fatigue, tiredness, hangover feeling (without drinkng) flu like symtoms and pins and needles

[joely784]

hello can sum1 please help me over a month ago i noticed i was starting to get tired very easierly this got worse i started feeling very weak and was experiencing a hangover feeling everyday without drinking any alcohol :S i thought the feeling would go away but never did i also tested positive over a yr ago for genital herpez which are reacurring about twice a month heres a list of symtoms i have been experiencing
fatigue
tiredness (after long hrs of sleping)
reacurring herpez (about twice a month)
flu like symtoms (just recent, could be due to weather change)
headaches
pins and needles in hands and feet
tingling in face and scalp
started to feel sick
i suffer with depression which has recently got server i had the implant incerted abt a month ago (after i gt these symtoms so dont thnk it could be due to that although they have got alot worse) but the depression worsening could be due to the implant .
i have had a few blood test's for anemia, blood count and diabetes, all came back normal.
i am extremly worried about all my symtoms incase i have something really wrong with me i have been looking up symtoms online and i have symtoms of hiv and a brain tumour (probly wasnt the best idea to check symtoms on google) i got tested for hiv about 4 months ago and whilst i was waiting for my results (which came back negative) i managed to convince myself i had the virus.....i really do not want to put myself through that again and really need peace of mind for what ele these symtoms could be!.......someone help!

If you have not put yourself at risk since your negative HIV result i.e. had unprotected sex or shared iv drugs, then you do not need to re-test.

Symptoms are not an indicator or HIV, the only way you can be sure is to undergo a test - which you have, and it was negative.

Worrying is only going to make your symptoms worse.  I would say that the main root of this problem is psychological, not physical.

Consult a doctor about your symptoms, but I can tell you with confidence that If you have tested negative and NOT engaged in any risky behaviour I stated before then you are fine.

Your symptoms will not be connected to HIV

Hope this helps

heyy guys! i know mandie i live in the uk but 4 sum reason says u.s i got the test and my results back 2day and i am NEGATIVE! thnk god! it just shows that most of us are so paranoid and carlos the health advisor told me that you cant get hiv symptoms unless you have been infected for years annd are becoming really ill so we all need to stop worryng and gett on with our lifes! take care to all of you and thank you so much for your support xxx

[mandie772]

[carlos_uk]

Hi mate.
Hope ur test was a negative

[Teak]

The problem is you have a conclusive test result and you have been advised that you don't have HIV. Now you continue to post which is a forum guideline violation.

i got tested for hiv about 4 months ago and whilst i was waiting for my results (which came back negative)

[joely784]

and mandie 772 what is an insti test? is that the one that gives you results in a hour? i do wannt that one but ave been told i could recieve a false positive :s

[joely784]

ok but i dont see how that is relivant in anyway? we are looking for reasurrance and advice and to be honest i see you on everyones forum's so what is the problem? i dont really care for that and really dont see why you felt te need to tell me that :s was not he answer to the question i very politely asked
