what's wrong?

I've managed to be ill yet again. I think it's the flu again. For more than two months straight I've been sick. I don't understand. Why? In all honesty, it frightens me a little. I get the most dreadful fevers and I just lie there. It's as if I'm numb or paralyzed. I know if I get some medicine it might help it go down but instead I just stay there burning and burning. Mayoclinic.com has become a regular for me. It's pinterest, facebook, and then mayo clinic symptom checker. these are what come up:

Influenza (flu) i have 5 out 7 symptoms.
this is very possible as it's going around, but for two months??
Mononucleosis 4 out of 6.
this is highly improbable as it's nickname is the "kissing diesease" and I don't do a lot of kissing. it's too germy - kissing that is. please don't judge. I have issues with germs. It's been a serious problem in my home, family, and other relationships. if you saw germs like I do you probably wouldn't kiss so much either.
Common cold 3 out of 7.
not sure about this one. I do ache all over but the fevers are quite unusual to be a cold.
Strep throat 4 out 7.
nope. my throat isn't sore enough.
Tonsillitis 4 out of 8.
very possible. I've always had throat problems. but not confident this is what i have.
Acute sinusitis 2 out of 4.
nope. I haven't been a boogie monster hardly at all.
Hay fever 2 out of 5.
no! what the crap mayo clinic. the allergies i've had thus far this Spring season has been dust.
Epiglottitis 2 out of 5.
oh, try saying that five times fast. the systems tend to have more breathing difficulties, and I've been breathing okay. it's fun to say, though.

It looks like the flu and mono are the top picks.

gah. i should just go to the doctor's.

bloody, bloody %#$@!

KATHRYN.
