12 months on....
I had the peculiar realisation last night that I joined this forum almost exactly a year ago. It's a curious milestone to mark, looking back over ever increasing symptoms, countless consults and diagnostic tests, 2 surgeries and 2 hormone treatments and a whole load of emotional trauma along the way.

possible Behcet's Disease?
They left pretty bad
scars
on my vagina though (read that most herpes doesn't), and they never crusted over. Just disappeared. It's been 5 weeks since then, and I had finally gotten to where I wasn't thinking about my possible herpes diagnosis and was just enjoying life again, when BAM.

Bug bite issue
I am currently dealing with a bug bites issue. I have bright red bite marks when I wake up and am itchy everywhere, not just on the bites literally everywhere, all the time. I haven't found evidence of bed bugs and I have no idea what's causing this. Any insight would be amazing!!!

Extensive reading brought me to "Betadine", a potassium iodide solution sold in stores as an anti-biotic for scraps and minor

Lump under skin - help
Right so, little worried I gotta admit. I had my laparoscopy last Wednesday (so just over a week ago), no complications. I've been trying to move around - not to my usual level, I'm taking it easier - but still, I thought I was recovering really well! I think I jinxed it... Of the incisions I've had,

I was rolling around in the grass yesterday, maybe it was a bug bite or something. I also went to the
