Immune system let down

I'm getting over being sick for the second time in a month, its ridiculous. Here's the short version of the progression of this weeks sickness, Saturday- I woke up with a horrible sore throat but I just downed cough drops and tried to put up with it, it goes all the way until today. Monday- I wake up and I've almost completely lost my voice, but my throat doesn't hurt as bad anymore but I've got a nasty cough. Tuesday- I wake up and I can't talk at ALL, my voice is shot. I go to the doctor and they take the blood work and after what feels like an hour the doctors comes back and tell me I have MONO! I was weirded out, I mean really, mono? I didn't feel that bad, but he reasoned and said it was probably the reason I'd been sick like 2 weeks ago, and we just hadn't caught it. Wednesday- I feel pretty bad, but I go to school for a little while, and everyone finds out I have mono(supposedly). Yesterday- I go back to the doctors office because they called and said that they thought that I might have something else so I go back in and they prick my finger another time and after another 45 minute wait and multiple throat swabs they come back and tell me I don't have mono, but that its pneumonia. The nurse on Tuesday forgot to swab my throat so they had no idea that what I had was really only bacterial and that I only had elevated levels of the mono virus, but not enough to make me really sick.

and this is why I hate doctors, so if you didn't feel like reading all of that, just know, I was sick, the doctors screwed up and I'm still sick but getting better.
Atleast I have the cherry blossom festival to look forward to this weekend, I LOVE it and I'm so going to do as much as possible. Plus I really want to go shopping, and post my spring break plans! But I'll get to that. I hope everyones had a better week than I have had!
