Mystery illness update

So at six weeks now my mild to moderate (depending on the day) sore throat is still with me. I have no temperature and just recently developed slight congestion with an occasional cough. The back of my throat looks like a science experiment and my tonsils are the size of gum galls!!

I have been tested for strep & mono twice and came up negative each time. My doctor talked about running other tests and possibly visiting a head & throat specialist for a second opinion.

On one hand I do not like being sick but on the other hand it is kind of cool to have something doctor's can not diagnose. I feel like I should be on an episode of House. What if they discover a new disease and name it after me? It could be called the Duane the tub syndrome or Duaneifovna-virus. Maybe a antibiotic will be named after me? I can just see it now, a shot called Duaneious. It will cure that pesky sore throat associated with the Duaneifovna-virus!!!
