Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Sore Throat Along With Blisters On Uvula

Hello, I am desperately trying to find answers to my health symptoms that began suddenly one morning when I woke on July 6, 2011. I woke with a swollen, sore throat with small, blister like sores near my uvula which to this day have never gone away. I have seen many doctors in these past 4 years but the doctors love to pass me off to another doctor and it s never ending while I continually become more sick. It has had signs of a virus that flames up and I become sick, barely able to move for about 9 days and then I am ok for a while, but remember these initial signs never have gone away. Today I am fighting to find answers because my symptoms have progressed. I had one of my flare ups about 3-4 months now but this one has not gone away at all! I am so sick and honestly feel like I am dying, I am in dire need of some answers. My symptoms now are swelling under my jaw and down my neck stopping just passed my thyroid, swelling in my face in front of my ears, the swelling has always been worse on the left side, I have swelling as well in my mouth where you can barely see my red tonsils, initial sores along with new sores and sores on my uvula which is red and sore, the rear of my mouth now is not symmetrical, when I try to see past my swollen tongue also with large papules and new ones, sores, redness and cracking, I see my right side is much higher than the left side. The tissue in the rear of my right side on the soft palate feels as if it is going to rip when I open my mouth. That area of tissue now has a visual border and is infected from whatever this is. My throat has been burning when I try to swallow, I can only drink and eat certain foods. My once healthy teeth are now looking as if they are decaying meanwhile each day I can see my gums receding away from my teeth. Overall I am so fatigued I can barely move which has always been a symptom since this first began 4 years ago. This pressure now also affects my ears, very painful. These past few months of this I can also feel a growth or something when I swallow my medicine, sometimes it can get stuck there and I have to keep swallowing as hard as I can to get it out. I can even feel it when I drink or eat. I swallow and it gets pushed toward the right side where I have a narrow opening still. I am desperate for answers! My own doctor always promises to follow up with tests, etc. but is too busy working in a large medical practice which I will be seeking a new doctor. There s been no serious findings in my blood, urine work. I do not smoke and only consume alcohol during special occasions, I am a 42 year old female. Lastly, Yes I have seen every doctor possible practically begging to find answers. I have not seen an ear, nose and throat doctor since the new symptoms in these past few months and will. Could you please tell me what you think? I am desperate to have my life back! I sincerely thank you for your time. Evelyn
