Switching gears

I have posted twice prior with specific details to no avail. I need to confirm that an hsv 2 blood test would rule out oral hsv2. I am trying to pinpoint an avenue to explain what is happening to me.  I don't ever get a good old fashioned sore throat, it is a huge deal with my lymph nodes and body symptoms.
I have been told that my thyroid numbers look good/ apparently my CAT showed nothing of concern/ I had an upper g.i. scan and endoscopy which only shows gastritis/ a spread of blood std tests (with the exception of hep) came back negative~ they didn't test for that) and I don't have anything visible to swab either in my throat or down below so I guess a culture is not an option? Right? And they issued a stress test because I get chest pains when this hits, but that too isn't anything to be alarmed about.
I have been attacking this at a hsv standpoint because it always seems to arise when I feel a coldsore coming on, am I going about this the wrong way or is an autoimmune issue a possibility? If my physician isn't going to go the extra mile for me I may have to consider a new one. I am tired of being sad and scared and am reaching the "ticked off" phase. I would really appreciate anything that would shed light on this. I'm not trying to find something wrong~Something obviously IS wrong I'm trying to find an answer. I don't just get "under the weather". I feel attacked and compromised.

Maybe you should join the expert forum where real doctors can answer your questions. You can ask a dictor's referral too if you have a lot of questions to ask. But you have to pay to post a question. dont worry it's worth your penny. Good luck!
