Any Help Will Be appreciated

Hello, you all can click on my name and see what I have posted before. I still have no answers after two infections (one possibly herpes) and have been suffering since this past May. I am in dire need of help.

My symptoms started after a flu like illness while in Central America and then a penis infection from a girl I was dating here in US (though it was herpes but two IGG were neg). Basically I suffering from malaise, severe depression, cognition problems, hot face, neck and ears in the evening, head pressure, headaches, irritability, joints popping and cracking (maybe tendons too). I am suffering and have already been to the doc three times. Last week test results were normal (CBC, CMP, Thyroid panel). I have also done ANA test, herpes test, STD panel, etc. All seems normal from what they can tell. Initially I had elevated liver enzymes and elevated eosionphils but those are normal now.

I beg anyone to offer some advice, guidance, or any type of help. I am suffering a lot and am having a very hard time functioning, holding a job, and living life. All this started after the infections. I need help. Please someone.

Well, creatinine levels are a sign of kidney problems so it is best to get it checked out. Maybe there is some kidney stone in there. Do you have any back pain?

the doctor referred me to a nephrologist because of high creatinine levels and positive ANA so he is thinking some type of autoimmune disease that affects blood vessels. IDK what the hell happened to me or what infected me and I hope this damned doc knows what he is doing.

I gave up seeing docs after 12 months doing every tests is out there...let things sort it self out and calmed everything down and it helps. Just keep accupanture, yoga, and a lot of warm and sun, a lot of sleep, healthy diet all together will help a lot... I believe the roots in my case were in the chronic stress that manifested in physical symptoms... I found a lot of people went thru the same stuff, you are not alone... Try calm your mind, body, emotions and spirit it will do wonder! Stay healthy! I know how you feel, I really do, just remember it will past, you will get better

I think you need a bit of a break. Getting all that blood drawn is tiring . I have been through that too. But please don't give up. You will find out what is going on. Take a break and then maybe check into the parasite issue with an infectious disease doc. I would let them know that your eosinophil count had been high and the other symptoms. Also, let them know what you were tested for and the results. I never thought it was autoimmune. But, I hope you are ok. Let know how things go when you feel like it.

hello,

I havent done any more tests after the auto immune ones. We were waiting on those results. I just got the rest of them back and they are neg--ant smith rnp, the other anti smith, and the dsDna. So, it appears I just have a positive ANA, 320 speckled.

I have a followup with my doc about all this and so I can ask him more about parasites. I am currently seeing a Family Practice doc and not a Rumi.

I believe I am done with the docs. I am too tired and weak to be going every week and getting blood drawn. This constant testing and visiting has psychological impacts and it could be making me sicker. I am tired of fighting and getting no where. I will try and do some broad spectrum parasite protocols then I am done trying to find out what is wrong. I will accept my fate and let this kill me bc it seems to have not gotten better and I have been dealing with this for 8 months. I am tired. I will let it do what is needs to do.
