Yes I did have a swab done my doctor wasn’t able to see me, so I went to urgent care. Now this was about 3/4 days after I had noticed but the urgent care sent it in the wrong tube and solution (just my luck) went back the next day and had it swabbed again so about 4/5 days at that point
I also had a bump near my lip line swabbed he originally refused but when I went back I insisted this one was there about 3/4 days (I’m a picker so messed with it and was popping and picking it is inevitable, anxiety habit) the test was a PCR test and both were negative for both HSV1&2
I’ve read you can go too soon and also too late. Was that too late?
I seen my doctor after and she said it would have picked it up if it was HSV and the blood test was accurate but I know from reading on this forum most doctors aren’t fully educated on it and it can be inaccurate. So still have huge concerns if it was accurate or not. My doctors are refusing more IGG tests and thinks it’s in my head. That I had some trauma from the one night stand and std that I’ve ran down a rabbit hole.. But I don’t believe it is in my head
I feel pains I’ve never had so many issues happening with no explanation. Only after that one encounter it can’t be a coincidence
Can HSV present like perioral dermatitis to where my dermatologist would have misdiagnosed me? Have you seen that before?
My urine issues are very concerning as well
Since my doctors will not keep “entertaining” my very serious concerns as I’m at the doctors weekly, unable to sleep eat or function, I’m on this forum daily (such a wonderful place for accurate information so I can’t thank you enough!) I can’t stop checking myself although advised not to with my mental state. Terrified to be too close to my kids. I will definitely be looking to get the Blot with you I’ve signed up already for an account. I’m getting the money together to be able to get it now, is it still 450$
I’m sorry it’s such a long message, Thank you so very much for the response!
