Thanks Valmai.
It would appear that I have a yeast fungus throat infection and the more I read about it the more I am amazed that the symptoms were not recognised immediately.It would appear that nearly all the population carry this infection, male and females ,which can be triggered by being run down,an offshoot of taking steroids,a possible after effect from taking penicillin,inhalers and the list goes on.It is fairly common in babies and females and is known as thrush.This was not sexually transmitted I hasten to add (we are just good friends).I should start the proper treatment today.
