Let me preface this by saying I've been to the doctor a dozen times, and this is still happening. Also, I am NOT SEXUALLY ACTIVE nor used any drugs, needle or otherwise - no HIV here.
Symptoms:
Swollen lymph nodes in neck
Strong pain in swallowing
Sore skin, sore back
Fever (102 max), sinus-type headache
Constant need to spit (post-nasal drip)
General joint ache, general malaise
Tests taken:
X-Ray of teeth
X-Ray of sinus cavities
Chest X-Ray
CT scan of head/sinuses
CT scan of neck region
Numerous mono/strep tests
Numerous blood/stool/urine tests
Symptoms have come and gone for the past 8 months or so. Typically symptoms will persist for 1-2 weeks, followed by 2-3 weeks of less/no symptoms, then a recurrence. Symptoms during the illness period are debilitating.
I've taken many antibiotics, both orally and via IV. The most effective treatment was 3 days of antibiotics/fluids via IV during a hospital visit 3 weeks ago, but that only delayed symptoms for 3 weeks
