This is a pretty thorough testing listing:

Dr. Latov is also at Cornell.

Thanks guys, only reason why I wanted to see someone soon is because my symptoms seem to be progressing rather quickly. I may consider seeing Chin as well.

That's a ton of tests! I know I got some of them done already through my primary I believe. I was considering Latov but I read some unfavorable things about him, but i'm sure he knows his stuff.

The reason I believe mine could be infection related is because when symptoms started 3 months ago, I remember having night sweats and swollen glands under the neck. No fever or any other infection symptoms. The night sweats only lasted a week. My glands are still a bit swollen but haven't changed in size since the start.

Did you ever have a monospot run? for Mononucleosis?

EBV virus.

When I had mono I had terrible sweating spells and swollen glands.

No I didn't. Those are the only symptoms I have though. Mono is usually accompanied by sore throat, fever, etc. Plus the symptoms only last for 1-2 months. I haven't read anything saying mono can exhibit neuropathic symptoms.

Mono is different for each person. The sore throat may be a secondary infection. (mine was staph-- I had a culture done).

I had it long ago in college when the blood test was first being used. It wasn't until I was about 30 that my hands and feet started up. But I still get swollen neck glands now and then to this day. My doctor says it is the dormant EBV acting up.

mono also accompanies with extreme fatigue, thats what i heard almost everyone who has it. Once herpes virus is dormant it is undetectable in the blood. if its rapid onset symptom, it can be an infection. but its been thought that more than 80% already have it before they enter teen years.
