I have had a sore throat and feeling of queasiness for five weeks now. I start to feel hungry, eat something, but then start to feel nauseous again. I have lost half a stone in weight and am starting to worry that I am never going to get rid of it. My husband has also got something similar, but neither of us has actually been sick. Three weeks ago, the local chemist said it was probably a virus and it would go within 2 - 3 weeks, but it shows no sign of going yet.
