Since christmas I have had a sore throat
almost constantly, swollen glands, a
bronchial cough, sometimes dry sometimes
not, and additionally a conjunctivitus
type itch and rash on my eyes, which even
when that cleared up, like a stain is
still on my eyelids.
I went to the doctor, who said my chest
sounded awful. He sent me for a chest
x-ray (negative/normal) and blood work,
checking for lupus, i.E.Immune disorders,
all came back normal
i am and I repeat never sick. I haven't
had a sore throat in 30 years.
Any suggestions/ideas?
