[staysafe]

Hi everyone,

I really need your help I becoming depressed as I can't find an answer from doctors.

My symptoms are the following:

- It started by having an having in increased feeling to urinate with an urge although my bladder is not that full. I can go like 10 times per day. sometimes.
- after 11 weeks I noticed that I have a white coated tongue or hairy tongue don't know exactly the diference. I know also sometimes experience a dry mouth
- with my tongue I also started to not have any appetite and I lost weight around 4 kilo in 2 months.

I did a CBC and urine tests and they are all normal. what tests should i do? what can it be? what should I look for? whichis the best doctor to consult?

Please any advise.

I just had my CBC results. I have 7.6 WBC and 20,8% Lymphocytes .  10 days ago I had 6.9 WBC and 30% Lymphocytes. 16 days ago 6.1 WBC and 22% Lymphocytes.

Is it normal to have such fluctuating Lymhocytes and WBC?

Why you do not like the last post? it was my first time to do such act and I regret it so much I never wanted to do such thing and it is like I am waiting for a punishement. I do not know if all these symptoms are only related to anxiety and stress.

The window period for HIV today is 3 months. and if these symptoms are related to this it should have showed up on the tests

I didn't read closely your last post, because I don't like it.  But I will tell you many years ago, when I was in nursing school, they believed then that there was a seven month window period where if a person had contracted HIV, it might not show up in testing.  I don't know what the medical community is saying/advance made in testing are today when it comes to the window period where you may not know you have it.

And I feel it is related to my encounter with a female sex worker. I had unprotected fellatio and protected vaginal. and probably my mouth came into contact with her saliva.

I tested negative for all STDs as well as 4 times for HIV last one was 22 weeks after the encounter.

Could I have cought something, a bacteria a virus, that is causing this? Or is it only my mind due to anxiety and stress...I am scared

Many thanks for your input.

What is worrying me is that for nearly 3 months I have been experiencing this loss of appetit it all started after my tongue turned white/hairy and had a temperature of 37,2 Celcius for one week...

Did you do an HgA1c test, which looks at a longer range of what your blood sugar was doing?  It's probably fine, but that's the test of choice now when it comes to blood sugar.

Stress can cause both loss of appetite (which would lead to weight loss) and also can cause one to lose hair.  Have you taken any steps toward stress management of late?  Also, did you have your cortisol level checked?

TSH and free T4 would likely be fine to see how your thyroid is functioning.

One site says iron deficiency is often an overlooked cause of hair loss, so you might get that checked if you haven't already.  The same site also lists depression and appetite loss as possible symptoms of low iron.
