Sick since new partner.

SO i was somewhat recently involved with a new girl i was seeing. Looking back it was kinda dumb but that is besides the point i suppose. lasted a few months nothign too serious. Lots of kissing, making out, oral sex from her, me performing oral sex on her and vaginal intercourse (protected only). Since being with her i got sick, i felt extremely nausiated diarreha just felt very sick for a litle while, and it seemed to go away. Except for this nasty sore throat. Its been sore for probally 5 months now on an off but glads are always semi swollen as are tonsills. so if that wasnt bad enough this sore throat developed into a terrible productive cough which has lasted the last 3 almost 4 weeks now. All the while a nice stoumach pain intermittently to top it off. this is just too much for me and i cant stand living like this. Ive been very open with my GP and im seriously losing faith its been 5 months and they cant figure it out. Now ive had probally 4 strep throat swaps done, 3 mono spot tests, 2 hiv tests all negative. for the stoumach pain i had xrays ultra sounds and ct scans nothign irregular noted. i dont have a fever ever. I feel so helpless wiht my gp and i need to make an appointment again to see if i can lok elsewhere for medical assistance cause its really taking its toll. im just wondering if theres somethign i should be looking for that could have infected me. either from performing oral sex or kissing something has got to give, i know th einternet isnt the best place but like i said i feel so helpless wiht my gp. thanks for the help in advance

Don't give up. My name is pxm and I know more than any expert on this website about staph. One thing that will help you is to consider differential diuagnosis. Maybe tyour problem is X, but why not Y? Maybe its both. Don't give up. Every problem has a solution. We need to find your problems, and then plot a plan of care to get you better. Focus big picture first, then get narrow. I texted a 2 page magnum opus on staph, and since I wasn't signed up, it did not post and I lost it, making me angry. Can you submit to me a list of questions of very narrow scope that I could answer without having to re-write my Summa Contra Gentiles post? Best of luck. Pxm

Well its been a year and still nothing can be found out and I have no clue what to do. I go to my doctor i explain all my symptoms the best i can she asks a couple questions and says almost a direct quote everytime "im sorry theres nothign i can do for you" my ENT has essentially dont the same thing for a second time hes told me come back in 3 months well see how things look. Sore throat is rarely present just a stabbing pain in my left side and at the base of my neck, also more of a cramping pain in my chest moreso on the left and a stabbing pain in my left lower quadrant. Bathroom habits arent similar each time, sometimes im constipated other times starts with constipation ends in mild diarreah. I just feel like im breaking down and there nothing i can do im usually light headed and a bit of a drunk feeling while trying to go about my day i just feel so helpless. Everybody here always says go see a doctor and its all ive been doing and they have nothing for me, im hoping the net can help me or give me some direction. IM just at a loss.

Well, you can move on from an std causing this.  No std would give you these symptoms.

If you must, test, but there really isn't an std that would cause these symptoms.

I just saw an ENT a couple days ago and hes prescribed me ran-cefprozil. didnt give me much of an explaination....asked if ihad tried antibiotics i said no cause everything seems to show negative so he gave me those. from what i gather on the net its commonly used to fight throat infections of some sort. been on it for 4 days now, saw a bit of a change but has been getting sore again tonight.  its a 14 day period so i guess ill see till then. but what gets me is 14 days here 14 days there wait a week for this, time goes on and im at 5 months still sick. I dunno if its big or small deal either way its gone on so long i dont want any lasting effect to any organs or tissue or anythign from somethign stupid.

Have you been on antibiotics for bronchitis or pneumonia?  There is no std that would cause these symptoms.  I'd ask for a referral too - you need to get ahead of this.

I hope you feel better.
