Saltire, shosh,tribot - a question for fibromyalgia sufferers (and partners)

As some of you know,I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia after suspecting it for a while.

I now have another symptomwhich I am unsure whether it is related or not. I will probably go to the docs to checkbut thought I would ask.

Every few weeks, I getthe feeling that I amabout to get a throat or a chest infection. Tightness in upper chest, slightly sore throat, tight feeling around my neck. It does tend to coincide with my work - I work 2 days as a teacher and it tends to come on at the end of my second day.

It stays for around 3 days then goes and never comes to anything.

Trying to stop myself googling but wondering whether it is a common part and parcel of fibro or whether I amstraining my vocal chords at work (have particularly challenging classes this year) or my immune systemis down.

It comes for a few days then goes though and never transforms into an 'illness;....

hmmmm
how are you all btw

I must admit - the GPs at the practice have been pretty good so far. I have 2 favourites though who really take time to listen and explain. I will make an advance appointment with one of those I think to have a bit of a review of what is going on.

I feel a lot better today actually.DS2 is also having a nap - which he only ever does ever few weeks these days and it usually seems to happenon one of the days that I work. SO I have made guiness and beef stew and am sitting down with a coffee and a cookie.
