my short answer to your question is this: i'd suggest you continue going to the doctor but i'd go to a different doctor. many conditions can take a long time to diagnose. sometimes you have to visit many doctors over the course of years to obtain a diagnosis. so no you should not give up. if you've been seeing a general medicine doctor (like a primary care provider) try finding an internal medicine specialist instead. take a copy of your medical records with you and keep a written log of your symptoms on a daily basis. this data can help reveal patterns in your symptoms that help lead to a diagnosis. i wish you all the best as you persevere in discovering what's causing you to feel so ill all the time.
should i keep on going to the doctor for being sick and in pain if they can never find out why and send me on my way? . i have been getting sick everyother week for 6 months now. infections colds stomach bugs and viruses. now i have been sick for four weeks now with a viruses (i think a viruse doctors not stright forward and it always different) and my ribs on my left side are in so much pain i can't drive i can't get out of bed without help i am in pain all day long and ibuprofen only makes my breathing less painful. i dont want more anymore antibiotics. that feels like all an md can do is antibiotics.
