For the past year, I have had near constant symptoms that include:
- discomfort / pain / burning deep in my hips, thighs, lower abdomen, lower back. This is basically every single day, with an occasional break of a day or two
- frequent crawling sensation in the same location of skin (lower left side about an inch above the top of the condom), which occasionally stings for a few days. I *never* have visible lesions. Occasionally, its a little bit red for a day or so but usually looks totally normal despite the crawling.
- every few weeks a bad flare-up begins with a mild fever and sudden mild dizziness and headache. About a day later, I get more intense burning in my hips and thighs, and have about a week of exhaustion
This has been going on all year, and I am symptomatic despite taking daily valtrex. Doctors have been completely unhelpful. Has anyone else had this experience and can provide any more information?
