I quit smoking the first day in April that I saw blood, I should have quit before but didn't. Also alcohol cut back to an occassional beer or glass of wine.
This throat issue has persisted for 2 months, so it is not simply in my head I believe. I never had an issue like this before.
Nor with fatigue and sleep, or ear pain, first time ever.
I went through the usual motions, saw a GP that didn't give a s##t, looked in my mouth for 5 seconds and said pharyngitis (sp) and gave me anitbiotics. Saw another GP that did the same and called it something else. Then I discovered that my great health plan was open access so I can skip the GP nonsense and go without a referral to whomever I want.
I need to get to the bottom of this because I can tell something is really wrong. I cannot just pretend it is not there but I agree with resuming life at the same time.
