don't even know where to begin. I thought
this was something sexual related, since
it occured 2 weeks after intercourse with
a man (I'm female) but I've now had a
seven month HIV NEGATIVE along with a PCR
DNA negative and 11 other HIV tests all in
between.
So here's how it began.
I've always had enlarged tonsils, later a
heart problem that developed after the
birth of my daughter (2000), recurring
uveitis for the past two years...
so in August my tonsils swelled up to
where they touched eachother, and I
developed night sweats. The tonsils didn't
hurt, and there was one swollen lymph node
under my chin. Eventually I was given a
tonsillectomy, but the low grade fever,
night sweats, flushing, all intermittent.
Excessive fatigue that will not go away.
Chills. Skin changes (rash on back, on
legs), swollen painful lymphnodes on
collarbone and tops of legs, and on back
of one knee. flushed apperance on the face
in the evenings, I just don't feel good
I used to be overly
hyper
OCD in my cleaning,
happy-go-lucky. What the heck happened?
Here's lab work:
HIV Antibodies at 6, 9, 10, 18,19,21,22,
27 and 30 weeks... excessive much :
HIV DNA PCR negative at 5 months
HIV ICMA Negative at 5 months
Mono spot and strep test negative
CBC normal - neutrophils and platelets
slightly elevated
Sed rate 8
Thyroid panel normal
ANA normal
ANCA NORMAL
CRP 0.50
HLA-B27 POSITIVE
Heart function normal
EBV shows past infection (long ago)
CMV shows past infection (long ago)
CT scan shows mild lymph nodes, nothing
characteristic of cancer or that they feel
needs biospy but i was on prednisone at
the time
If anyone can point me in any directions,
I'd appreciate it. I focused on HIV for so
long because it followed a sexual
encounter, however the guy I was with
tested negative with a rapid test 6 weeks
after we had sex, and I've had all these
negative tests, so symptoms and timing
coincidence are just that - coincidence...
I need to get to the bottom of what is
going on. Please?
My current symptoms are immense pain in
lymphnodes with swelling, especially in
collarbone and shoulders, knees and groin,
forearm and underarms, low grade fever and
fatigue with depression from being ill,
intermittent night sweats... PLEASE give
me any ideas you may have
