I'm still waiting for my results to come back but 2 different doctors yesterday have said I have herpes. I'm absolutely heartbroken! I hadn't slept with anyone for over a year and then I ended up sleeping with a guy I have been friends with for 6 years. 5 days after this encounter I started with symptoms and now I am in so much pain, I can barely walk! I'm having to pee in the shower and i have around 30 blisters on my genitals. I'm taking aciclovir and I've just ordered every herb/supplement that is meant to help with it. I've had this about a week now and it seems to be getting worse! When will this end? I feel so stupid and disappointed in myself.  I don't know how I can live with this and dread getting another breakout like this.

i have almost the exact same story. But mine was with a friend I've had for 15 years! (I'm 31 somehow lol). I thank god had a quick healing first outbreak, with very mild lesions. (Knocking on wood because I'm terrified another will come soon). I also, like you, bought every supplement, and tea, and oil..etc.. and completely changed my diet, the day i was diagnosed. Not sure if that helped me heal so fast, or if it is still helping, but I figure its worth a try.

Im 3 weeks in now, and finally getting energy back. Today was my first day with less pressure in vaginal area, and no aches.. finally!  

 

Praying for all of us. Sending you positive energy.

Hi

Today I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! I can pee normally and I just feel a little tender down there now but it's a massive improvement. I am worried about my diet though as I eat a vegan diet and there are so many things that I eat alot of in my diet that are no go's.  I am going to try everything not to have another outbreak. I have done lots of reading on it and I don't feel as sickened now as I initially did. I'm 41 and have never had an std in my life and to get this at my age just feels so ridiculous but I guess life throws stuff at you and you have to deal with it!

Hope you don't get another breakout!

Yay good to hear that! I also have a massive improvement, and have also had to majorly adjust my diet, as i was used to eating pretty much never. So many rules with foods, even all the veggies i love. Missing sweet potato like crazy.:weary:. I feel the same about the age thing...how did my body get this at 31!!!:rolleyes:

I think with the food I'm going to experiment. I can't cut out everything they say because with the vegan diet which I'm not willing to compromise on, I would barely be eating anything! They say you shouldn't eat nuts and seeds but I read a post on here and they said that they started taking black seed oil after suffering constant breakouts and they haven't had a breakout since. I guess this next year is going to be a roller coaster of adjustments!

      @WilsoInAus i requested my partner, but they are refusing from testing and saying they dint had any symptoms. Now the only way i left is to wait untill 12 weeks window period right? I am not getting what to do in this case. Any suggestion for any other tests?

      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.
