Hi,

After returning from holiday to Vietnam last year I have been feeling unwell. First of all I had jock itch which cleared up with the use of Canestan cream. After a few weeks I noticed a dull pain in my abdomen on the left and right hand sides just above my pelvis. The left hand side being the worst. I visited my GP, who took blood samples. The samples returned clear. My GP then asked me to give more blood to check for HIV....because I had been to South East Asia, although I stated that I did not have sex while there. This came back negative. Another visit and the GP checked my prostate because at this stage I complained about having low pressure when peeing and sore abdomen when peeing also. I was told my prostate was fine. Nearly a full year later and I have no answer. I have been referred to a specialist doctor for a colonoscopy and a specialist to check my bladder. Just today I noticed a lump in my right eyeball (on the white) like a jelly filled cyst.

At this stage I am beginning to get really scared and it seems my GP does not know what is wrong with me. I am having feeling really scared that I may have picked up some sort of tropical disease that Western doctors dont understand. I should state also that my doctor requested a stool sample to check for parasites which came back clear.

Anyone ever have similar problems? I am at my wits end with worry!
