CMV and related illnesses

[summersolstice]

I had a sexual incident with a commercial women 2 years ago. Almost a week later the symptoms began.

Ever since then I have experienced the following symptoms:
1. Excessive hairfall
2. Loss of wieght
3. Alternative diarrhea and constipation
4. Contracting coughs and colds more easily, in fact often
5. A constant pricking pain in your liver area and kidney area
6. Joint pains
7. and excessive urination. I cannot sleep at night as I have to get up to urinate.
8. high blood pressure
9. Uric Acid (kidney test), and Bilirubin (liver) high?
10. Weakening of muscles where you feel even if you use the gym your muscles.
11. Pain on your right side of the body extending from hip area and above right down to knee and leg.

13. Enlarged viens in legs
14. rashes on the body

At first doctors said I am fine even though I experienced so many symptoms but had negative HIV, syphillus, gonorrea tests. I then got tested for cytomegalovirus igm (negative value 0.134) and positive for cmv igg . I read up on it and it seems that not much research has been done ont his disease. MOst people say that nothing permanent happens from it. whereas others say that it is a causal agent in a person developing chronic fatigue syndrome. Why the confusion?

I have had 4 cmv igg tests done over 7 months. the first 3 showed alternative values of 64, 78 and 70. The last cmv igg test I had done  a week ago showed a jump to 139. This has worried me greatly as to me it shows that the virus is actively replicating  and causing harm inside me.

The doctors here say oh no your anti bodies increasing is a good sign. I have read however it is not it is a bad sign because of the fact that it shows the cmv is gaining more strength inside the body. What is the real truth so to speak?

In addition do you think I have HIV and that is causing the cmv to actively affect me (symptoms) on a daily basis. My last negative test was 2 years after the incident. WHat else could explain what I am feeling.

In the last 2 months I have been positively tested for many allergies I am suddenly developing. I had an allergy in my eyes, ears and in my belly button. I am having anti allergies and anti biotics at the moment for the belly button infection. I previously was allergy free all my life. Do you think I could be developing allergies to HIV which is hiding inside my body attacking me? My allergy test result was 239 where normal is under a hundred.

In my CBC blood reports the values that are out of whack are my lympocytes previous 34 now dropped to 18, low range but still normal wbc counts 5.8 and low red blood cell counts 4.3. And mcv is on the high side. Also my latest cbc report shows that my red blood cells are swollen something which the reports did not show before ( 2 years of testing.

Can someone please help me and let me know what is going on. Are there any other tests I should take/ SHould I have antivirals such as valcyte? Can allergies actually be caused by vitamin supplements?

In conclusion I have tested negative for almost every std test under the sun except positive for cmv . I also had a cmv pcr test which showed no cmv culture found. But I have read it is adept at hiding in your immune system weakening it from the inside. Do you think I could be one of the unique cases where HIV could not show up in the blood tests but actively be present in my body damaging it?

I would appreciate any help provided. It could SAVE my life. thanks.

I am on xyloric 300 an anti acidity pill. Without it my brain and head feel cloudy and foggy and I feel extremely fatigued. The moment I have it my head clears up. Plus the ph balance in my urine is above 5. I have read that means presence of infection. ALL THE doctors though told me just to drink mnore water. However, I drink 3 litres of water almost every day so it does not compute in my brain. Maybe my body is not absorbing the water I do not know. But my urine culture showed no growth. Does that mean there is no std? You see both sides of the scale d onot match. My symptoms are hitting me daily worst is the urination and muscle loss and wieght loss. My girlfriend too seems to have developed a belly and cellulite due to one episode I had with her where my penis circled her vagina but did not go in. But my liquid could have. Ever since then she developed wieght problems , hairloss urination almost exactly the same symptoms I have been facing. In addition she exhibits the same symptoms of a woman with a n std. that is what leads me to believe that i infected her with cmv (herpes family) as i tested negative for hiv and all the other major stds. What should I do. Please advise me. Is there any other test i can to have to find out what the hell is happening to me? I have heard of Dr LERNER in california but I cannot travel all the way there at the moment. I do not know what else to do. Antivirals? I do not want my body to be further deteriorated or organ damage. it is very troubling to me and my life is on hold

You have tested negative for STDs. You don't have HIV. Continue to see a doctor for your problems. This does not sound STD related. Are you currently on medications?. Some meds do cause some of the problems you describe.
