Virus That Lasts 6 mths or Longer?

Just curious if anyone has had a virus that has lasted 6 mths or longer. I've been to my DDS and MD several times in the past 6 mths for a unresolved concern. My gland was a bit swollen, sens., the back of my tongue feels sore and tingly, as well as my left tonsil is a bit bigger then the other. Doc said I have no infection that she can see, DDS says I have no infection that she can see. Doc said probably a virus body is trying to fight off... but 6 mths of it? This ache in the back of my tongue only comes on after I've been up for a while and using my chords, throat, etc. I'm really getting worried now and as soon as I can afford it I am going in for blood tests. Anyone experienced this themselves? Thanks for your help.

I've not had the symptoms that you've had, but I had doctors keep telling me I had a virus when they didn't know what was wrong with me or didnt' want to test further to find out. I pressed further, and found out I had a chronic health condition that is most certainly NOT a virus but an autoimune problem, similar to lupus.
Reply:Like what the first person answered. You could possibly have an autoimmune disorder. When you're able to, get blood tests. Such as a complete blood count (cbc), get your thyroid levels checked, Maybe you should also get checked for sjogren's syndrome (your eye doctor should be able to test for this), also get an HIV test to rule that out, maybe a lyme disease test (they can order a BAT test for that). I'm basically suggesting anything and everything I can think of just so you have a better chance of finding out what's going on. If they can't find anything, maybe you could have fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. Sometimes a sore tongue can be a sign of fibromyalgia and also sjogren's syndrome I think.





Hope you feel better soon!
