hello - new to forums, new to herpes. I guess I am just looking for feedback that is from real people with real experiences and not my dr. For four weeks I have been experiencing tingling but no actual lesions etc. confirmed hsv 2. has anyone else had this happen and will an actual outbreak happen or could this be the extent?

What you are experiencing isn't uncommon. An outbreak can be as little as tingles or this could be prodrome signaling an outbreak is about to pop up. However, prodrome typically doesn't last this long and you would have seen blisters by now if it was prodrome.

If this is your first outbreak and you don't have blisters, then going forward your outbreaks probably never will have blisters. For almost everyone their first outbreak is the worst and any subsequent outbreak you have won't last as long. Initial outbreaks can last as little as a couple of days and as long as a couple of months. It all depends on your immune system.

Good luck!

hi Midwestgal,

sorry you're experiencing this, and i can totally relate. my outbreaks are basically all tingles all the time--and it makes me totally crazy. last week my doc gave me some lidocaine to try to numb it a little so i could maybe obsess over this a little less. as i'm sure you know, it's tough to forget about herpes when you constantly have "the tingles," as i call it. anyway, the lidocaine doesn't make a huge difference for me but maybe helps a little. i also posted on here about this issue a while ago and someone suggested some diluted tea tree oil--so you could try that (i haven't yet cause i keep forgetting to buy it). anyway, good luck! hope you feel better soon.

Thank you for the info and support. This has been a "trying" time to put it mildly. It's embarrassing to discuss and even worse to call and have to ask follow up questions because, let's face it, I didn't expect this and probably wasn't in any condition to focus when the dr gave me the results. Thanks so much for the support and going back through posts has been helpful - I know I am not alone in this!

      Pritelivir: At Last

      By @lw@ys · Posted

      Just another set of supporting articles to a potential release date in 2024 giving hope to sufferers whom the standard of care is currently worthless: Promising Progress in clinical trials for Pritelivir (herpescureadvocacy.com) HSV Treatment Readies for Approval — Precision Vaccinations News

      Cheaper Amenalief source

      By @lw@ys · Posted

      I have not found a cheaper source for Amenalief, and I've searched high and low. I have a thread called "Pritelivir at Last" you may want to follow as I have a strong belief that It may be available to the public in the summer of 2024 and as I find new info, I update the thread immediately. Now, may I suggest a combination of drugs that several others on this forum have found to be very effective over acyclovir alone? Myself and others have found that taking 40mg of omeprazole (Tagamet @dissolvedo2 ) with 1 gram of Valacyclovir in the morning and 1 gram of Valacyclovir in the evening alone for 3 days have had profound effectiveness at stopping outbreaks in their tracks. I'd like to remind you that I am not a doctor and at best I am personal researcher for what works for me. I @lw@ys share my findings with the forum in the hopes to help others alleviate their suffering. There is another drug combo that I have tried myself as well as others on this forum have tried and that I personally feel is a much more effective for myself. This combo is 1 gram of activated charcoal with 1-gram of valacyclovir in the morning followed by 1 gram of valacyclovir in the evening alone, again for 3 days. I have found that this has reduced my outbreaks to almost only once a year and they are mild at worse. Again, just a reminder that this works for me and may not work for you but I always feel that i have to share this with anyone that cannot get this virus under control so I hope my findings can help those of you who cannot achieve relief with the standard treatment alone. The stronger anti-virals come with risks and if I can help anyone avoid those risks then by all means I feel I have done some good in this world. I only ask that you let me know if either of these suggestions work for you so that I can document it in my notes. Good luck my friend!

      Terrified I have herpes

      By Damian · Posted

      Hi @WhatDidIDo2023, hopefully all is well with you and your significant other and are still together.   Did she develop any other symptoms after you mentioned her getting itchiness? Was it determined what you had was contagious? Most likely developed a fungal disease and caused her a yeast or uti
