Here is brief history of my health this year before I say my symptoms.
A week before new years I was diagnosed with Mono, the day after new years I was rushed to the hospital due to a closing of my throat from my left tonsil swelling. I went a week with misdiagnoses (from specialists) until I saw my regular pediatrician who diagnosed me with an abcess. I then got that drained that day. Since then I have had about 5 infections and strep throat in my tonsils. Thursday I will be getting a T & A. That is the history of that now on to my symptoms which could be caused by the above or not.
The past week I have become somewhat weak not in my strength but in my ability to perhaps be fully awake. Drowsiness is constant and I find myself sleeping alot during the day but only for short periods of time.
I have had insomnia for about two weeks. I normally go to sleep around 5a.m-7a.m and wake up a few hours later. I have not been able to sleep a full eight hours in awhile. It seems that when I can sleep like last night I slept at 10:30 a.m I woke up at 3:30a.m and was refreshed and could not sleep again until 8a.m then I woke up at 10a.m.
My appetite is very low during the day but seems to come back around 8-10 at night. I have nausea as well and have found myself rush to the bathroom because I thought I might throw up atleast twice.
I also feel detached, but that could just because of the following I just listed. Also, a problem that isn't happening so much but happened perhaps 4 weeks ago and got somewhat better is my sexual drive. I had found that when I was with a girl I have been seeing I was not able to perform as I wished and often stopped with some excuse to avoid embarrasement.
I am not sure what these mean, I hope someone can help me narrow things down.

Are you under a lot of stress and/or anxiety? Your symptoms seem to represent anxiety to me.
However, it will be better if you go to the doctor and ask for complete health check.

Well, it is possible I am under some stress. I deal with stress fairly well (at least I think I do).
The stress I would be under would be from either of these (from the symptoms)
Mono - it's over
Abcess - Over
Surgery on Thursday - Yea I am stressed but it is on Thursday then I don't need to worry about it.
Weakness/ Strength - Worries me a little, I mean it could be affecting the "major" problem out of all of these symptoms.
Insomnia - Well, this isn't so much of a stress as it is a hassel. I just would like to sleep. However, I think perhaps I will get back on track after my surgery (the pain meds will help with that) and then once I am off if I still have it I'll take that melatonin stuff– I hear it works.
Apetite - Worries me, I don't believe I have an eating disorder. I love to eat, I just have nausea now which could be from the highly infected tonsils or it could be because of the insomnia.
Detachment - This worries me, I am not really able to focus and it is hard to memorize things. Hah, just the other day I literally thought I went crazy when I was making a sandwhich and I said to someone " I don't got no mayonaise." I didn't catch it but then all the sudden the person said something and I was amazed that I said that. It seems somewhat insignificant but hah, I am a pre-med pscyhology student and I am using broken english. Anyways, it just feels like my concentration is slipping.
Sexual arousal - This is the one that could just stress me out, I get stressed talking about it. It has happened twice with two different girls in the past few months. It felt like I would be able to but then all the sudden nope. Embarrasing to talk about.
This sexual arousal one is killing me too becuase its not 100% better, I would say only about 40-50% and thats probably just psychological improvement becuase I took ginseng and it is "supposed" to increase stamina and energy. I can't even believe that this could be happening to me. The reason I said this was killing me is becuase this one has been going on for well a few months so it shouldn't be a cause from the above problems and I doubt it is testosterone because well, I was all set the month before it started. These two girls were very attractive, actually when it first started I was still seeing the girl I had been with earlier when I was O.K so it isn't the girls, it's got to be something with me. Could medicines actually perm. damage this? I've taken alot of Z-Packs for my tonsil infections but I have taken that my entire life. I doubt that, I am just lost.
