Chronic nausea and canker sores
by Scared98, May 13, 2008 09:17PM
I am 18 and female. I got mono this past september during my first semester at college and recovered by late november. From my mono, I also got night sweats and nausea, but it all went away by Thanksgiving. However, in January I went through a very stressful period in my life. Ever since then, I have had chronic nausea and night sweats. I have also been getting canker sores in the back of my throat lately. Also, ever since I had mono, I have had one swollen lymph node on the right side of my neck that will just not go away. I also get a severe headache about once a week. The most debilitating symptom is my CONSTANT fatigue. I wake up in the morning feeling tired and I get at least 8 hours of sleep a night. I have started exercising and eating right, but it didn't really help. I am so stressed about my health, I fear that I have HIV or cancer. I got blood tests done in februrary and everything came back normal, including HIV. but, i still obsess over it. The weird thing is that I have never had sex, only oral- once! I can't figure out what is wrong with me and I am depressed most of the day. I am on 50mg of Zoloft but my doctor is weening me off. I have seen 4 different doctors and they all tell me it is just stress and anxiety, but I have been stressed before and I have NEVER felt like this.

Did you have chicken pox when you were little? And did you ever here of herpes. Pretty sure herpes 3 types of them,1-2-3. Anyway, my husband was just like you for a long time. I will tell you he had headaches all the time, accompanied by throwing up, sweating even drinking water, cold sore after cold sore, napped all the time, and then nobody could help him. But one day camping this cramp came in his leg and a few days later, he ended up with herpes zoster. His chicken pox never left his system. Go to a neurologist. See if your doctor will agree, he can check your white blood cell count, it will be up. I hope this helps ya.
