Symptoms of autoimmune disease

[Matthew H]

Here's my story:
All my life, I've never really gotten sick. A cold 2x a year was about as far as it went.
About 3 years ago I got a sty, went to the doctor & was put on antibiotics. Before the sty even cleared up, I got a throat infection. This was accompanied by swollen gums, and canker sores.
I got more antibiotics, and got better. Since then I have been sick at least once a month. I've been to several doctors who refuse to test for anything, and keep referring me to someone else. I've had my tonsils removed after getting 6 throat infections in 1 year, but I'm still sick all the time. My glands have been swollen ever since I was sick 3 years ago. Could I possibly have an autoimmune disease?

have your doctors tested for HIV virus? Autoimmune disorders do not seem to fit any of the above symptoms.

go to several doctors... if you KNOW there's something wrong... don't take no for an answer...be a bitch.. push,,, you know how you feel and no one not even doctors can tell you how you feel.... if your that worred go see a specialist.
