General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI.
Thanks for an elucidate history.
The fibromyalgia you have can be due to chronic respiratory tract infection.
I would suggest you the following:
First of all get an opinion of an ENT Surgeon, get endoscopy and clinical examination done, investigations like blood and urine tests to rule out diseases like diabetes as they can cause chronic problems, CT scan of the sinuses as this too is one of the commonest cause of mucus formation in the throat as a secondary effect.
The treatment will then be specific and long enough to get you a cure.
I find this answer helpful
