Sick for months could use help

Hi,
Im a college athlete who has been feeling ill since around St. Patty's day. It started with a sore throat and swollen glands in my neck but no fever. It has progressed to a headache with severe dizziness which was thought to be a form of viral meningitis, fatigue, constant elevated liver enzymes, slight hypothyroid that I have to take synthroid for, and some joint pain. I have have seen a ENT who believed it wasnt somthing with my ears, nose, or throat, also an Endocrinologist who believed my im not truely hypothyroid. I have been tested for strep, mono, hepatitus, lymes, std's like clamydia/gonohrea and hiv, also have had extensive liver testing with gastro. All came back negative. I have taken a z-pack which did not helpo, also levaquin which did help for a bit while i was on it. Im very frustrated and looking for a second opinion. I feel like my doctors think im crazy because i truely have not felt well in so long. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

mri, vng, vemp all came back normal. Dr thinks its viral, maybe stress/anxiety cause by synthroid or sinuses

NO it is not due to synthroid .. It is no where mentioned in synthroid side effects list..
Keep trying to find its cause , get to the root of it.

I was tested for cmv, lupus, and had my b12 levels tested again all normal. I was wondering if there neurological problems I have been having could be from taking synthroid?

Hi,

Did the test for chlamydia was bivalent ??
I mean did you tested for Chlamydia pneumonia as well along with Chlamydia trachomatis. ??
It could be Chlamydia pneumonia .!
the same has been happening to me but i had some more symptoms than you. Doctors say that i m fit and fine but i know i am not alright and i found out that i had Chlamydia pneumonia .... And it gives symptoms like that and right now i am having Azithromycin & Doxycycline and my head feels so fine .
Before that i was feeling like i am not conscious enough , means now i feel like i have been sleeping all these days ..
Let me know how it goes ,
Hope you feel good soon.
