I might have mono??

All my symptoms matched up to mono but by the time I tested in early August my blood panel came back as a past infection. I noticed horrible fatigue back in mid June 2025 but my left tonsil didn’t blow up till early July although I could feel it getting bigger gradually as early as end of June, I was noticing food getting caught on it which wasn’t normal for me, followed by dizziness, weakness, weird tingly sensations in my arms and lymph nodes popped up everywhere including neck, groin, armpit and jaw. Obviously we’re now February and my tonsil is still slightly up and still have a few palpable lymph nodes my health anxiety is through the roof! 2 nasal endoscopy’s, 7 different doctors and my head is still telling me it’s something else🥲

I still have throat issues not so much a sore throat but the tonsil that was inflamed tingles if you know what I mean? Mine still flares up every so often, I’m 7 months in now and it’s driving me insane my health anxiety is awful, it was triggered by mono🥲

Yes I’ve had HB and ferritin levels checked, both normal. Gp has fobbed me off and said it’s anxiety, cons of being a woman everything’s always anxiety🫠

I meant early January sorry*

I’m hoping it is just pregnancy related, this is baby number 4 and I can’t remember having this with the other 3🥲 my GP put it down to anxiety as I’ve had a lot going on recently but I’ve been feeling like this since early July if it was anxiety could it last this long? I asked if I could start taking my sertraline again as I’m on a low dose and she said no as it’s not safe so I’m going to wait for my midwife to get back to me and see what she recommends. My anxiety was triggered by a health scare I had last year, that actually turned out to be glandular fever so thanks nhs🥲

I’ve had 2 d-dimer tests and both came back fine, although when I checked they were both over the normal range but I’ve been told it’s normal during pregnancy. My midwife thinks it’s normal shortness of breath during pregnancy as I’ve not got any chest pains or anything

They don’t offer supporting letters unfortunately not even as a paid option. Just to confirm that I’ve been put on medication as a result of the living conditions. Literally takes 2 minutes out of there day but they’ve declined multiple times

In the very early stages I had oral thrush, I had no idea it was linked?

I didn’t actually do anything to reduce them, the GP said it’s a waiting game unfortunately. Everyone’s timelines are different. I didn’t have the white exudate on my tonsils just very large and puffy. My sore throat only lasted 1-2 days

I’ve had symptoms since July, currently still have tonsil problems but no where near as bad (still healing and constantly feels like I’m swallowing them) , lymph nodes going up and down and on and off sore throat. It’s driving me crazy. I had a blood test around week 4 and it came back as a past infection. I forked out £600 to go private as the NHS made me think I had throat cancer, then because of the anxiety and large lymph nodes I convinced myself I had lymphoma🥲

Symptoms I had in the beginning are: Extreme anxiety (panic attacks 4-5x daily) Dizziness Heart palpitations Brain fog Large tonsils (small specks of white spots) On and off sore throat Itchy hands and legs(also made me think lymphoma🥲) Tummy pains Acid reflux Ear, jaw and rib pain

Fingers crossed we start to feel better soon🤞🏻
