2045.0. "Sore throats -- any other riders experiencing them?" by CIMNET::MJOHNSON (Matt Johnson) Mon Aug 19 1991 10:00

    I went out with a friend for a about a 30 mile ride Friday evening,
    and for another 30-miler yesterday at about the same time.  At dinner,
    my riding partner started complaining about a sore throat.  This 
    morning, I woke up with a sore throat as well.  Is there something
    in the air, or did we just give each other strep?

	I've been battling sore throats and swollen glands all summer. It comes and goes. Had the doctor check me out for strep and mono but it came up negative. tim
2045.2	If it is, I pity you	KIRKTN::GGOODMAN	Number 1 in a field of 1	`Tue Aug 20 1991 00:11`	7
	Could it be hay fever? One of my symptoms is a rough, swollen feeling at the back of my throat. If it's been all summer, Tim, then it could be your problem. Graham.

	RE: .2 Hey me too...I have allways had "hay fever" since I can rember and this past fall my symptoms changed from sneezy wattery eyes to a minor swollen glands and sinus headache...seems to relived best by a couple of days of "Hard" riding. Perhaps its a result of some new funky stuff drifting our way from those high stacks out west... PM

	Me too Seems like I have just about have always had it. I have attributed the soar throat to the hard breathing during racing and some training. Also gulping water and food like a pig doesnt help. The swollen glands happen when I need to take a few rest days, as a mater of fact this is one of the signs I look for when I am real tired. Wayne V
2045.5	me too...	SALEM::ORRIS		`Wed Aug 21 1991 10:29`	12
	I also get a mild sore throat from time to time after riding but it never seems to develope into anything... I thought that it was because of the temp. or humidity of the air... Goes away after an hour or so... just a threory..... jim
2045.6	More than minor irritation: the flu!	CIMNET::MJOHNSON	Matt Johnson	`Wed Aug 21 1991 17:40`	4
	Well, my riding partner just had some post-ride soreness. But me? WHAM! I was out yesterday, and I'm here today without my voice, and with a bottle of aspirin. So my question turned out to be spurious....
