Ms Terry Thx So much for your reply. Just a few more things, if you don’t mind helping me again :
Couple of days ago I started feeling a slight burn like sensation (like if I was placing an ‘Icy Hot’ patch on that area) on my inner thigh area next to my knee on my left leg. It lasted exactly a day and then the sensation disappeared. While it lasted it was sensitive to touch and temperature. Coincidentially, I had been having this back pain I mentioned to you before for Almost 2 months (getting an MRI next week) but this ‘burning’ on my thigh shows itself 2 months later ( I hope is related to a damaged nerve or something).
I have understood that there is a ‘prodomal stage’ before an outbreak which lasts 1 to 2 days, in which a person feels a tingling sensation.
1. If there was a virus present, would you consider it Normal for the prodomal stage to stop without ending up on outbreaks, then ‘taking a break’ ( a day/weeks) and then come back later stronger perhaps, to finally get the virus out to the surface? Or even if this second attempt failed, to try a third time and so on? Does that Ever happen?
Also Ms Terry..
2. How accurate would you consider Test results 2 months after exposure?
3. What do those numbers in the test results mean? Are those amounts that represent quantity of antibodies? If someone is infected let’s say, and that person Takes a test 1month after exposure and it turns out to be negative showing X number of antibodies and 1 month later takes a second test and this shows a greater number of antibodies but still negative… Does that mean that the number of antibodies will keep increasing showing eventually a positive result if Takes a third test
I am planning to get tested but I need to wait one more month to complete the 3 months waiting frame. I know you told me that the type of contact I had with that person didn’t present much risk and sincerely appreciate your insights, but I guess the guilt is killing me and I can’t avoid relating symptoms ( like the possible back pain and nerve) with that encounter .
I would deeply appreciate if you can briefly answer this 3 questions Ms Terry … Thank you so much
