A question for the ladies - I contracted Herpes 2 in March this year and was just diagnosed a week ago. Didn't have blisters but this damn burning and irritated feeling just won't go away. Can you tell me if any of you have tried anything that works to calm this down and will it ever, ever go away??? I am still overwhelmed and cry everyday and maybe that's why this just isn't going away :(

I'm sure I will learn to deal and accept it but it's just going to take time. Thanks in advane for the tips!

I contracted it in late March/early April, and I had burning and tingling for a long time (3 months) after the blisters. And....all this week, I have worse than normal back pain, leg cramps and occasional itching. I am taking the lysine, vit c and b, olive leaf, green tea, zinc etc also. Maybe be more gentle when you wash and dry yourself? Try the topical remedies; you will find info about them on this site. I am still overwhelmed also; that could be part of the problem. Hang in there.....

(BIG SIGH) - Bullfrog, I cannot tell you how many baths I take a day just because I feel so damn dirty. Not sure how I am getting to get over this. I just can't snap out of it - when I keep busy I tend to feel better down there so I am exhausting myself everyday, which I heard, is not good either. Tomorrow is another day...

I was diagnosed with HSV2 in November 2006 and before that I experienced a lot of irritation and burning in my vagina area. I never would have thought it was HSV2. I actually thought I was allergic to something like the soap I was using or the detergent I was using to wash my clothes. I tried everything until one day I started to feel very sick and a very bad pain in my lower back. After I developed the lower back pain, leg pain, headache, fever, and pain when I urinated, I decided to go to the doctor. The doctor said after examining me and listening to my symptoms, she felt that I had herpes. I had a very small bump that looked like a pimple in my vagina, but she could not do a culture because it was too small. So, I got blood work that confirmed HSV2. It has taken me a while to get over it and I am still not over it. As a matter of fact, I had a set back a few weeks ago and I am finally feeling better from that. As I am typing this, it seems as if I am experiencing a funny feeling in my vagina. I take hot baths and showers to help ease the irritation and I try not to rub my vagina hard when I wipe it after showers/baths/urinating. I am going to start taking a vitamin combination that is similar to what bluefrog stated. I hope that works for me. Whatever I find that is successful, I will definitely share it with everyone. Take care!:)

      HSV genital likely?

      By CHT · Posted

      Hello "FeelingLost".... your fears and concerns are understandable but, nothing you've described regarding the sexual encounter would cause you to contract herpes.... further, your symptoms are not herpes related.  Best of all, your doctor is correct, your results don't show any herpes here.  You can relax.... definitely have your GP take a look at things and see what might be causing the symptoms but, again, none of them are typical herpes related.  I wish you the best in terms of talking to your wife about this encounter.... hopefully she will understand and you both can work through this amicably.  We all make mistakes.... be careful not to beat yourself up too hard over this.... you can become so racked with guilt that you start imagining physical symptoms.  Best of luck.... and take care..... come back to the site if you have questions.

      HSV genital likely?

      By FeelingLost75 · Posted

      Hi (I’m really scared and feel really disappointed in myself and worried about my future), I had oral sex with a condom almost 3 weeks ago and a massage parlor. I also received a hand job at the same time prior to putting a condom on, also may have rubbed my penis on her back a little. Did not touch her genitals I don’t recall any sores on her back. After the event she handed me a pice of TP and after I took off the condom I wiped my penis head to clear away the excess ejaculation…this is where I suspect I got infected, she had just gone pee and wiped and maybe touched a sore or something and then I got it on my penis from the tp? Idk. I’m just flailing.   After this I’ve had discomfort on the skin below the head of my penis and 4 bumps for 2 weeks now, the bumps don’t seem to have changed in size. I also had frequent urination for about a week and have had dull pain in my groin on and off. I also have some pins and needles on the sides of my abdomen/trunk that get worse when I go out in the heat or get dehydrated. I’ve had a lot of trouble sleeping, likely due to guilt and shame and worry about the future.   so I got one test done at 10 days from the event (idk know if this can tell me anything… the doctor assured me it was 100% correct and I don’t have herpes. I was not physically examined). I got a full panel std. neg for everything. HSV-1 results: IgG 0.3 / HSV-2 IgG 0.9 hsv-1 IgM = 2.2 hsv-2 IgM = 3.0 (Reference V. Negative: Less than 9.0 Borderline: 9.0 to 11.0 Positive: Greater than 11.0) I have an appointment with my GP on Thursday, hoping he can help. Will likely go to a std testing service tomorrow to see if I can get in an antiviral proactively. Plan to get tested again this week.

      GHSV1 has be going crazy

      By TS4real · Posted

      May 13 ( day I will never forget).. a guy I was dating and I drank way to much and decided to have anal sex. We did use protection however, not enough lube, wasn’t done correctly and it was painful. So bad that I yelled out and fell off the bed. Anyway, oral was also performed on me anal and vaginal. Flash forward to 3-4 days after that. I was in the most intense pain I had ever felt. I went to a gyn she tool one look and said it looks like herpes. She swabbed me . 2 days after that, yes it’s HSV1 . I was still in pain, irritated anal area and vaginal area and It was unbearable.  today, I still have irritation and itchy and when I pass a bowel i’m in pain and the itch is crazy.     When I first was diagnoses the gyn gave me valtrex which I did not take bc I was in so much pain I could not move for 2 days.  Groin lymphs were swollen I had fever , tired etc.  I am wondering if I had taken the valtrex would it have kinda liked stopped the virus in it’s tracks enough to reproduce? Do people see a correlation between no more outbreaks and immediate initial valtrex  use ? I am 43, I never thought this wound happen as I am not a promiscuous person, I hardly date and I always use protection when I do have intercouse , have yearly std tests. I’m just so sad that i’m at this point right now . I’m trying not to get depressed but this is making my body feel miserable. I’m an avid runner and biker and mom of two teens. I feel like my life as I knew is over. I want to feel better already.
