With some illnesses, it's needed to (slowly and carefully) try out which medication is best for your special case.
Everyone is different, and no one knows better than you whether a med is truly helping, or making it worse with side effects.
I do hope you can get better!
It sucks so much to have an unpredictable illness, especially at a younger age.

As for swimming; maybe you can convince your parents that it's less dangerous to do than other sports
(you can't fall hard in water).
It's possible to tailswim even in very shallow water, shallow enough that in case something happens, you won't drown.
Never go alone, of course. Have someone nearby always watching, and you should be ok.
