Severe numbness and tingling of hands and feet

Hi,  could someone direct me to a specialist?  I did do a clearview rapid antibody test at wk 12.5 and it was negative.  So what is my problem?  The neuropathy like symptoms that started around week 3 is getting more severe and almost unbearable.  I have had many other symptoms (diarrhea, facial rash, mouth sores) but because all my prior hiv tests were negative, i have been trying to get over it.  Yet, the neuropathy symptom and frequent chills are not allowing me to move on.  I know what this forum says about the conclusivity of tests and window period, but given that i've always been a healthy person who has never felt something like this or been ill for this long, i'm at my wit's end.  Could someone who has gone through what i am going through now, please advise me on what you did to relieve these symptoms?  I do not want to be thinking about late seroconversion or an atypical strain, but the longer that these symptoms stay with me, i am unable to move on.  Thank you kindly!
