    same here.. had it alot when peri first kicked in.. now still do ever now and again.. i think its more of an allergic/allergy thing myself .  Take a look online and high hystermine foods .. and swap out for anti hystermine ones.. it does help until it settles down.

    I remember having flu/ cold like symptoms just before my period. And I had for a few months. Then it stopped. Hooray. But now I have all the other symptoms to deal with. Good luck.

      Hi imagine. Can you describe your symptoms. Did you feel like your glands were swelling in your neck too? Or like you had a fever? Thanks. I am at my wits end with all this anxiety!

      Hi, I don't remember my glands swelling much it was just sore throat and feeling run down must of the time. And I repeatedly got it once a month usually around periods. I had it for about a year or so and I thought I was going crazy. I didn't make any connection with peri. But I am certain of the connection now. I don't have it any more. So please don't worry. It will pass. It is like all these symptoms we have due to peri. One goes away and other one comes. How nice!? Please don't worry. It will pass.

      Thank you Imagine. My glands (lymphnodes) aren't swollen. They just feel a little achy. So of course i worry about the worst. My poor husband. ((Hugs))

    Hi Katie I just wrote about this the other day here. Yes soar throat off and on. I've taken antibiotics twice sense November 2016, I don't think it's an infection I've never felt this pain ever. But ever sense I entered menopause this symptom showed up. I feel like tightness and soar throat. I go like for two weeks without pain then it starts adding 😩 Lately it feels like it happens more often. It's not strep throat cause I was tested for that. Right now all I have to work with is i am thinking post nasal drip allergies or acid reflux. So I am doing saline nasal spray and avoiding all bad good even stopped eating meat and just eating veggies. It's stressful cause I have spent all last year at docs for one symptom or another Ct scans MRI X-rays you name it I had done last. So this year I am trying to pay off all my medical bills trying to avoid going to doctors. I hope you start feeling better and if you find something that helps or the reason why your throat hurts please let me know. I will let you know if I find something that helps. By the way my anxiety comes at 100% at times and I think I have theist cancer 😢.

      Hello I am still struggling with throat ache had X-ray fine lady Thursday hopefully getting results this week. I am ver anxious keep thinking the worse. Yes sometimes pain travels to my right ear. I want to get an endoscopy done right away but it’s a process. When I get my results from X-ray if nothing shows I am asking for endoscopy.

      Thanks Columba. Keep me updated on the results. I just got the referral to the ENT. I was going to ask for a scope as well. But, he may require me to get some type of xray as well. Thanks for telling me about your ear. And thanks for getting back to me

    Hi 

    I seem to have a sore throat that doesn't bother me on a morning but gets worse as the day goes on, kind of burning at the back of my mouth, I get really dry and also feel like I need to clear my throat but have no cough. Very irritating. The ladies on here said possibly burning mouth syndrome. I just sip water all day long. Hope you're feeling okay. 

    I've just read that back, no advice given sorry haha. 

    Big squishy hugs sent your way. Sheena xx
