I still don't have a diagnosis as to what is wrong with me...been 6 years now. Back in 2006 I was treated for Lyme Disease which I am still not sure if I had or not. Anyway, they started me on antibiotics (amoxicillin-probenecid-ketek). Five days later I came down with a terrible sore throat which felt like strep. I was tested but it wasn't. I want to say that I never had a sore throat at the beginning of my illness (October 2004).
This sore throat lasted 10 months..I had it everyday and it was very painful. Then one day in October 2007 it just went away and I never had it again.
I was on antibiotics for a total of 30 months but am still not well.
I have been to one of the top lyme doctors in NY and he had no clue why I had the sore throat and none of my other doctors knew why either.
So I am wondering if anyone here has any idea what could have caused this to happen. I know that having sore throats is a symptom of CFS but I never had it until I started the antibiotics. Could they have caused a virus to reactivate? I never had any positives on any of the viral testing I had.
I am just trying to figure out what type of doctor I should see next. My pcp is talking about sending me to Boston. I feel as though I am getting worse as each day goes by and I really don't know what to do.
There are so many wonderful articles on this site and I am learning and reading as much as I can. I have had so many wierd symptoms and strange things happen that I don't know who can help....
