it returns with a vengance. I know I should go to doctors but I'm sure he will say it's a virus and nothing they can do. I feel as if the germs are just there, under the surface waiting to strike. My glands in my neck and groin are raised. Will it just go of it's own accord?

I've had a sore throat and fatigue for a couple of weeks. I think you should go to the doctors ... then tell me what we've got

ooh no you go please; I cba to sit in the waiting room for 40 mins for them to tell me to drink plenty of fluids and rest :)

Agree with go to gps.If you see a different gp to your normal one,he or she may give you more helps or tips.

Do u live near fields full of oil seed rape? If so, I reckon that's your answer!

Apols for random text speak there!

no not close to any rape fields. why would that cause these symptoms? has any one else had this and what did it turn out to be?

They are notorious for being the cause of that lousy feeling you describe, my husband (and his brother & sister) all suffer, as do many others at this time of the year, it's the only time he ever needs an inhaler. He's been feeling rotten for weeks now. Wors this year as the rape is extra high because the weather prevented the 'limiter' being applied to crops and they're huge. My eyes ahve been itchy for days too.
