What is wrong with me?!


Question: What is wrong with me?
I am 18 years old and it all started on New Year - I got tonsillitis and was admitted to hospital with dehydration and acute tonsillitis. I was also constantly vomitting and the pain was excruciating!

I was discharged 4 days later but still vomitting and the infection was still there on the tonsils. 2 weeks later I went to the GP as I was suffering from bad diarrhea and extreme headaches, as well as constantly tired all the time. The GP said I had a swollen liver and suspected glandular fever which I was tested for but it came back negative. I have all of the symptoms of glandular fever and recently had an MRI scan on my brian for the headaches (waiting on results).

My hips and knees keep swelling up and really hurting and I can't sleep on a night. I keep getting flu - like symptoms such as aching all over, especially down my back. I also find it hard to function through the day and constantly need rests.

The GP said she is just going to keep monitoring me every few weeks and I should rest - which is hard as my driving test is coming up and I have not attended college since last year, so I am really behind with coursework.

Does anyone have any information which can help me to try and get a diagnosis? Or does anyone have an idea what is wrong with me? I am so frustrated!

Thankyou

I think it does sound very much like mono. You need a blood test to know for sure. And the main treatment is rest.
