Thanks MM for the response. I know its hard to be leave that a guy would go along with no sex. But you all have to understand I married my best friend 43 years ago and been together since 9 grade, there has been no other since for ether of us. We never had oral sex, just didn't do that. Now when I was single and running, I sowed a few oats.
No she hasn't had any test and doesn't have any symptoms. She is healthier then a bear.
No the second Dr didn't take any test for H just looked at it and said it was. She did swab for Streep, it was negative. I asked her how one could get this other than with sex. She said what I have is like cold sores H-1, but in the mouth and can be got by drinking after someone, or having someone close and coughs droplet of saliva. Or kissing someone that has it.
I'm going to see if VA will give me a blood test to make sure. Is there a specific name for the blood test I should ask for?
What is CMV?
Never have had a fever. Just a really bad head ache , sore throat, really red and a sore on left side of mouth inside and feels like there is a blockage between my left ear and jaw. Hard to equalize my left ear.
My immune system has been working over time for several years now. I have been fighting one thing or the other since 1999. Messed up back/neck, corporal tunnel, tore rotator cuff right shoulder with surgery.
Left hip replaced, tore cartilage on right knee, had surgery on it and now I get shots in it every 3 months not wanting to have it replaced yet.
Than a round the time this started I had neck problem and left foot is swollen all the time. Had to have two MRIs before they found C-7 is messed up, so waiting to see what there going to do to it. 3 weeks gone by and still no call from them on that. On top of all that I been trying to sale a cabin in eastern TN in the mountains, I built back in 2010 after the 08 crash, we put all investments left in land and a retirement cabin. But because its 500 miles one way to there and I'm a mess, we just don't want the place anymore. So the stress I been in has been something for sure.
Now this problem is really screwing me up. Cant get the Dr to respond with any urgency. Even they look at someone with H as low class patients. Even tried to get into a throat specialists. First opening was Jan 24.
Health system now a days is a joke. I pay 700 buck a month for good insurance and cash is not a problem, but that makes no deference. Thanks OB. LOL
My wife and daughters are very supported and say dad its no big deal as I start to brake down. I tell them I'm crying because the thought that I could never kiss them, the wife or the grand kids with out passing it on is killing me.
Sorry for rambling on, it is good to talk to some one, thanks for listening.
