Anyone else got this damned lingering cold/throat thing?

I was at a party tonight and encountered others with this exact same PITA, who apparently came down with it the exact day I did (started noticing a week ago Thursday night.)
Starts with tiredness, icky throat, low-grade headache (intermittent), a little digestive funkiness and some achiness. Trying to sleep it off seems to make no difference. Throat just stays a little swollen with no change interminably . . . worst time is laying down/trying to sleep-- you feel like yout throat is going to close, even though it's only a little swollen; you want to cough but it's completely unsatisfying. You're not overtly sick enough for anyone to notice but feel rundown and then demoralized every additional day it doesn't get any better . . .
Sound off.

I've had the same thing off and on since late Winter, I assumed it was allergies. I've also had really watery
eyes this entire Spring. The generic Allegra doesn't really seem to be helping over the Zyrtec.

I've had it since Feb. Just won't let go.

Hmmm. And before this started I think I went the longest without being sick that I have in years.

Knock on wood, I have so far missed it this time. It sounds familiar though. I think that's how my six week long case of bronchitis began last fall.

Fritz, get that checked out, stat!
