Hello all
I have been feeling unwell for quite sometime now (over 2.5 months) which i originally thought was sexually related. But after repeated STI screenings including 3 repeat negative HIV tests at 1 week, 6 weeks and 10 weeks im begining to think this is something else, as I always practice safe sex anyway so it has to be something else.
I am a 25 year old man.
These are my symptoms
- I have the typical butterfly rash across my nose and cheeks which gets worse when Im out in the sun or have been drinking alcohol. Iv had this rash since as long as I can remember but I always just thought it was Rosacia
More recent symptoms in the last few months include:
- painful swollen lymph nodes
- migratory joint pain....only mild and only had 1 spell which lasted bout 2 weeks.
-cluster type headaches
-fatigue and general lethargy.
-intermitant low grade fever.
- weight loss of 5kg.
- microscopic blood in urine test, but kidney tests were fine. Second urology showed no blood in urine.
-fluctuating steplococyl titre (ASOT) non responsive to anti biotics, but are now starting to decline.
- steadily decling white blood cell count.
My GP has refered me to an infectious disease specialist and if that is no help a ruematologist will be next.
Liver, Kidney, thyroid tests were normal.
-Tested neg for Mono twice (apparently Iv already had it)
-Negative for CMV.
Blood tests within normal ranges (accept for declining white blood cell count).
any feed back would be greatly appreciated.
