Hello there,
I had a massage about 2 months ago, which I often do. The massage was focused on my neck, as I was having some issues due to sitting in front of the computer a lot for work. The woman who massaged me was small and sat on my back/buttocks so she could focus on my upper back and neck. She massaged my neck, back and upper buttocks for about 45 minutes. While she was sitting on me, I noticed that it got rather wet on my lower back and upper buttocks, where she sat. It was rather disgusting so I asked her to stop and I left. No more than two days after the massage I developed a whole body itch and burning like I have never experienced before, and this continued for about 4-5 weeks. Now the full body burning has subsided but I am experiencing sharp, jabbing pains, mostly on my arms and legs. I still experience some burning here and there, mostly like sunburn on patches on my back. I also experience these small red dots mostly on my fingers that come and are painful. They are present anywhere from hours to days and then they are gone without a trace. There is no blister or open lesion and they move around all over, also on occasion on my feet. Sometimes they come and go within one hour. I am also experiencing some hot flushes, which I normally do not have. I have also noticed some red dots on the back of my throat, which may or may not be related.
I am im my mid 40s and I run every day, which I have been doing for years. I don't drink much at all and don't smoke, and I have a good life free of stress with my family. This situation I find slightly unnerving, as if I did catch something it happened ALMOST via casual contact. I have two children and my wife, and I have been careful around them as a result of this awareness. They all know about the situation and my wife insists that it's all in my head.
My question is if anyone has experienced symptoms like this - and if so, if you can provide any clarity about what they are related to. Also, if there is any kind of infection (viral, bacterial) that can be transmitted like this. Worse case the there were bodily secretions from the lady's genitals and even sores (I have absolutely no idea if she had any). The one thing I noticed was that my symptoms came so fast, within 48 hours.
Thank you.
