Yes I have and it was neg!
Have you guys been tested for hsv 1 or 2 6 months after these infections began, I only ask because this is a common recurrent type of infection and the body handles it diffrently for everyone
I argee.... I've been suffering for 6 months n no help wat so ever. All these docs Juss think I'm crazy.
Hey guys,
So far, I had no success finding it. It somehow changed from hyper salivation to strange looking mucus with white strings and my neck and gums burn, although the pain is more bearable these days. Still ***** to live this way.
I have not been able to find what is it, my assumption is that it is some kind of bacteria that is able to live in tissue and whatever mucus is in the body. I am sorry to admit, that the best diagnosis our medicine is able to provide is some sort of nervous disorder. Screw that, I can't breathe without pain in my ears and my left ear is annoying the hell out of me. My neck is stiff and it burns, and they call it nervous system.
Anyway, I have not been going to doctors lately since i found it to be a waste of time and money. Just waiting to see what happens, spending money on doctors and blood tests seems delusional at this point.
In another post you mentioned your T-helpers are low. can you please share exactly what are your CD3, CD4 and CD8 results?
Hey
How have you been doing ?
I find similar symptoms since a couple of months now,
Did they find what is it ?
Thank you very much for your comment. I am no doctor, but I doubt that this is allergy or post nasal drip related.
From multiple tests i have taken, it looks like my immune system is knocked out for some reason and there is some type of infection dwelling in my body.
First of all, it has spread, it started with throat and it took about 5 months in 2010 to spread to ears, nose and neck, and lately it is bothering chest as well.
The mucus is something organic and it is rather strange looking, I have never seen anything remotely similar before, it is like gel with defined contours and so sticky that is possible to switch it between fingers in one piece.
It also has some strangely shaped white strings. Finally, my muscles hurt so much and the pain comes (as if i am intoxicated).
All in all i have the following elevated:
IgG EBV antibodies (11 times the limit)
IgG Helicobacter Pylori (antibodies 8 times the limit)
Mouth Swab shows Pseudomonas Aeruginosa.
Plus the pain is close to unbearable, it is like my soft tissues (gums and neck and lymph nodes are being eaten alive from within the tissue itself).
I know sounds stupid, but that is about the only way i can describe the pain. It is no sore throat for sure, and it is ridiculously painful.
Hi, your symptoms could be due to a post nasal drip, which can cause a chronic irritation in the throat. This could be due to a sinus infection, a cold or a chronic allergy. It could be sinusitis, if it is accompanied by nasal stuffiness and facial pain or pressure. Post nasal drip could also be due to allergens. These are substances like pollen, dust, animal dander, certain foods, insect venoms and certain medications. Exposure to allergens causes a runny nose with a resultant post nasal drip where secretions from the nose go backward into the throat and irritate causing mucus secretion. Please discuss this with your doctor, if needed he may refer you to an allergist. In the meantime for relief from your symptoms you could do warm salt gargles and take OTC antihistamines. Regards.
There is this strange cycle: While strange mucus is produced constantly, at times my saliva becomes thick and white (like dehydration) but i drink tons of pure water (non-carbonated), neck becomes stiff and tissues start to burn (as if there is a sunburn from the inside of neck tissues). The gums become sore, very sore to the point they feel like they are going to pop. This condition of extreme pain can go for 2-3 days and the the mucus starts discharging in thick clumpy masses. Clear glue like substance with white strings within. Then I get some relief, but the pain never stops it is there 24/7 like as if something is living off of me. I can not understand this cycle or triggers. But I can only assume that whatever food i get gives nutrients to whatever is eating me for the last 3+ years.
I am not consuming alcohol or soda or sugar or wheat. Basically I am on a very strict diet, lean meat and water. I tried beer once for my birthday and regret to this day. It is like putting gas into a fire.
I seriously do not understand what is going on. Did i find some new species in Thailand? Did some infection knock out my immune system completely?
