undiagnosed could be anything

so i have been struggling with fatigue and my neck felt puffy since last august but then i came down with pneumonia which was diagnosed close to october but started in september.

but prior to that in spring i asked a primary care doctor to feel my neck and she couldnt feel anything.

i was anemic in november with elevated platelets at least. and i saw an endocrinologist. in january my lymph nodes were considered enlarged but within normal limits. but my thyroid was considered normal in imaging.

i responded well to the antibiotic. but still have lung issues. shortness of breath and oxygen drops on exertion but not while sitting or standing normally. i also run some low grade fevers.

last week i had a breast biopsy which was benign and believe i caught a random minor chest infection.

i tested negative for lyme but never had a tick since iw as a child and im in my 30s. i dont really go into woods. and then the same person who suggested the test said it was probably inaccurate.

i feel like im running into walls.

sometimes im scared this is in my head because i had depression after trauma and a bad break up. people online suggested a few things including lyme but also cancer bu t im not sure since really all this could be anything.

i tested positive for ana speckled pattern but some tests were negative further with some autoimmmune which made me feel like i was in circles again.

im scared because the fatigue is relentless and i cant do anything. even a family member thinks im just lazy.
