In desperate need of help.

I have been ill for 11 months now. Numerous doctors and hospital stays have failed to diagnose the problem. I am in real trouble. My career is coaching, motivational speaking, wellness, and I a paid to compete. \
Prior to this illness I was a semi pro triathlete, also paid to coach rowing and karate
and have been healthy all my life. IN the 70's I went to Japan to study Karate,
in the 80's I won worlds in Powerlifting. In the early 1990's I competed in
Olympic weightlifting on the national level, mid 90's competed at Olympic Trials
in rowing, competed in K-1 Olympic kayak in late 90's. Since 2001 I have been
an Ironman Triathlete having competed all over the US and world.

Timeline of symptoms and medical

November 2006 slight ejaculation changes No other symptoms
Jan 2007 Felt light pain in urethra... starting feel ill not well
Jan 29 2007 While riding my mountain bike I felt pain in area where
I sit on bike... and swelling that night. I ride the bike
2-3x a day to the lake with my dog. I never had any previous
discomfort. That night night sweats started. Went to
ER... thought I had a severe fever. No fever.
Feb -March Night Sweats Felt ill Pain down where I sit
Feb Went to Urologist who guessed it was Prostatitis Treated with levaquin
March - May Went to Hospital 6 times due to worsening symptoms...
General malaise, feeling very ill all of the time
especially after trying to run
or row or any increase in core body temperature.
Feels like I HAVE A FEVER but no fever. Chills It is terrible.
Lymph nodes hurt but not enlarged. Under throat, armpits and groin

Was given full workup in hospital stays..
NEGATIVE for all HIV HEP HERPES SYPHL LYME Catscratch dis Mono
Neg for Lymphoma X rays normal
given full Autoimmune workout all NEG
Normal Cortisol Normal TSH Normal Testost
MRI's showed nothing dramatic
SED rate normal
Blood cultures All negative
T-cells Low
CRP Slightly elevated
White Blood cells Slightly elevated but not all the time


It has been guessed that this is 'all in my head' from a number of doctors...
Been to Psyche docs who disagree. I am very depressed over this because it is
vicious, I feel like I am cooking inside. used to be able to run marathons in 90 degree weather... now I cannot tolerate heat. The ill feeling is equally horrible
but usually has a cause. It happens after any training, after a bowel movment
and especially in afternoons.

Some have guessed that I have CFS Chronic Fatigue syndrome.
I do not have any fatigue, could train if I did not feel so ill or was
not afraid of the vicious ill feeling that overcomes me when I do.
During the summer I was doing 3 mile ocean swims in the morning...
but felt very ill in the afternoon.

Has anyone had any symptoms like this? I have spent a fortune with Doctors,
alernative medicine, Acupuncture, meditation, and more to find an answer.
Nothing has helped. A friend recommended this site.
Any ideas, feeback, thoughts would be appreciated.
