Unknown Medicial Condition?
14/F
In January of this year, I was feeling fine until near the end of the month. I started having mild chest pains. However, they started to increase in pain and in my body. It's an achy sort of pain. I'm really weak now, two months later. I've also lost 9 pounds since then. I cough a lot as well. I've been to the doctor's four times within those two months and the hospital. They offered to test my blood, but I have a horrible horrible, not even funny, fear of having my blood drawn, so I told them no. They didn't do it, but they did swab my nostrils and gave me a chest X-ray. They didn't find anything wrong with me, but they think I have mono. Is this possible or should I force myself to try the blood test? (Note that at my last blood test, I cried a lot. I scream too... It's immature, I know, but I'm just horrified of the needle.)
Please, I really want to get better and I'm sort of confused.
Additional info: been taking pain relievers, but they stopped working. I'm also seeing a psychologist. I don't exercise very much. I had a boyfriend and we kissed a few times, but we broke up a few days ago. I think that's it.

Would you rather not know what's wrong with you than have a little prick?
Get the blood tests done, please.
A fear of having blood taken isn't unheard of and even if you do cry, shout and scream, it's worth it, so you can get on the road to recovery.
Get better soon.

Please go ahead and get your blood drawn. It might be scary, but it has to be better than not knowing what's wrong.
