Many possibilities : There are a lot of possibilities that could cause your symptoms including: viral illness like mono syndromes (ebv and cmv), possibly mosquito-borne illnesses like west nile, etc., collagen-vascular diseases, valley fever (cocci), histoplasmosis, leukemia or other cancers. Get yourself checked out asap.
