what causes the sore throat we get?

[vshelford]

I have noticed sore throat as a red flag that I've gone past what I should be doing. At first I kept thinking I was coming down with something, but then it would be gone again in the morning. Happened over and over again, didn't seem to have any correspondence with other infection-like symptoms, just fatigue. No more idea what causes it, but the fact that it is so common, and concurrent with fatigue, is certainly interesting. As I get better at not pushing past what I can do, the incidence of sore throat is less.

I"ve been overdone for many days now, but not hugely crashed, lucky me.

sore throat is really bad right now. so is my headache. Its generally like you describe.

If you have MCAS as a comorbidity it’s also a cause of sore throat. It took me over 10 years of having ME to realize that some of my symptoms are from MCAS. Treating it has improved these symptoms.

yeah, I probably have that.

I take one quercetin a few times a week and cross my fingers.

(Yesterday, my strep level sore throat came on; and about 40 minutes later I noticed how that disappeared (I laid down and gave up the ghost).).

I don't think a virus can reactivate that quickly, create symptoms and then vanish. It's so very odd.

This sore throat thing happened with me too, it started after my first dose of activated charcoal days ago and came with a achy/pressurized head feeling that also flared the neuropathy in the usual areas in my face. I was actually over stimulated, felt a lot more cold physically (got real cold feet and clammy hands), and couldn't sleep at first but after some days got tired enough to do so and when I actually got there I felt like I could go into a coma if I allowed myself to. When the over stimulation and headache went down the sore throat disappeared and didn't come back.
