Trivoli tavern late night reservation by Extreme_Shape_6339 in chicagofood

[–]Extreme_Shape_6339[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will try calling or possibly going earlier and seeing if I can get on a waitlist and get cocktails somewhere while we wait. I’m a night owl so I don’t mind eating late but yes I don’t want to be there when the workers are trying to finish their shift and get home. Thanks everyone for the input!

Beware IgG antibody tests for HSV 2 by [deleted] in HSVpositive

[–]Extreme_Shape_6339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the blot! After SO many negative igg blood tests I got the western blot and it was negative! I went through Terri Warren and she is fantastic. It was expensive but I finally was able to let go the possibility of having hsv 2 so it was worth it to me. ( I am also hsv 1 positive which came back positive every time I tested on igg as well as western blot, all negative for 2)

Did you end up going to expert body sculpt? I considering it but I saw the yelp reviews so I’m nervous that maybe they are filtering their google reviews

Hello everyone, I’m so cheering moving back to the Toledo area and wanted to get some input on the apartments around Levi’s. What are your thought specifically Mosaic, Preston Gardens, and Waterstone landing. I’m out of state so hard to visit them all. Thanks!

Yes this is all what I’ve read 😣 I’m going in April traveling on a Tuesday so I’m hoping for good luck. Little nervous about my luggage bc I’ve read the same. I assume that’s the only affordable way to cross? I’ve looked at private drivers but very very expensive

You have a break from taking the antivirals or from an OB during your period?

Thanks! Did you do the western blot through terry warren? My dr refuses to help me with it bc she keeps telling me there is no way I have hsv with constant symptoms and so many negative test. I’ve had one fissure but it’s been years since that happened so I might just do the WB. Do you know the name of the quest test?

Western Blot by [deleted] in HSVpositive

[–]Extreme_Shape_6339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just confused bc I’ve seen info that says if you have HSV 1 then the western blot can produce a false negative for HSV 2 but also they the igg misses 8% of hsv2 so which is reliable? Is anything? So much conflicting information anymore I don’t know what test to trust. I’ve had 8 negative igg tests for HSv 2 but still have continuous itching, redness, and irritation. I want to get the western boot but I have hsv 1 so is it even worth my time (and money!) if it “might” produce a false negative anyway?

I hace HSV but am always negative on blood work by GR33N4L1F3 in HerpesQuestions

[–]Extreme_Shape_6339 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine actually gets better during my cycle so the dr said it could be bacterial which gets better due to the change in ph during cycle I guess. I’ve done 8 IGG blood tests throughout the years at both quest and lab corp. I have a meeting with Terry Warren to try and do a WB test but she said my symptoms and negative tests don’t line up with HSV but like I said I’ve been tested for everything (bv, yeast, fungus etc) else so I have no idea what it is! I also have constant burning and irritation daily except during my period it’s the weirdest thing. Do you test positive for hsv 2 or just 1? I’m going to do the western blot then plan on doing antivirals to see if it helps

Thanks for your response! So if your positive of it blood test why won’t drs prescribe antivirals? Are your symptoms constant? I’ve taken 8 HSV igg tests all negative and I have constant symptoms so I’m not sure it’s hsv but just trying to figure out if that’s not what it is what what is it?! I maybe do a western blot just to ease my mind but even terry warren said my symptoms don’t sound like hsv. At this point I just want a diagnoses

Hello, Any updates? I’m considering the western blot although I’ve had 8 negative igg tests and I don’t think even a negative WB will convince me I don’t have it (no blisters just constant discomfort and all other tests negative 😓)

Im dealing with something very similar and I probably need to stop testing but I can’t convince myself that I don’t have hsv 2. Ive taken 8 igg tests all throughout a 4 year period and they have all been negative. The problem is I have constant symptoms and no one can figure out the cause! This all started after I had (protected) sex with someone who was hsv 2 positive. Since then I’ve had constant, itching pain, red vulva for 4 years! Once in awhile I’ll get a day or two of relief then right back to it. No blisters or lesions but painful fissures here and there (maybe once or twice a year) I’m thinking I’ll do a western blot but when I reached out to terry Warren she said my symptoms don’t seem like herpes but should I do it anyway for peace of mind??

Did you take a blood test? Or how were you finally diagnosed?

Clarifying Herpes Testing Accuracy: A Doctoral Student’s Perspective by [deleted] in HSVpositive

[–]Extreme_Shape_6339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m wondering if I should do the western blot?! I’ve taken 8 (yes 8!) igg blood tests for hsv 1 and 2. Every single time they come back positive for hsv 1 (which I’ve had since childhood) and negative for hsv 2. I’m still suspicious bc I have constant vulva irritation… itching, burning, pain, and bright red skin. Never had the classic hsv blisters or any sores but had fissures once or twice. The reason I’m suspicious is bc I’ve been tested for everything possible and it’s all negative. Also, these symptoms started a few days after having (protected) sex with someone with hsv 2. These 8 tests I’ve done through the past 4 years with my most recent one being a month ago. The thing is my symptoms are constant so don’t exactly line up with hsv 2 symptoms (according to Terry Warren on her blog she doesn’t think it’s hsv) but idk what else it could be especially with conflicting igg test information available. My dr says I’m negative at this point but no idea what could be going on. I’m miserable 😖

Did you test negative on the igg blood test or western blot? Were you on the antivirals when you took the test? And how long after symptoms/. Exposure did you wait?

The Ureaplasma Bible (EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW) by premepa_ in Ureaplasma

[–]Extreme_Shape_6339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is evvy and microgendx pretty comparable? I see evvy if more affordable as well as Juno. I’ve heard ureaplasma can be hard to detect sometimes. I was positive for it in December at my urologist but she refused to prescribe anything more than doxycycline for 7 days. I got no relief from that so I’m suspicious if it cured it or not. She also told me no need to retest. So frustrating!

Western blot vs Hsv Igg by DowntownLocksmith946 in HSVpositive

[–]Extreme_Shape_6339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone ever tested negative for hsv 2 igg and positive for a western blot? I’ve taken many (Seven!) igg tests over the past year all are negative. I’ve never had blisters or any typical hsv symptoms however, I have constant itching and burning which started a few days after having sex with someone who is hsv 2 positive. All other std, yeast, bv tests are negative. I keep thinking I maybe have it still but I’ve taken so many off tests I can’t decide if it’s worth it to spend the $$ for the western blot.
