About a year ago my wife and I were separated. She moved out for a period of time during which we worked out our problems, and she moved back in after 3 months (From end of July to end of October) During that 3 months, she confessed that she slept with 2 separate men, one of which without using protection. That particular individual is a 24 hour coffee drinker, and smoker. I mention this because I’m sure his habits led to his ejaculate to be some very raunchy product. I’m wondering if it could have permanently changed her internal vaginal chemistry? She too was smoking from the end of July until March of this year. She moved back here in October. All of these changes were noticed immediately, when she came back. It’s been nearly 8 months now, and these symptoms have not improved at all, only gotten worse. As soon as she came back, I noticed the following changes in her body:

1. Her vagina has a much stronger, more pungent odor than it used too. It smells bad, like rotten, bacteria laden food. When I mentioned this, she was tested for all ST-D’s and vaginal infections. All came back negative. Her diet has not changed, and she quit her tobacco habit. She does not drink coffee or alcohol, and no prescriptions have been removed, changed, or introduced.

2. At night she snores very loudly, and when not snoring, she wheezes. This can be so loud at times that it will wake me out of a dead sleep.

3. In the morning, her breath smells significantly worse than it did in the past.

4. Her vagina has changed colors, and looks less attractive than it did before. It’s got more wrinkled, and a few other things I haven’t been able to decipher just yet.

I understand these are normal changes for someone to go over in a lifetime, but this happened in only 3 months. I also understand that it’s normal for a vagina to smell, morning breath is bad, and people snore. But I’d never have noticed this if it wasn’t a dramatic change from who she was before. Once again please be respectful. If not for my sake, for hers. Its hard enough for me to deal with the fact that these things happened in the past. Much less to have daily reminders of them.
It’s been nearly a year… Although its hard to deal with, but it’s not affecting me that much. I want to know why this is happening.

Today, my throat feels better but I ache very badly and am blowing my nose what seems like every 30 seconds, sneezing, headache (like I am at the bottom of a deep end of pool kind of aching), staying thirsty, and a temperature of hovering between 96 and just under 98 degrees (according to my thermometer). I go from feeling cold, to feeling warm, to feeling normal. My room is typically quite warm, but I don’t feel as warm in my room as I usually do. I also feel a great deal of pressure in my ears. My chest feels achy, particuarlly towards the bottom of my ribcage.

I have not been coughing at all, that i can remember. As of now, I have not had much of a loss in appetite. I do not feel like I need to throw up nor do I have stomach pains as of now. I say this because sometimes what is NOT wrong with you can asssist in a diagnosis.

is it a bad cold, or a rather mild case of the flu? Typically I get a fever when I am sick rather than a low temp (but my thermometer could be malfunctioning, but I think its fine).

One thing I have read about cold vs. flu is that flu symptoms onset much faster, like for me, yet at the same time a flu has a fever typically and a cold doesn’t always have one. I have a “reverse fever” I guess, so which one would that most likely be?

I’d like to know which one I likely have, I am a college student and I do not want to stay sick for a long period of time. Luckily I have no friday classes and I have monday off so i have four days to get better.
