i am currently doing so, my doctors i believe don't have a clue.. I basically diagnosed myself with h pylori before they did, i mentioned my symptoms of h pylori my dr  who did not believe it was and thought i was OCD, but tested me anyways..came back positive.

I just hope all our symptons are due to that.  it has been 5 month nightmare. i would have been done with this is i only had symptoms, but my family has them too. i am hoping h pylori or something else that is curable..waiting for son's results.

See your doctor if you are concern about your signs and symptoms because they don't have anything to do with HIV.

I posted some pics of me on my profile.

My muscle loss i mentioned is more noticeable in my back and butt,  as it sinks in. i have notice the same in my wife with her back. especially when i give her back rubs, her back appears boney where muscle should be. i feel a bone at her lower spine which i never felt before.

my son he has major diarrhea the last few months. the other morning when i went to wake him up he was laying on his knees with his back up. i noticed his spine and ribcage were badly exposed.. his lower back sinking in on the sides like a greyhound..i got a stool test done on him and waiting results..PCP would not do HIV test on him. they did not even believe me he had diarrhea until he did one right here.

both my children have pinkish circle around eyes with  noticeable veins.  both faces are gaunt with sunken temples
