Are Body Ache And Sore Throat Symptoms Of Strep Throat?
I am a 60 year old active female diagnosed with MS and hypothyroidism. I have been more tired than usual lately, My doctor just upped my Synthroid this week due to my numbers. I have been experiencing numbness& tingling and headaches, which have attributed to MS. But now have body aches & sore throat. Could it be strep throat? Temp is normal.
