fibromyalgia in africa

Very uncomfortable feeling, worse when I first wake up from sleep, but sometimes also all day long. Am I suffering from what is called fibromyalgia, does hepB cause this disease. I've already read that there are lots of other diseases that are caused by this terrible chronic illness.

So having listened to all of this it should come as no surprise that at 41, with a divorce in the works that I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia that keeps me awake for 36 hours at a time and then I get about 6 hours. Then we go for the 36 hours again. The pain has alot to do with it. It involves my neck, shoulder joints, elbows and hands. My hips and tailbone, my knees and ankles and the underside of my feet.

Having both of these chronic ailments I am obviously being treated with conventional medication. I am in South Africa and I have read about a lot of alternative therapy for the Fibromyalgia but I don't know how this will mix with my Bipolar Treatment. Can you help me understand this?

My doctor has been in Africa for the last 2 months she's been in Nigeria and Kenya should I be concerned about her continuing being my doctor?

I received anal fingering with pre-cum, I don't know if there is any cuts or blood in his hands, but I tested Duo test 19 days, 26 days and 6 weeks after exposure, also rapid blood test 10 weeks after exposure, all came negative and my questions: 1- are my tests consider as conclusive or may I need another test on 12 weeks?

s consider I was in a high class night club (but still in Africa) where Bar Ladies always use condoms (probably more safe sex than with someone else). I have read that the probability of infection through cunnilingus is much less than 1:10,000. Let's say under my conditions it is full 1:10,000. If I have a test at 18 days from the cunnilingus, I assume there is more than 50% probability to detect HIV if I have.

Low and behold, no signs of damage in stomach and esophagus. No hiatal hernia. LES in working condition. Ever since I saw with my own eyes that I was ok, I would get heartburn once or twice a week, and it was easily controlled by taking Omeprazole(in 2 hours no more heartburn!).. However, its staring to trouble me everyday again. And this time I have made some interesting observations.. 1. My throat burns....

Thanks for reply.. I am only worried about tests in Africa and method they use..i see much degradation in foollowing standards for othr industies in africa..also i am going to geet married in april..so bit concern...i know this is somthing to do with mental satisfaction...can you put some light on tests in africa and possibility of infestion in one encounter..even i dont knw the HIV status of girl with whome i had sex..

Thanks for your reply.The doctors on this forum are saying that African sex workers(20% with HIV) are probably having higher viral loads because of not having access to medication ,so the same rule about oral sex does not apply to everybody, for instance to North America or Europe where there is a medical treatment available.

i am not an expert but even my self can tell you didn't need a test

I am usually a rational person but have become irrational after this episode. The fact that I was in Africa has exacerbated the situation. 1. In a worst-case scenario where these secretions on my penis were not mine and HIV-infected, and could have entered my urethra, would I be at risk for HIV? 2. Are my presenting symptoms consistent with seroconversion to HIV? 3. Should I come by to Freedomhealth to do a HIV duo test? Is testing recommended in this hypothetical situation?

After reading many posts it seems like there r many equipment companies with different standards..being in africa i can assume labrotories must be buying cheap kits for maximum profits .. Can this be a risk and need to be verified by Elisa ?

I have just read that people who have been sexually active in africa - excluding libya, egypt, morocco, tunisia and algeria - are not allowed to be a blood donor in certain countries. They dont mention Asia or South America. Why is it that HIV spreads so easily in africa (apparently)?

Is pelvic adhesive disease, endometriosis, IC and fibromyalgia related in anyway?

I am a 41 year old female who spent two weeks in the Ivory Coast of W. Africa in 1996. Upon returning I had stroke-like symptoms (slowed speech, slowed gate, slowed thinking) and was subsequently diagnosed with viral meningitis/encephalitis. Ruled out Lymes, malaria (via smear), CSF was elevated WBC, Lymphocytes. Symptoms resolved within eight days with the exception of bilat leg weakness, such as the inability to lift my legs into the car, and severe fatigue.

I have recently moved to West Africa. I believe I may have done something very stupid. I took a girl home from a bar, we did not have sex only oral sex, her giving me and I fingered her. I bite my nails and cuticles and although I had no bleeding cuts I did have broken skin around my finger nails. After fingering her i noticed a flap of skin anging off my finger, I squeezed it but no blood came out indicating it was not an :open" wound. Was there any risk here?
