Hello everyone, I've been having a hard time health wise lately and my main concern is that my tonsils are still inflamed after about 5 weeks. (There is a TL/DR version at the end if you wish to skip!)

I first started out not feeling quite right and having trouble eating/swallowing (because my mouth was too dry), then came a fever, chills, bad breath, and a whole bunch of "flu-like" things. I didn't really have much of a cough or anything though (2 nights or so), and minor sneezing etc. I also had a couple bouts of diarrhea, felt nauseous a few times, lost a little weight (5lbs or so). 

I went to a clinic because I couldn't get hold of my Dr, and after a pretty thorough examination she decided I probably had flu or virus and that was causing all my symptoms.

Then things got to the point where I thought I was going to die, my arms weren't working properly, my fingers felt extremely weak, my legs were like jelly, double vision and I felt like I was walking drunk.

I ended up in the ER. 

ECG was fine, chest x rays were clear, and after a ton of blood tests they diagnosed me with "likely flu and anxiety". That diagnosis helped me feel better until the next day where I started to wonder; 

"What if they missed something serious?".

I then had an appointment scheduled with my doctor, and I felt pretty good. But then mind started racing again, and I kept worrying, so decided to go ER again about 4-5 days later to get checked out again.

This time they tested for mono, flu, and strep, and all 3 of those came back negative.

So "virus with anxiety" was my new diagnosis.

The hospital then phoned and said to go to a walk in clinic to get my tonsils checked again if it was still bothering me, so I did. The 5th doctor I had seen in about 3 weeks at that point also tested me for strep and it came back negative yet again.

5 doctors, none of whom are convinced I have anything more than anxiety/virus, none of whom are concerned about any of nodes I can feel (they are small, squishy and movable), and I still feel like c**p!

TL;DR:

My current symptoms are:

  • Dry mouth (mostly morning)
  • Tonsils still looking red/swollen (both sides),
  • I can feel nodes in all kinds of places (small, squishy and movable 
  • Mood swings.
  • Chills (hot flashes sometimes too)
  • Nausea
  • Constipation (I think it might be caused by Ativan)
  • Minor occasional tinnitus
  • Feeling weak/shaky
  • Anxious (Well, I was diagnosed with anxiety!)

My doctor prescribed me with Sandoz Momesetone (sp?) for post nasal drip, and Ativan (0.5mg) for the anxiety. So some of my current symptoms could be being caused by those 2 meds.

Has/is anyone else experiencing these symptoms?

I'm early 30's male in Canada, (and going insane with worry!)

Any help/replies greatly appreciated!
