what am i sufferin from- help needed
Hallo everyone! Thanks a lot for the efforts you guys put to kill the anxiety that most of us have when we come to you.
My story is a long one but thanks in advance for examining it and giving me an honest answer.
My episode started when I had unprotected vaginal sex with a lady I had dated for 4months (am a 26yr old male) This was on 8th/ 9/07. The symptoms started after 5days with abit of tingling in my right testes. I brushed it off but seven days later it got worse with the pain and I had clear discharge from my penise and a mild pain in my lower back I also felt itchy in my urinary tract. I went to the doc and got tested and was told it was syphilis. I got an injection and cefixime 100mg. I took it for a week and the pain and discharge went away, but two days after finishing the drug dosage the burning sensation in my groin came back together with discharge a lot of pain in scrotum, chills, fever, nausea, headaches. I went back to the hospital after 5days of these symptoms, they did tests for bacterial infections and found non. I was given ciprofloxacin 250mg for a week. Things improved and everything cleared. Three days after finishing this dosage the groin pain came back. Went back and they did a scan and said everything was ok with my testes. I was given another dosage of ciprofloxacin 250mg for a week but only took it for just 3days and went back to hospital because the pain was still there. I was then given zithromax 500mg for three days. Things improved for around ten days and the pain started albeit at daily intervals (12pm to around 5pm) and it was accompanied with feverish feelings, a persistent cough that lasted for 4.5weeks and a back pain that persists till now. This was around week 8 after exposure. This went on until week 11 when I went back to hospital and was given doxycyline for 10 days, the pain did subside but not completely. I also got examined by a urologist and he said everything was ok.
At week 13 I had a big headache stemming from an eye infection all this time i have seen any srea on my genitals.
I have also been tested for hiv antibody on weeks1, 2, 4, 6(DNA PCR), 10 and 12.
I am waiting for my HSV 1 & 2 IGG and IGM. Am so depressed. Honestly what are the chances that this is not Herpes??????
I would appreciate your help guys, am so worried and cant think straight!
Thank!

Nope - still doesn't change my opinion. You've obviously been sick with something - I just don't think it's herpes. Probably your sore throat and neck pain is related to whatever is causing this nasty cough you can't shake too.

Nothing you've described says herpes to me. Getting tested for it for peace of mind sounds like a good idea but then move on from herpes as a cause.
also you've had a lot of antibiotics in the last couple of months. Perhaps look into trying to replace your "good" bacteria in your body with something like culturelle ( www.culturelle.com and you can buy it otc many places ) or if you like yogurt - start eating a cup a day of the newer probiotic types to try to counteract all the side effects of the antibiotics. I sometimes think we cause just as many problems in medicine by killing off the "good" bacteria as we do trying to treat the "bad" bacteria :(
