Needing answers please

I don't know where to post this question so I hope I am in the right area.  Sorry if I am not. For over a year now, I have been so exhausted.  It is to the point that I have to force myself to do normal daytime tasks such as washing dishes.  I take 2 naps a day and go to bed early and nothing helps. I wake up just as tired as I did when I went to bed.  My body aches and I run low grade fevers. I have chills. Plus occassional sore throats that come and go.  The exhausting feeling is taking a toll on my life.  I have been to the doctor a million times and they all say it is depression.  I have been on all kinds of medicine but if it were depression wouldn't I feel better by now?  I went to the hospital for discounted lab work thinking maybe I am anemic but that was fine.  The things that weren't is this...

aniongap- 8.5  normal is 10
CA-8.3   normal is 8.5
cholhdl- 3.1  normal is 4.0
T4 is 7.9 but within normal range

I am at a loss and I can't stand feeling like this anymore. I am scared.  If anyone has any information for me I would greatly appreciate it.

I am reluctant to suggest this, but have you had an HIV test?

Change physicians. I have very little tolerance for idiots in my life and anyone who diagnoses your condition in the manner you describe (and I am not sure he did so, because all we have is hearsay) should not be treating human beings.

There are a dozen possibilities besides HIV, but you appear to immunocompromised. Mold is unlikely, but not an unreasonable possibility.

You have to find some who can give you a diagnosis.

Flee your current health care provider and find someone who takes you seriously.
