I can't imagine waiting 2 years for a "real" diagnosis. I waited 6 months from beginning of tonsil swollen until diagnosed and that was eternity for me. I was young and pregnant and the doctor thought I was too healthy to be "sick".
My suggestion to anyone,INSIST ON TESTS. I did and I hate to think where I would be if I hadn't.
