I HAVE AN STD THAT ISN'T PROPERLY DOCUMENTED ANYWHERE

Hello, I have had a very rare chronic STD for 10 years and as yet haven't had a diagnosis.

I contracted the condition after unprotected sex with a girl that I knew quite well.

Within 48hrs of intercourse I came down with what felt like flu, very severe symptoms, extreme nausea, swollen glands in the neck and very discoloured glans of the penis (pale and shrivelled).

The glands in my neck went down after a couple of weeks but the genital symptoms persisted and have never gone away.

I also have a number of symptoms that I have to deal with everyday as a direct result of this infection. The list is a follows

Chronic redness and burning of the penis with sticky glans and strong smell.
Burning during or after urination and an inflamed urethra where trapped urine leaks out after urination.
Rectal moisture & secretions and burning with an unpleasant sweaty smell.
Profuse sweating from the groin perineum and buttocks.
Unusual chills and shivers all over the body with unusual pins and needles sensations in random places all over the body.
Occasional feelings of nausea, headaches behind the eyes and unexplained sweating of the body.

This condition may sound extreme or an exaggeration but unfortunately it isn't. I also know that the girl had this condition too as it appears it was common knowledge amongst her friends. She also have a problem with profuse vaginal bleeding which no doubt was a result of this infection too.

My question is what do i do? I really want some answers and help.
Im 31 now, everyone around me is getting married, I've lost my mojo completely, and have to self diagnose as it seems Drs simply don't know what this condition is yet.

I have seen many very senior specialists and the only person who recognized this problem was a dermatologist, in fact he expected me to have this condition before i showed him my problem.

I've been told my story sounds similar to herpes except after the initial illness it's different. I really want to isolate the pathogen and if nothing else help and support people in my position. I keep praying that one day anti virals will solve this problem.
