Struggling with Chronic Fatigue and No Answers

Hi! I’ve struggled with extreme fatigue along with a ton of other symptoms for most of my life. I had bad mono when I was 8- I’ve never been the same. Throughout the years, I’ve been retested for mono, thyroid tests, blood work,ultrasounds, etc. My TSH and cortisol are sometimes high sometimes normal, prolactin high. But offer TSH is normal. Ive had a swollen neck, a feeling like there is a lump in my throat, trouble swelling and shortness of breath for quite sometime. I have swollen lymph nodes, tonsils, and what looks like viral rashes when I’m feeling most fatigued. Lately my memory has been really bad, and sometimes my speech even slurs. I get dizzy, weak, bone tired, and tender to touch. My abdomen is particularly tender. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I’m so tired of feeling this way. I’m only 37, I want to get better. I want to have more energy for my daughter. I don’t want whatever is going on to cause permanent damage. I’m so tired of giving doctors so much money and them telling me nothing is wrong. There is nothing right about the way my body feels. Thanks so much in advance.

I'm so sorry hon, It sounds like you have chronic mono. I honestly get almost every one of those symptoms off and on all the time. Truly, the only thing we can do is try and treat our symptoms.
