I’m hoping that someone might be able to answer my questions. I have been going through hell for over a year. I had unprotected sex with someone who I later found out had genital herpes. I have had fairly constant symptoms of something starting shortly after that. I have been to several doctors and clinics and all tests for STDs have come back neg. They all tell me that there is nothing wrong, I know my body and know this is just not so.

I am looking for a doctor who will take the time to figure out what’s wrong. Can anyone give suggestions as to what type of doctor I should go to? My regular doctor is not knowledgeable enough to figure it out and I have found that clinics pretty much do routine testing. I have had three blood tests and 2 cultures and all were neg. I would be convinced that I was ok if it wasn’t for this constant irritation, soreness and occasional rashes, bumps and redness. I live in New York just above New York City. It would be great if someone knew a doctor in this general area. (at this point I would travel a considerable distance if I could find a doctor who might be able to help.)

This really sucks, I tell myself I need to get on with my life but how can I when I have a constant reminder that something is wrong. How can I think of meeting someone and trying to tell them that there is something wrong with me but I don’t know what it is? Not to mention the circumstances on how this all came about.

So, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
