Terri, You will see that I have had interaction on this website. Dr. HHH’s last reply to me was to seek MH counseling. Read lots of threads on this site about herpes. I read one of your threads, if a person has a high neg hsv1 igg test that you recommend them to have a WB done. Review my blood tests results, if I were a patient at your clinic, would you recommend me to have a WB test?
11 wks – herpes igg blood test (comb I & II) neg (non-reactive) I live in Canada and this test was done through the PH Dept. I live close to the US border and went to PP in NY and had the following herpeselect igg tests:
29 wks– hvs1 .68, hvs2 .12
34 wks- hvs1 .59, hvs2 .87
38 ½ – hvs1 .60, hvs2 .11
Reasons for my struggle:
1 My FP diagnosis was a yeast infection; does it takes 14 days for symptoms to develop? I also had pain and a swollen feeling behind my scrotum and I not sure that is a symptom of a yeast infection.
2. Burning on my thighs, groin area
3. 6/11, I had what appeared to be a cold sore on my upper lip, it never opened or scabbed and a sore on my lower gum, never had either of these before, nor since.
4. Been getting small skin cuts on my hands and fingers, max ½” in length since this.
5. Tingling of my scrotum with my first symptoms and it continues to this day off and on each day.
6. Lower back and back of my thigh pain feels like nerves.
7. I have had skin cuts in my groin area and some thigh bumps swabbed within 48 hours of appearing, some within 24 hours, but all negative. I’m sure some of my symptoms are anxiety related, but I have never had these types of skin problems in my life and I’m struggling to believe anxiety is the cause. Is it harder to have a pos hsv1 culture than hsv2?
I believe my hsv2 results for some reason, but because of the oral, I have convinced myself I have hsv1 genitally and that I’m one of the missed 10%.
Does any of my story resemble a hsv1 genital infection?
Thank for your professional opinion.
