Asking for advice on how to advocate for yourself

Hello,

I'm 21F who has been struggling with what seems to be ureaplasma or mycoplasma hominis for more than 3 months (end of March). I have been to the ER, 2 gynos, my GP, and now being sent to a dermatologist for my symptoms. I had countless tests done except these two because doctors refuse to test me saying it's not something that causes symptoms or make you sick (French guidelines).

I am struggling with bloating (my 1st symptom), urgency to pee (that turned into just bladder pain and bloat), itching on the vulva sometimes around the urethra more (after peeing), yellow discharge, lower back pain, abdominal pain (it's not only the reproductive area anymore but also up), my skin is really damaged down there, always red and burns sometimes.

The smell isn't bad but it's off.

All in all I have had periods when it felt better and worse but it's never been this bad.

Has anyone gotten treatment in France and where ?

Strange pimple/doesn't go away and is inflammed and painful

Hey, I have had this strange usually white pimple since early April. I noticed it cycles between times of calm and times of some inflammation (it burns a little). I originally thought it was HSV, but I was tested negative for it and the pimple never went away.

My lips have never been lumpy before and I find the behaviour of this cyst/pimple/whatever this is quitte strange.

Has anyone had this before ? The pimple has grown and (sorry it's disgusting) is filles with pus. I wonder if it could be relate to any STI. (Pic 1 : friday, pic 2 : saturday, pic 3 : sunday)

Weird microcyst/pimple on the edge of lips and idk what to think

Hey, I have had this strange usually white pimple since early April. I noticed it cycles between times of calm and times of some inflammation (it burns a little). I originally thought it was HSV, but I was tested negative for it and the pimple never went away.

Now I wonder if it could be HPV or something else. Has anyone had this before ? My lips have never been lumpy before and I find the behaviour of this cyst/pimple/whatever this is quitte strange.

EBV equivoquial results

Hi, I'm 21.

I've been dealing with what seems to be mono symptoms for a month and a half and it doesn't go away (tonsils are swollen and painful, fatigue that keeps me from living my daily life with ease, muscle pain, mouth ulcers idk if it is linked but never had this before the other symptoms). Since last week my lymphatic systems seems to be going slow (swollen ankles, random cyst in elbow crease.

The symptoms started while I was dating someone so I first thought I had an sti. All tests came back negative (after waiting 6+ weeks).

In the meantime I got the ebv serology (detecting anti bodies) done and it came back saying equivoquial. 1st time was April 17th, 2nd time was May 7th. (IgM say 0.71 and 0.75)

Can the ebv anti bodies test be triggered by another herpes virus like cmv ? I wonder this virus infected me rather than ebv since my results are so confusing.

Has anybody gone through this before ? I'm starting to worry :/
