Std - als?

[mraashiq]

Hi,

I had encounter with CSW 3 1/2 months ago. I got some infection not diagonised yet. I took doxycline for 2 weeks which reduced my testosterone. I then took testogel for 2 weeks, after 4 weeks encounter. At week 5 of encounter I started to get intense Muscle Twitching (fasciculations) with Wasting in my legs and then arms, which is ongoing till today. My lean body mass has been wasting from my buttocks and around the body.

I have atrophied testicles, atrophied hands and feet and atrophied face/ears. The atrophy of the tescticles happened at week 2, the other atrophies happened at week 10, fusculations and wasting started at week 5.

I took amoxicillian antibotics at week 8 and clomid 1 tablet at week 10.

Is this ALS? Which STD have I got?

I had 3 months HIV test and STD tests which were Negative. Please respond with what is happening to me.

Sounds like you really need to have a consultation with a good doctor. I have no idea what to tell you. It does not sound like ALS to me but an ALS neurologist needs to examine you. Since you are concerned about an STD it is likely that which is causing your problems.

I probably shouldn't ask but how do you tell if your testicles have atrophied? Last I heard ears didn't have muscle so shouldn't atrophy. If you're for real, and not a University prankster, I'd be off seeing another doctor and not be hanging around here asking advice.

AL.

You definitely need a good neuro.. Does not sound like ALS.. folow Joel's helpful advice.

You said you had an encounter with CSW 3 1/2 months ago.......

Does CSW = Cute Sinful Women? Plural?

Joel,

I've been trying to figure that one out myself. Thanks for asking for the both of us!

I had to google this one... my best guess is Commercial Sex Worker.

This should be in the do I have ALS forum! LOL I would love to see the responses. Ear atrophy!

Whoever you are, ALS does not progress like that.

Go to a doctor and show them your nuts

Can I do it until I go blind ?

Nope , just until your testicles atrophy.

:roll:

Not to take anything away from the seriousness of the original question but how exactly do you know when your testicles atrophy? Like, do they shrink up? Not to get too graphic here but don't they do that anyway when it is cold? Or maybe they aren't as strong(?) as they were before? Inquiring minds want to know! Or at least this one does

you guys are too funny!

Last I heard ears didn't have muscle so shouldn't atrophy.

Unless there's something you fellas have been keeping from us ladies, I don't think testicles are muscles, either. This is such an educational forum. This may be something Dr. Wright will have to diagnosed, doncha think?

 

[Zaphoon]

Oh Beth, come on! Testicles MUST be muscles if they can atrophy! Hey, it has to be true with the ears, too! Haven't you guys and gals every heard of ear muscles?

Obviously this guy has something on the ball.

(oops!)

Perhaps this is a condition confined to England,

Olly or Tich1 can you shed any light on the symptoms, well one of them then:wink::smile:

OMG, I can't get this thread out of my head! If its for real, I apologize for any insensitivity on our parts, but are you seriously expecting any answers from an ALS support forum?

When you say atrophied do you mean shrunken or what? ALS causes muscle weakness and eventually atrophy. Your best bet is to get yourself back to a medical doctor.
