Igm tested positive twice for hsv2 is this my final answer?

[Sadsadgirl45]

Hi Grace,

Two weeks ago I had blood tests done 4 days after recent exposure (unprotected sex) it came back positive for Igg for hsv1 which I wasn't surprised about in high school and as a kid I would sometimes get cold sores and had chicken pox. However the dr. Told me for igg hsv2 I was negative, but for igm which was hsv2 specific I was "weak" positive. I have never felt so sick in my entire life. She told me it was pretty definite I had contracted hsv2, she told me I could come in again in a week to retest. So I went again one week later and yesterday she tells me my results were exactly the same as before igm weak positive. She said I definitely had hsv2 but if I wanted to continue testing she could look into it. Also I want to mention I have been freaking out about everything I had a couple of red dots on my butt that looks like follicles and would normally think nothing of and I had them cultured they came back negative. I have been examining myself everyday looking for anything. The dr put me on valtrex after my first test came back and I had some back pain when I started taking it at my tailbone. Also started taking a lot of vitamins. The other weird feeling I have is this tingling feeling like I have to pee. I thought I might have had a bladder infection because I get them often but the test came back negative for both. I have been going to the bathroom like 10 times a day feeling like I have to pee but then hardly anything. I had this once before and thought it was a bladder infection but it wasn't and then I got my period and felt better. I also need to mention I haven't had my period for almost 2 months. I took a pregnancy test blood test and I'm not pregnant. I also took the morning after pill after my unprotected sex. This has completely consumed me I am so utterly depressed I can't eat I can't sleep. They told me it is recent also and I keep going back in my mind and thinking of being itchy in the past or seeing a bump near my but or area. I told my dr. I wanted to do more testing over time but I just can't stop thinking about how she sounded on the phone like it was judgement day and this was my final verdict. I have never felt so much stress and anxiety in my entire life. And I can't stand this feeling like I need to pee all the time. Please help. I feel so lost and alone.

Also feel like there is a lot of gas/air in my stomach and having  some bowel issues (diarrhea) not going to the bathroom every hour or anything, but still.
Not sure if this is again from the vitamins/ antibiotics or what. I haven't been eating a lot so I know it's not from something I ate. Also both times I had it, I had the metal taste in my mouth.

I'm pretty sure she tested for bacterial, but I don't think she did yeast. Don't have too many of the yeast symptoms. I was doing a lot of research last night on HSV2 and how it can affect your nerves and it makes me wonder if that's what could be causing these shooting, pinching pains? I also did a lot of research on anxiety which does some amazingly scary things like this as well (even bladder issues). The other thing I have been doing is taking a lot of different vitamins everyday which I am going to stop because I think this could be causing some issues as well. Still no lesions, off of Valtrex for 5 days, just have these shocks of pain, and some upper and lower back pain. Last night and today I had a metal taste in my mouth but I think it was from my antibiotic and taking it with my vitamins.  I also had a lot of pins and needles in my hands and feet (which could be a side effect from antibiotic- it is listed). I hate waiting, I just want this to be over. I feel like I have the plague or something. I have become absolutely terrified of acquiring a disease. Honestly I don't know how I am going to go on living everyday like this, it is a nightmare.

when they did your exam, did they test for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally too?

So I went to the Dr. today ( had to go to urgent care at a different office bc my insurance changed). They tested for some stds again, but not hsv. She did a urine culture and told me just by looking at it she could tell there was white blood cells. But then when she did the UTI test she said there were white blood cells, but not a lot of them. She told me she was treating me for a UTI and put me on antibiotics. Now I will just wait for the other tests. She also did a cervical exam  to see if I had PID, which she said I didn't. I am just very nervous about these pains. My lower back hurts and my stomach under and above my belly button hurt with any pressure. And I am still getting shots of pain in my legs, ribs, upper back, arms, feet, hands. I just hope this is not an STD. This is so scary. I wish I never had sex.

going to be seen again for these symptoms if the best course of action at this point. they can do some basic urine testing right there in the office and based on results, can decide if it's worth repeating testing or not.

Hi Grace,

One more question for you. I know I am supposed to stop obsessing but.. I am going to make a dr.s appt for tomorrow because the bladder thing is back, can't empty bladder fully, and lower back pain. I tested negative for Chlamydia 4 days after exposure and then a week and half after exposure. Should I get retested for this? The lower back pain and the bladder thing are freaking me out that I might have this. Please let me know. Thank you so much!!
