I have responded to your question over in the Infectious Diseases Forum.  I hope it may help you. I am also even more convinced it could be your problem as you mention a hysterectomy in this post.

All the best!

You need to see a good doctor. We are not doctors here. With all of your health conditions it is impossible for us to even to begin to sort things out. Get a referral from your GP/ primary doc if she/he can't diagnose the issues you are having.

Good luck.
