Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Fatigue

I ve had an issue with sore throat, chest pressure, and overwhelming fatigue for @ 30 years. It seems to be aggravated by stress. I ve been tested for Mono, Strep Throat, etc. We thought we d found an answer when I was diagnosed with a severe vitamin D and B deficiency,as well as being Anemic (anemia runs in my family). I m also a Type II Diabetic with A1C readings of 6.0. It s have toyed with fibromyalgia, but I don t fit the symptoms. Is CFS a possibility? Or, any other suggestions?

Hi dear user
I have gone through your question.

For the chronic sore throat i suggest to meet a otolaryngologist for the necessary investigations.

If you have stabilised your hemoglobin levels,anemia is not the cause of your tiredness.Y
our Tip2 Diabetes is under perfect control so i think it is not the cause of your overwhelming fatigue.
Fibromyalgia is a disorder that can be accompanied by fatigue.For this reason i think it is necessary to meet a rheumatologist for further investigations.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating disorder characterized by extreme fatigue or tiredness that doesn’t go away with rest, and can’t be explained by an underlying medical condition.So, Yes CFS can be a possible cause of your condition.
My advice is to discuss with your treating Doctor because it is necessary to make a accurate differential diagnosis.

Best regards.
