OB can go away anyday now...

[jeninla]

After all these years I have finally had the mother of all OB's. This one has lasted over 4 weeks now and I am really getting irritated. The aching in my ass and legs comes and goes. The lesions just won't go away. They are no worse nor any better than day 1 of this OB. I am taking 2g of zovirax a day, yea that's like 5 pills, plus i'm taking 4000 mg of Lysine. I am working out and trying to not just freak out over this. I know everybody's body is different. But somewhere in the back of my mind I'm thinking, "is this gonna go away??"

eventually, i used to stare at my outbreak trying to figure out if the sores were getting smaller, and eventually they did, and smaller and smaller and smaller, then crust. took a hell of a long time.

I want to know the same thing. I was diagnosed in November 2006 and it seems as if I have had an ob since then. I cannot remember a time since then when I did not have some symptom (aching leg, back, neck, base of head, or irritated vagina/anus. I must say I feel mentally better, I just wish my physical would get better.

How many more weeks...

Hi, Support 1,

I have been asking a similar question. I started having symptoms about 5 weeks ago and still itching, tingling, oedema is happening off and on. This is my first ob. I wish I was able to tell you what the norm is for duration of symptoms but I dont think there are any set rules. I would love to know myself. Good luck to you. Hopefully you will have relief soon.
