Yes, I do. There were a few times last year that I thought it was strep, but I kept testing ground negative.
^^^ I have no idea why it says "I kept testing 'ground' negative". I shouldn't type things when I'm tired. :)
Thanks, I'm not sure if it's from my thyroid or if I'm getting sick but it's been hanging around over a week and noticeably worse today. I just started synthroid 3 days ago so it hasn't had time to kick in yet
I've only been on synthroid for 13 days. I still have the occasional throat soreness. Before I knew I had hypo, I kept wondering why I was always getting sick with a sore throat, but no fever. Little did I know...
If your sore throat gets worse, you could go to immediate care for a throat culture to be on the safe side. Sometimes my sore throats were so bad, it felt exactly like strep but it wasn't. It's whatever will give you peace of mind that matters.
I hope your sore throat feels better soon.
Thanks infinity, woke up wth a sinus infection today so I guess I'll be headed to the GP tomorrow :(
Ugh... that *****. I'm sorry. I hope you find some relief soon. I don't want to make any assumptions, but may I suggest a probiotic if your doctor RXs an antibiotic? The only reason I bring that up is I was on an antibiotic this past Fall and I think that contributed to a lot of the gut issues I've been having. I'm now taking a multi strain probiotic. Just thought I'd mention it. :)
Way ahead of you, I take them every day :)
