Unkown virus

[Matt238]

Hello I had sexual relations protected with a massage girl in California. Shortly after 3 days I started experiencing symptoms, need to urinate and redness in meatus of penis along with redness and irritation in eyes. By the end of that week I had tingling all over boxer short area The following week I had trouble walking due to the pain and tingling, this eventually turned into burning in the urethra and scrotum lasting two to three additional weeks. No noticeable blisters ever formed.I also suffered nerve like pain from buttock down back of right leg.

I am now left with after 5 months from this incident pelvic pain,sciatica type pain, itching and burning on scrotum from time to time but less severe than before. I also wake with watery eyes, sinus congestion, white stuff on corners of mouth every day since exposure. I have taken multiple STD panels for every STD HIV, syphilis, goon, chylmedia, hep, and herpes at 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 months all neg. I even followed up with an HIV and syphilis at 4.5 months and was neg.

I did receive treatment for the possible bacterial infections STD given z pack, doxy, ofoflax, uribel and something for trich.

My neuro said it's probably a unknown virus. I have been on a few rounds of antivirals for herpes just to see if there is a reaction, the antivirals seem to help the symptoms but herpes test was neg.

I am thinking this maybe undetected herpes infection accompany with a fungal overgrowth due to excess antibiotics.

Also my CBC came back normal but WBC was in the low range.

Any idea what this is? Please help.

Did you know if scabies can live long term in the body and not show symptoms all the time? At times of stress the immune system is suppressed and scabies mites multiply? Is that possible?

Old folks sometimes get Norwegian scabies that is a massive outbreak. Usually they suffer from dementia and complain of bugs but do not see them. Maybe the body has enough time to not mount a serious response like rash but itching still occurs. Not sure if that is possible. Any thoughts?

No I don't think this kind of immuno-suppression occurs with scabies or mites. They can live long term on the body but you will have symptoms and they will multiply. But if say your spouse has it and you don't and/or have not been treated for it for 30 days, it may be a drug reaction that the person has and not scabies. So it should be confirmed that they have scabies by a microscopic exam. They do a skin scraping of the person and then see if they have it.

Glad you are doing better.  Thought I would also post an update.

My general health is good, but I still have a couple of symptoms white tongue (comes and goes a bit, but always there) as well as itch.  The itch is mainly in the anal/tailbone area, but also seems to be migrating up my back and to my arms.

The symptoms seem to fade at times, but come on at others.  Almost on a monthly cycle.  The tongue issue I never notice, until I feel the itch come on, and then I check my tongue and it is somewhat white.

All my other symptoms have largely gone away, and for the most part I'm fine.  Just every 3-4 weeks I get itch that lasts a week or so and then fades (never completely but almost completely).

I wonder if I have some sort of scabies, mites or bed bugs.... or maybe lyme disease.
