You might be depressed..

I feel it too buddy. I found I was jut depressed. I've had it all my life or at least since I was 5. I didnt know what I had till High School and it devastated me. I remember being tired all the time. Im learning to live with it and I've surrounded myself with loving and accepting friends.. I met a girl who also has HSV-1 and now we support each other when we have outbreaks.. Remember your not alone! Good Luck to you...

I feel the same way. i can't sleep, i wake up at night when i never used to, and i always seem to have a dull headache behind my eyes ( most likely from lack of a good sleep). It really sucks. i keep getting people saying how tired i look and i can't say why. i just say i have been feeling a little under the weather...haha. alittle, ya think!

I am ususally very happy and energetic but i just always want to lie in bed.

I hope it passes for all of us, and hey atleast there are a few others with raccoon eyes out there. u are not the only one. :shock:

To all my tired herpes carriers... boost your immune systems!!!!

Fatigue and stress can lead to outbreaks. Take Vitamin B's to relieve the stress. But quit coffe and sodas with caffeine - they are more trouble than they are worth. Amp up on vitamin c and echinacea and for goodness sake, take it easy and get some rest.

yep

I've definitely been tired a lot, even after getting a lot of sleep. It's been like this for who knows how long. Maybe since the beginning of high school. At first I thought maybe it was because I was still growing but by now I've stopped. My friends pointed it out to me a few weeks ago too. Is this normal? I'd be interested in finding out.

Since I'v had herpes I have diffently been more tired then ussual, but I'm not sure if it's just because I am getting older and work to much or if it's from the "H".

      SUCCESS STORY: Herpes is an opportunity to built trust and connection through vulnerability.

      By CHT · Posted

      Hi "Jeremy"..... I agree, the topic of your HSV status does not need to be something you disclose too soon in a developing relationship..... get to know each other first....see how it's going and as it progresses, then the HSV issue will naturally need to be revealed.... it's my personal opinion though that before there is any sexual encounter you ought to disclose your HSV status.... I know some will disagree with me on this but, I think it is morally wrong not to disclose first.  This can be a make/break situation for most people but, again, I feel it is simply wrong not to give the other person the whole story since your decision not to disclose could put their health at risk.... that is simply not an option in my opinion.  Looking back to my "pre-HSV" life I most certainly would want my partner to disclose their HSV+ status before intimacy so that I could make my decision as to whether I want to take that risk or not....

      Thanks, CHT. I appreciate the feedback. The whole trauma of going through this has led me to figure out a lot about myself and my attachment wounds, so I'm taking courses to come out of this better. This girl really was my dream woman in so many ways, it's been the hardest heartbreak to deal with ever. I'm truly in a lot of pain, but using the pain as fuel to launch that new business and work with coaches. I also opened up to my family about HSV, so my parents and sister know now, and they were very loving and accepting of it. Since opening up about it, I feel way better around this thing. After opening up, I also found out that some mutual friends in our family have discordant couples who are married with children, so HSV hasn't stopped them from living a loving life. The thing is... all of these couples I mention did not disclose until 6-8 months into the relationship. So now I'm thinking it might be better not to disclose until I know things are very serious. I'll of course stay on the medication and use protection, but maybe this is a better route than disclosing upfront and scaring women off.

      Could this be hsv-2?

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Hey @Lcj987 and welcome to the website. You can be sure that isn't HSV-2, looks nothing like it. It is much more likely to be folliculitis or inflamed fordyce spots.

      Unsure if Herpes, awaiting swabs, need help

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Hey @JackThrowAway herpes causes an outbreak where it enters the body first and maybe a progressive spread. If it doesn't cause an outbreak at the entry site then it won't cause one elsewhere, it also won't 'jump' upon infection - it would be more likely that the lesions are continuous from the penis to the anus. Nevertheless, testing trumps symptoms or any interpretation of symptoms. The correct conclusive result arises when: you have a positive swab; or An IgG HSV-2 level over 3.5 (Herpeselect test).

      Slept with someone unprotected, roughly 2 weeks ago now. I felt generally unwell the couple of days after but I’d been drinking the whole weekend and didn’t have much sleep either of the days of that weekend so put it down to that. 6 days after I noticed these spots appear on the shaft of my penis. Along with symptoms of discomfort in my shaft in the couple of days prior to them appearing. No pain when urinating at all that I have noticed. They don’t hurt, itch or tingle and they don’t have fluid in from what I can see or feel if I squeeze them and have never burst? I went to a sexual health clinic to get checked up, they took bloods to do a full test and looked at the spots but said they saw nothing that concerned them but I’m not sure about that, any advice? The smaller spots under the shaft are just follicles I had diagnosed years ago and non-sti related.
