yeah I am behaving ridiculous here. I am not usually like this. I did go reading  - yep, and I knew it was bad... you just change though.... you become full of fear and lose ability to think straight... anyhow, the feet continue to hurt and if I keep reading I will be dead in no time. I will stop the research.
I am being assured that these are not ARS symptoms here.... part of me wants to keep asking  - do you think? I mean really? but - yes, I must stop.
its hard.
thanks to all, I will keep reading the forums for a bit and then get on with my life.

You would not have neurological symptoms only if it was ARS.

What was your risk?

anxiety physically manifest itself, bro!

i know what you are going through this time. the paranoia is just too much.

i'd say give it a another week or so and it will pass.....then you'll be feeling much better than u did before.

get tested and be assured. you'll grow out of it

hey guys
thanks for responses..
yep its hell on earth right now.

my risk was an open cut  on the hand while fingering a CSW
The cut was small.

the ARS thing is killing me. the doc has done his thing and said to chill. I respect that. Its just too hard to relax... my feet have this sensation and it feels bad. new to me

other symptoms? some white on tounge, slight fluey feeling..nothing major really...

its the damn tingling and burn sensation....on the soles of my feet... you read how this is bad.. but the doc aint going for it. I just get confused is all. such a horrible lonely time. had oraquick and antibody at 12 days   - negative.. I know...not conclusive... took the acute test today - the one that looks for the virus at 11-14 days or something, am assured by clinic that it is good to go by until conclusive testing in 4-6 weeks. am scared. it is terible, am a man and am reduced to this over stupidity - need to learn about how to handle ourselves sexually for a safer world. thanks giuys.... I need the responses.
