Allright, for about 5 months now I am constantly sick. Sick for about a week straight, then I feel better for about 4 days and Im sick again. This is constant and is really debilitating. I have flu like symptoms, Very sore and swollen throat, a productive cough with mucus, My back aches terribly between my shoulders, my chest is heavy, runny nose, plugged up feeling in my head, very tired.
This will just not go away and I dont understand, while everyone else gets sick once a year (majorly anyway) I am sick all the time. I was like this when I was younger and when I moved from Alaska it seemed to get better, but now its back and its really making things hard. I have no health Insurence so Im kinda just looking for people who have possibly suffered the same thing. Please help

In general, no one can nor should anyone try to diagnose your medical condition. You must get to a doctor for proper diagnosis. Since you do not have medical insurance, you should look for a free clinic in your current city or town. You must try this and must do it.
Additionally, all hospitals that accept federal funding are prohibited from turning anyone away. You can go to a hospital and get proper treatment. You will have to negotiate a payment plan later with the hospital based on ability to pay. Don't you want to get this diagnosed and resolved so you can continue living your life?

I had similar symptoms - very vague, seemed like everything was going south on me, nothing definitive - and I was fortunate enough to go to the ER one night with a kidney infection and a fever so high I was covered in a red rash, and the young intern - right away - diagnosed me, correctly, as having lupus. Why don't you have that checked? It's a curious disease related to the immune system where the body, literally, attacks itself, so it can cause all kinds of symptoms that baffle doctors.

sorry to hear that. i had something like this 7 years ago. it sounds like you have allergies to something. i used to get sore throats like crazy. go to a free health clinic to see what you are allergic too and they will give the right meds. good luck to you. drink a lot of water and plenty of sleep and take vitamins and saline as well as decongestants.

This sounds like you have Mono. The only thin is that you have had this for more than a month. I have known people to have it for a very long time though.
