If anyone can help me and possibly guide me in the right direction, it would mean a great deal to me..I am a 21 year old college student; pretty active and fit guy. About 5 months ago (may of 2005) I became very ill. At first I though it was just a flu virus I had came down with but it began to gradually get worse. I began to have a nauseus feeling in my stomach, very bad dehydrated feeling no matter how much water I consume, and the worse case of fatigue and sleepiness I have ever felt in my life. It finally got to the point where I could no long work at my job and my life has pretty much been on hault ever since..As days turned into weeks and weeks into months, my symptoms began to worsen..Besides my constant abnormal fatigue, I would find it very very difficult to wake up whenever I slept..It feels amost like being in a drugged up coma type condition where I want to wake up but something inside of me won't let me making me struggle just to even get up. I have vomitted on a number of occasions sometimes for no reason. Through all of this I have lost a whopping 30 lbs.! Each day I feel as if I am going to throw up..I feel like I have the worse flu or something of my life. My neck is stiff, I have swollen glands and lymph nodes on my neck and armpit. Now for the worst part: since the end of may until now, I have been back and forth from the hospital over 20 times! It has depressed me soo much now because they cannot tell me anything! I have gotten tested for everything hoping that something would come back poitive so I would at least know what is wrong with me. I have gotten tested for diabetes, thyroid, kidneys, liver function, mono-spot, mri of my brain, cat scan, and even aids! All of these have came back either negative or normal. The doctor I am working with seems to be clueless at this point as to what to do because he doesn't even know..So now I feel like its a waste of time to continue even going in hopes of getting proper treatment or help. I am very depressed. I start school this coming monday and I am still very sick. Its so hard to even get out of my bed. I have been sick for about 5 months now! I have never needed more help in my life until right now. I feel very alone and as if no one really understands how I feel. Please anyone, if you read this and can help me, anything, it would mean so muchto me..This has become a very emotional time for me. Please help me.

Hi there! Have you thought of getting a second opinion from another Dr., possibly an internist, have you checked out chronic fatigue syndrome on the internet, I am no Dr., it could even be stress, I would definitely think about a second opinion, hope you start feeling better soon, let us know what you find out.
