That must have been terrible to have been stuck with a sharp!!! I hope you had a good follow up with a doctor on that one. Hey any advice from anyone is awesome at this point..ive even tried asking my son (who is 6 months old) he just ends up pulling my hair...like im not loosing enough as it is!!! See this is where im confused with all my testing im not sure if i was tested for HIV. See im thinking i might have been tested when i got pregnant...im thinking thats a manditory blood test since it affects your baby...but then again im not sure. I do plan on getting retested just in case though. I was tested in Jan for STDs and stuff because I was changing partners from my ex to my now husband..and i like to be safe (they laughed at me lol). That all came back negative and i had had symptoms for at least a couple months before them. So im thinking HIV may not be a possibitily but i wasnt sure how long you can get a negative but it still be possitive. To give you a brief overview here are my symptoms

Enlarged lymph nodes on each side of my neck and by my clavical- 2 yrs
6 enlarged joints in my chest near sternum- 2 yrs
Fatigue (could be due to anemia)-2 yrs
chronic joint pain-2 yrs
elevated/flucating liver enzemes- 2 yrs
more current symptoms within the last 2 months
extreme hair loss (going freakin bald!)
naseaua/vomiting
weight loss/appetite loss 17 pounds in 3 weeks can no longer gain weight
swollen liver and spleen
migrane headaches
random fevers ranging from 99 to 101
tender swollen stomach
lower back pain
infection after infection- 3 ear infections/UTI/possibly mono now
Reynalds syndrome (that runs in my family and might mean nothing)
Protein and blood in urine (could be from the uti)
Im not sure about the CBC...all i know is that my white blood count is 38 and should be 70...i know i have anemia thats all i know...

Its alot i know...i also tested negative for arthritis..forgot to mention that...it does look like i might be making it up since there are so many symptoms...random symptoms...but im not lying...believe me i love food to much, i love my hair too much...and honest a bumpy chest is not my thing lol..however you can see and feel and the lumps and nodes and see my hair is falling out...my doctor and family members did tell me i wasnt imagining that (i began think i was so nuts i was haccuniating)
