I'm no doc by any means, but I had something similar -- though not as severe -- about 20 years ago. It was right before graduating from college and of course I was up all night studying and finishing projects (not to mention packing to move home and partying
), also working extra hours and it all took its toll. Got a major bug that I couldn't shake.
Took three rounds of antibiotics before any improvement. Then, I was diagnosed as "borderline anemic." (Initially, I think they thought I was anorexic because I was quite thin back then -- under 100 pounds. If they only knew how I l
ove food.
) But, they put me on super duper iron pills for a month, did one more round of antibiotics ... and it was gone. Apparently I had a serious iron deficiency, that coupled with my beat up immune system, just kept me sick.
For your sake, I hope you will get similar diagnosis. Try to stay positive and try (I know it's almost impossible) to not worry. That will only make your body weaker. Good luck!
