After protected intercourse and recieved unprotected oral infection, I have gotten several infection.
Following infection are found in me so far:
CMV, Human Herpes 6, and Mycoplasma and prostate infection.
1 year down the road, CRP level test was done and it came out to 8.0, my rhumatologist thinks thats normal and we should repeat it.
Well they did and came back high again.
I went to naturopatic doctor and 1 months later he did, it came out to 6, than I was on fatty acid and came down to 2.0 after three weeks.
I am concern, becuase I get really bad chest pain, unabel to breath, slow breath, shoulder pain.
I am 20 years old male. One time I went to the ER and they found nothing, they did heart attack test and x ray of chest, nothing found.
If I had puamonia would that of been picked up ?
Does anyone what I should do ??????
Please help
Following test was done:
HIV 1, 2, Chalemdia, Gonorreaha, Hep B , C, ANA, Lups, ALL STD.. Everything Negative, except CMV, Human Herpes 6 and Mycoplasma.
But it was low mycoplasma.
What should I do ?

On the CRP:
A 6 or an 8 indicates pretty severe cardiac risk. However an active infection might cause it (I'm thinking the prostatitis.) BUT since you got 3 bad readings and one average one, I'd retest yeat again WITH A DIFFERENT DOCTOR THAN THE Naturopath, his "treatment plan" with fatty acids might bias him.
Did the CMV and HHV6 tests indicate antibodies or active infections...the first often implies a former infection and resulting immunity, the latter a more serious matter.
Chest x-ray would likely have revealed pneumonia if it was present.
How does the chest pain relate to exercise? If there's a correllation, perhaps a stress test would be a good idea for you in spite of your young age and the unlikeliness of heart disease.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae I suppose is the buggie you're talking about. Just a little bit that you might find useful:
Frequency:
In the US: Infections with M pneumoniae result in pneumonia in only 3% of cases; 20% of infections are asymptomatic, while 77% involve the upper respiratory tract. Although mycoplasmal pneumonia can occur at any time of the year, outbreaks tend to occur in the fall. The incubation period averages 3 weeks, in contrast to that of influenza and other viral pneumonias, which generally is a few days. Epidemics of mycoplasmal pneumonia tend to occur every 4-8 years in the general population and tend to be more frequent within closed populations, such as in military and prison populations.
Mortality/Morbidity: In almost all patients, the pneumonia resolves without any serious complications.
Sex: The incidence is higher in males than females.
Age: Mycoplasmal pneumonia is common in all age groups; however, it is most common in the first 2 decades of life and is rare in children younger than 4 years.
That 77% figure refers to things like bronchitis, pharyngitis, and sore throats.
