I was the sickest I've ever been. I woke up one morning and just couldn't move. The doc came to see me, took some bloods and they came back as positive for mono and CMV. Apparently my white blood cells looked bad as well - I asked 'could HIV cause that?' (I knew I had put myself at risk), they did a HIV test but that was negative. I then spent 8 weeks off work sick. I had chronic diarrhea, lost 34% of my body weight, suffered nightsweats, joint pains, fever, fatigue, headaches, couldn't eat anything, tonsillitis and came out in a rash all over my body which didn't itch. About the only thing I didn't get was a cold! I just had no energy to do anything. I'd get help into the shower and just curl up and cry. I eventually got out to hospital and tested positive for HIV, secondary syphilis, chlamydia and giardia. This all started Feb 08. I've now had to start meds because my bloods never recovered from seroconversion and they should have done well before now.
