Long 5 month of confusion

It has been a long almost 5 months of confusion. I slept with a guy in early April and had itchy vaginal and irritation nothing else after 2 days. Later started getting leg sensation, tingles on both legs all the way up to my head, muscle twitches all over body, and leg burning/numbness on one leg(right side), zaps when I’m wearing tight clothes only. most of these came a months after potentially being exposed. I’ve had 5 negative pcr swabs. I go in every time I feel a symptom and always negative. The doctors keep saying it’s not Hsv but I can’t shake it off. I’ve never developed a sore or blisters down there. I’ve developed so much anxiety and stress because of this. Does Hsv work this way? I’m still having vaginal irritation and it’s been almost 5 months. I tested positive for hsv 1 as I knew it would. I get a small tiny red bump on my lip 2-3 times a year so I always suspected I had oral hsv. Has anyone experienced anything like this? We did not have oral either. Should I believe the negative swabs? I also convinced my doctor to prescribe daily antivirals hoping my vaginal irritation would go away but nothing no changes. The doctor prescribed an estrogen cream which helps very little only been using for a week and half.

Is it normal to experience non stop leg sensation for months without ever getting an outbreak? Terri Warren always it’s extremely unlikely to contract in two different places. Not sure what to believe.

Confused - genital herpes

I slept at a guy 25 days ago. Sex was painful we had to stop. Condom fell off at one point which I was upset about. 2 days later felt itchy, burning, pins and needles in my legs on day 3. Pins and needles came after the burning and itch. Maybe due to high stress about having herpes.

Went into the doctor’s office, tested for everything and doesn’t think it’s herpes because there’s no sores/ lesions. Said I’m allergic to latex. She did say I had a lot of white cells and put me on antibiotics which helped with the itch. FYI ruled out all STDs First visit (4/22)

Went into for a second opinion, second doctor said she doesn’t think it’s herpes and herpes doesn’t cause pins and needles feeling in legs and to go see my primary care doctor. Swabbed my vaginal opening and tested negative for hsv 1 and hsv 2 but didn’t swab my labia which was also itchy. Second visit(4/27)

Went into a third time different doctor had a rash and burning around my anus due to hemorrhoids and red rash around it. Said it wasn’t herpes. The doctor said if it was herpes I would for certain know the pain would be bad. He said I would have had blisters already followed by the itch and burning. Also diagnosed me with BV. Which I don’t think is true because the other doctors didn’t catch it in the last two visits. Third visit (5/8)

Today 5/ 11 now have sore leg and a sore vagina only on my right side with my leg occasionally burning. Am I losing my mind, experiencing symptoms that aren’t real. Idk what to do at this point. I’m googling and feel like I felt all those symptoms. Still randomly get an itch in my vagina. Feel every single sensation. Do I believe the three doctors?

I slept with a guy about 21 days ago protected and somehow the condom came off in the middle of everything. The sex was painful had to tell him to stop. Fast forward two days later I’m having discharge, burning and irritation so I immediately go get tested(everything is negative) and doctor rules out, BV, and yeast. I ask are there any sores and she says no. I go in for a second time on day 9 to make sure I don’t have any sores again and no sores. She did a HPV swab and a herpes Swab in the area it was irritated (all came back negative). By this point I’m feeling all kids of stuff. I’m feeling weak, and pins and needles in my legs and I’m on day 20 of feeling symptoms mainly just the pin and needles on my legs. She refuses to do a blood herpes test and she said my symptoms aren’t herpes symptoms. She thinks I was allergic to latex but that has never happened before. What should I do?
