Ok...I'm start of saying that i'm new to the board, and I would like everybody to chime in and let me know your thoughts.
I have recently notice that my body has gone through a change that I have not experience before, such as my throat, late april I notices I had a sore throat that was out of the norm, today is june 9 2004 and I still have this pain in my throat, I don't even have the flu. When I realize that i'm not coming down with no kind of cold but had this sore throat, I started to look up reasons why this is happening, the first thing that pop up on the internet is hiv/aids, as a human I panic and did more reading then I have ever done in my life before. I try to diagnose myself in many ways, I read all the symptoms for hiv and aids, sore throat or swollen glands, night sweats, headaches, skin discolor and weight lose. The only catagory that I even fit in is the sore throat and the swollen glands, I do not have the other symptoms, I do get headaches but no more then the regular person.
I did see my local doctor and he did a strep test, but that all he did, it was not strep. My last diagnose that i'm hoping is the cavities that I have in my mouth, because I did read that an infected tooth can cause swollen glands and a sore throat, so I did make an appointment this morning to fix theses cavities, but am I in doubt, yes I am. I'm not going to sit here and say and count how many people I had sex with(that will be easy to narrow out) but i'll be real honest with you guys, I don't have sex that often and had I unprotected sex twice in my life and they were long term relationships.
So with that being said, can you guys chime in on your thoughts about my symptoms. Thanks
