I think I was infected a month ago. Since then I have been having symptoms such as tingling, itching, headaches, tingly weird feeling around my anal are, a little discharge, muscle aches, lower back pain, lack of appetite (probably because I know this may be happening and am worried sick) sore throat. 3 days ago I got a bump down there. I went to the doctor yesterday and she said it doesn't look like herpes so she didn't even swab or culture it. I reiterated my symptoms and she said I could be stressed as I am a full time employee, mom, and student. Plus I am a runner. I'm so scared n terrified n feel like I can't kiss my son or hug him or anything. I know stress makes it worse but how do you not? I hate not knowing but I feel like this is what's happening to me. Can this be real? I'm still in shock. With all these symptoms how can I not have it? I'm so sad n terrified. I already had a hard time finding a partner in this life and now this?
