Sick for 5 weeks, now feel like there's a ball of mucus in my throat ?!

Well let me give you the run down. I got sick on Feb 20th after my kids were sick. I had fever, chills, body aches, horrible sore throat, couldn't even swallow water. Finally on the 22nd I was able to get up and go to the doctors. The nurse said I had tonsilltis and gave me antibiotics. I took those exactly as I should have for 7 days, and was STILL sick.

So instead of going back, I looked around on the internet and most of what i read said that if it was a virus, antibiotics wouldn't help anyway so i decided to wait a few more days and let it go away on its own. The sore throat persisted, but the other symptoms got better and I didn't physically feel too bad. I had no cough or runny nose whatsoever.

About a week later I had this feeling of something stuck in my throat. Not mucus, just something similar to when you eat and it gets stuck there? And I'd swallow and it'd be painful. When I ate, it would go away for awhile then come back. Of course I hit google up and found out it could be a number of things, but silent acid reflux seemed plausible. I had reflux in the past, as well as spasms in my esophagus before (don't know what its called). It finally went away after a few days.

Now this is basically the 5th week since it all started. I am either sick AGAIN with something else, or still sick and not over the first thing. I felt like c**p Fri & Sat nights, my joints were aching, my throat was sore, and I sound and feel congested. Well now nothing hurts,, it's just that I can still hardly breathe through my nose so I'm having to keep my mouth open which you can imagine is very annoying. I did not sleep a wink last night either. And to top it all off, when I talk it's very obvious that I have some phlegm stuck in my throat. you can hear the thickness of it and I can feel it. The past two days I've been trying to get it up, I've hauked and hauked and only little bits of mucus mixed with blood come up (GROSS, I KNOW).

I am so sick of all of this !! I like to think I rarely get sick and when I do, never very bad or for very long.

The worst part of all may be that I've started exercising and eating healthy the past few weeks!! And now I can barely make it to the gym because I can't breathe properly! I just want some kind of suggestions, or advice, or even commiseration from someone who had something similar happen to them !
