so for the past two months i have been sick my symptems are soar throat, swollen tonsils, fever, and stuffy nose, im really week and dizy. they have put me on medicine for strep twice and each time i was on it i felt better but after it stopped i would get sick again. so they stopped and tested me and i dont have strep, and i dont have mono, and the doctors have no idea what i have. i am so sick of being sick i feel like just killing myself i dont want to feel like this anymore..
may be you only get an Influenza (flu) or allergic with something when you breathe that makes you suffer that kind of symptoms. but you make it worse, may be by having a stress at work, having a quarrel with someone you love or other psychology manners. Sometimes your mind overcontrols your body! Since the power of mind is greater than the power of muscle.
Just try to be positive, by trying different alternatives of medication. For me i try to drink fresh coconut water(since i live near a beach), had plenty of rest, and follow the doctor's advice and it works
The cure of those symptoms according to the traditional chinese drugstore is Worm pills (pills made from black soil worm)

A lot of people get really frustrated when they can't get any answers about what is wrong with them. Unfortunately, a lot of doctors just assume that a person has an illness without doing the proper diagnostic testing. Most of the time, they're right, but sometimes they get it wrong, and it sounds like they did with you. I agree with the other post, it sounds like you might have a chronic tonsillitis infection. From what I've read, antibiotics don't always get all of the bacteria causing the infection in some tonsillitis cases. I'm assuming you've just been seeing a regular family practice doctor. I would INSIST on getting referred to an ENT specialist (Ear, Nose, and Throat). They have much more training than family practice doctors and they could likely help find the cause of your problem.
Also, I was alarmed when I read that you feel like killing yourself. I have a friend who waited 5 years for a diagnosis of a very rare condition, which unfortunately is life-threatening. She's still alive 10 years later though, and making the most of life. She too, thought of ending her life when her pain got too severe, but she put her trust in God to get her through. I'd encourage you to talk to someone, anyone, who you are close to about how you're feeling (preferrably and adult. Sorry, I don't know how old you are). This isn't something that you have to keep bottled up inside. I think most of us have at some point felt like we would rather die than go through something, and it really helps to share your feelings with someone. Don't worry, they won't label you a psych case! I guarantee that they'll take you seriously. Good luck! I'll keep you in my prayers! [ ekofire13's advice column | Ask ekofire13 A Question ]

Sabine answered Tuesday May 8 2007, 9:57 pm: You do exactly as the doctors say. You should get plenty of rest, fluids, and nutrition. Avoid junk foods and eat fresh, whole foods (like a whole apple as opposed to apple juice) as much as you can. You can also take vitamin C and echinacea and zinc tablets as those are shown to help with illness. Avoid non-fructose sugars (and limit those), junk foods, and processed foods like t.v. dinners. Get exercise to the extent that you are able. If you're dizzy, for example, choose a recumbent bike if you belong to a gym that has one, rather than running. Get enough sunshine, like about 20 minutes per day on your skin, and plenty of fresh air.
Other than that, don't give up. Keep trying to get better until you either are better or you figure out what's wrong.
