I have the Symptoms of Mono, but test neg, Any Ideas??
Question:
Any ideas would be helpful, the doctor just told me if i start to feel worse go back...
Answers:
Has your doctor brought up the possibility of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? I've heard of people having mono-like symptoms with it. Also, my mother had mono in her twenties and now is diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, so that could be something to look into also. I hope you can find a diagnosis and get well soon, best wishes.

Why are you asking us? Go to your doctor! He's paid to diagnose you. I mean, what if I said you had leprosy or something. It will just scare you.
My son had recurring strep throat over a period of a month or so and the doctor thought he might be re-infecting himself each time he started to get better by using items that might carry the germs, such as his toothbrush or a water bottle he keeps in the fridge and re-uses-- anything like that which you would use again, like stored food, water, make-up, chapstick--can carry the germs and make you sick again. The doctor said he should get a new toothbrush and start using it as soon as he got over the latest attack of sore throat.
I don't know if that was the reason he got better, but he did recover from the sore throat. So you might give that a try.
Have you also considered that you may be having an allergic reaction to some food?
I think in some cases, it's just necessary to have the tonsils removed. Maybe you should go to another doctor and get a second opinion. Doctors can make mistakes. I know from personal experience in a bad way.
