Reply To: Testing At 12 Weeks Post Exposure

Thank you for your response.

It feels like this is never ending.

First, I had a new rash pop up on my inner thighs. I went to the dermatologist because I couldn’t get in to see an OBGYN. The dermatologist said that he thought the rash was due to heat and sweat and he prescribed an anti fungal cream and medication. The rash is going away.

When I was applying the cream, I went a little lower than the rash. I knew there was a bump there before, it’s right on the area that I get HS (acne inversa). However, when I ran my finger over it, it leaked out fluid like a blister would. It was not painful and it was watery and bloody. It’s still there and it is still slightly filled on one side. It’s been there for 1-2 weeks, but the leaking didn’t happen until Friday. I went straight back to the dermatologist and saw someone different, but she believed it was my acne inversa because it lines up in the same spot I usually get it and it’s purpleish in color.

I still feel random twinges, pin pricks, and burning sensations.

Yesterday, I was nauseated and had diarrhea and lower back ache. It went away towards the evening, but was back this morning when I woke up. It also burned to go to the bathroom (#2, not pee).

The dermatologist did another IGG test, but the first one I saw stated that my first two tests being wrong (12 weeks and 15 1/2 weeks out with negative results) is highly unlikely and that I should let it go.

This last test I got done Friday and is also a different lab than the two I had it done at before. This one would have been drawn 1 day before 18 weeks.

The issue I’m having is all of these things that keep popping up and happening. It’s been something every day since the end of November. At least twinges and pin prick sensations.

I’ve also read that it takes some people 6 months to seroconvert.

Based on my symptoms, time line, and tests what would be your recommendation? I’m struggling very bad with this and think that this has traumatized me.
