I'm sick ALL THE TIME. i seriously can't remember the last time i felt ok.. maybe april?

i'm 17 years old, i shouldn't feel like crap all the time. i missed so many days of school that i decided to be homeschooled so i wouldn't fail for missing too many days. every day i'm tired and weak, have a headache, a stomachache, and i can't concentrate or think. when i was 15 i had surgery to remove an adrenal gland because i had a tumor on it that was causing me to make tons of cortisol (cushing's syndrome). my natural state, when i'm not sick or when i feel ok, is very athletic and happy and social. now i am in bed most of the time and i only see my boyfriend on weekends. being sick all the time and not being able to do anything makes me really depressed. and a lot of times, i catch flubugs too. like right now i have a stuffy nose and postnasal drip and a sinus headache, which i've had for about a week. it's terrible. i get a flubug about once a month.

what do you think is wrong with me? i am afraid that i am going to be sick the rest of my life. i don't need this. please help

i had my cortisol checked about a month ago; they've been checking it every month and they say it's fine.

I would go to a doctor to at least have it checked out.

well, your parents should have taken you to the doctor before now to have you checked out and not just having your cortisol checked. there has to be something causing this. you shouldn't be sick this long. i really hope they take you to a doctor and find out what's wrong. you will be in my prayers.

Wow, I think you should ask your doctor to test further. Sounds like your immune system is compromised. Do you take vitamins? Don't let your doctor give you the run around, insist that he/she evaluate you until you are satisfied. Maybe you should even look into seeing another doctor. As such a young lady you should be having the time of your life right now! Any significant family history of illness? I feel for you, I'd be depressed too. Hope things turn around.

You have too many things going on not to see your doctor. Get to the bottom of what is wrong. You're too young to be missing so many school days and feeling tired and weak. Put your mind at rest by seeing the doctor. It could be something minor causing so much trouble.
