Is it mono?

Hello,

I am having some health conditions since around Middle of Aug. And l hope you can help me if this is related to mono.

First of all, l am male and in 20s.

In the middle of Aug. I was told l have a low testosterone but normal FSH ans TSH in the yearly routine check-uo. So, my Dr. diagnosed me with a Secondary Hypogondism. Then, after a few days l think 5 days or less l noticed l am developing ED and my knees were burning me/warm for around a week or 2.

After that l had some strange symptoms and some of them until now and they are:

Burning knees (The first 2 weeks).

Body aches/muscles aches. (The first 2 weeks).

Fatigue all the time.

Mild fever.

Hot flashes/Sweating while sleeping at a few nights.

Lower back pain at the beginning.

Had some feeling of strong blood circulation in one of my leg and right kidney or liver.

Pain in Kidney

Severe Insomnia it goes and comes.

Fast Heart palpitation in some time.

Strange taste in mouth at the beginning.

Dry mouth, but not anymore.

Abdominal pain but not anymore.

Mild Red or Pink rashes on the shoulders and the chest (Until now).

Dry Cough (It got way better).

Heart pain sometimes (It got better ).

Diarrhea and frequent urination it seems more to dark yellow and foamy (Until now). As l developed elevated protein.

Headache. (Until now).

Numbness and tingling in hands and fingers and right side of the face sometimes, and sometimes when l wake up. (Until now)

I lost my sex drive and l lost woods / erections while sleeping. (Until now) in spite of taking natural medicine as the dr. recommended.

Swollen supracalvicular and cervical lymph bodes in the neck only and under the jaw. 7 swollen lymph nodes and for the cervical and supracalivcular they. (Until now).

I went to Urologist Drs. and they prescribed me with clomid 50mg and stimulex and Cialis 5mg where it worked for sometime only. Then it sopped.

I went to meet 4-5 Endocronlogist Drs. they said you have the same diagnosis as before secondary Hypogondism as normal FSH and TSH. And 2 Dr. suspected l am having HIV. But 1 Dr. asked me if l had any intercourse recently and l said no. As l never slept with any for my whole life because of being preservative.

So, after 1 month from diagnosing and having the symptoms as a secondary Hypogondism l did all std Tests, including HIV on Sep. 16 all results were negative except for HSV1, which seems l had it when l was a kid. And the result for HIV was 0.20 and active is 1.0 antigen and antibody based on CLIA Method.

So, l went to do it again on Oct. 03 and the result was 0.35. This is still far from 1.0.

Anyways before l started to have symptoms l did many blood tests in 2018 and vaccinations ad well. before some-time from the secondary hypogonadism and before started to have any symptoms.

I did MRI for the pituitary and the results were fine:

"IMPRESSION: 

1. Normal MRI of the brain without contrast. There is no cerebral ischemia,

   hydrocephalus, or intracranial hemorrhage. No findings are identified on 

   this study to potentially explain the patient’s symptoms. The pituitary

   gland and infundibulum are unremarkable.

2. Small mucous retention cysts are noted in the left maxillary sinus and an 

   osseous septal spur projects to the left middle meatus."

I went to the emergency On Oct. 09 as l have swollen supracavicular (hard) and mild cervical lymph nodes, diarrhea and insomnia at that time They did both cbc and EBV tests and l had severe insomnia at that time.

And the results were as follow:

GRAY ZONE. IgM is presumptively Non Reactive

detected.

anti-VCA IgM

anti-VCA/EA IgG REACTIVE

anti-EBNA-1 IgG REACTIVE

Agray zone IgM result combined with 

reactive VCA- IgG and EBNA- IgG 

antibodies is suggestive of either recovery 

from a recent EBV infection, reactivation 

of a past infection or a false positive IgM.

And it showed elevated wbc and neutrophils. So, both tests confirmed l have an infection according to the Dr. And she repeated the test on the second day, and the results were normal.

And for the EBV Infection Kinticks is showing l am getting better according to the Internal Medicine Dr. informed me that it will take around maximum a few months for the nodes to return to its normal size.

So, l am worried l might got infected with mono or more serious disease like HIV or maybe l have been infected with lyme disease as it already made me very weak. I am really having difficult time as with these symptoms above.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot.
