Hi All, its been a while since Ive visited but I havent forgotten you. While I have still been dealing with my issues, I am glad to see that most of you are coping well with yours.

Im not sure if I mentioned this before and Id like to know if this sounds completely outrageous to anyone.

Ok, so last year when I first started having tingling, twitching, and all sorts of bizarre things...including a very noisy stomach gurgling, I noticed that my girlfriend was experiencing many of the same things. She brushed them off, but Im not that kind of person. I knew something was wrong and started pursuing the causes early in case it was something serious. I saw gastro...endo and colonosopy negative, bloodwork was always negative except mild ana 1:40? Then I started going to the neuros who have tested me up and down the "wazoo". To date, no tests have shown anything abnormal...even skin biopsy.

Over the last year, we both experienced fatigue, back/neck pains, twitching etc. I stopped talking about all my symptons to her since I think she became much more stressed when I did. Now, there are soooo many more things that I have felt, but too numerous to mention here. I still notice that a few of my problems, such as, behind my left knee began to feel like something was going on inside of it, my gf is also complaining of...i never told her about mine. Lower back pain..she too has...practically everything.

By the way, I did test pos for herpes simplex 1 last year and have always wondered if its possible that my symptoms have anything to do with it despite what is commonly known.

So..i have noticed that when my gf and I DO NOT KISS...i feel a little better...but when we DO KISS...(french), the next day or 2, I start feeling worse.

My theory: Last year, one of us may have transmitted a virus to the other that has been responsible for all of this. My fear is that we are both getting worse, as my legs and feet, neck, arms are still having issues yet the testing has not shown anything. My stomach and hers are also in a state of too frequent hunger and nastiness.

Sorry so long: Please let me know what you think. Does this sound familiar? Thanks so much.
