My throat is sore, my eyes are swollen and I am coughing up a white mucus (sorry). My joints hurt and are real stiff. I have not been around anyone with these symptons either. Nor to my knowledge, exposed to any known viruses or bacteria. I called a friend, who runs a clinic, and was told there has been a lot of inquires with these symptoms, going around? Sounds like the flu but, my stomach and regulatory system are fine? I have rinsed my mouth and throat out with warm water and salt and then brushed my tongue also. This seems to have helped a lot, but the symptoms seem to be coming back. I am going to have a strip-throat lab test done tomorrow. With this monitoring web site now available, if any of you notice the same scenario and side affects, please post giovonni

My strip throat test was negative, but my doctor still gave me antibiotics, he thinks it might be in my sinus system, but no cold or flu symptoms?
