Still not feeling 100%


Marebear

Recommended Posts

People have told me and I have read that it can take up to 4 weeks to recover from a first hsv2 outbreak. 

I am about 3 weeks out from first sign of symptoms and almost 3 weeks from first starting valtrex

Things still feel slightly tender. Not sore or painful per se. And tender when I have to pee or first start to urinate. Again not painful, just kinda tender feeling. 

My perineum area has felt slightly itchy and maybe a tiny bit swollen,I can't really tell (maybe it's all in my head) and I'm still having a little milky colored discharge. That is not constant, just every once in a while. 

I was on loads of antibiotics before I had my results back and then diflucan. 

I guess I'm wondering is this all normal? Will it get better? I feel like I'm never going to get 100% better and I'm scared to have sex again because I'm afraid it will be painful. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I hope this goes away soon.  I cant offer much help other than I have read similar things as you. Hopefully someone else will offer some insight.

In my experience you're never going to feel 100% again, at least not for very long. 

I always sort of feel something going on, or do feel something going on. Then again, I have never used anything like valtrex

During the treatment for my first HSV2 outbreak I was also taking loads of antibiotics to cure my pelvic inflammation disease, which led to a serious yeast infection. 

 

Now im second month in and having my second outbreak and I’m starting to get white yellow-ish discharge again. I’m confused if this is yeast infection or herpes! I feel like we’re in a similar situation. How do you tell! Lol

Hi Marebear.  Please disregard this nonsense.  This guy is a glass half empty kind of guy.  You know, the chicken little type who always screams...."the sky is falling, the sky is falling" Just continue working with your Dr., eat right and get your rest. You may have other outbreaks but I'm told they get less intense and less frequent. You sound like a strong person and already know this kind of negativity is not for you.  I think you will be just fine going forward.

      Good morning. My name is Marlena and I come from Poland. Sorry, my English is average. For two years I have been in a relationship with a man, for a year and a half I have been struggling with intimate problems. On average, my intimate condition is getting worse every month. Then I feel itching, redness, swelling around the entrance to the vagina, small blisters (not always). Most often it is only red and swollen, itches and then disappears. This state lasts 3-4 days. I come from a small town, doctors don't know what it is. They say it's 'skin irritation'. They prescribe moisturizing creams with lactic acid, probiotics. It doesn't help. I did a blood test for HSV on my own, which is very expensive in Poland, but it does not separate HSV1 from HSV2. The doctor, when he shows these results, says that it's not herpes, but irritation. I would like to add that in the past I suffered from herpes on the lips, then it was a 'scab'. There has never been a scab in an intimate area. Sometimes there are blisters that last 1-2 days, but not always. So what do high blood test results mean? I would like to add that in Poland people do not talk about the HSV virus. It's just that sometimes someone has it on their lips and that's it. Results translation: IgM HSV 1/2: questionable IgG HSV 1/2: result above the measuring range https://files.fm/f/4cpu7uee4

      This is my first time posting here. Im generally pretty anxious when it comes to anything to do with health conditions etc. For context I have had jock itch and fungal infections previously on my buttcrack. I have had 0 new sexual partners and I am not concerned about my girlfriend cheating at all. 4 days ago my balls began itching and red pretty much all over, as you can see some general flakeyness and what looks to be a lesion I noticed on Monday when I checked them out. My partner and I do get cold sores from time to time so the anxious part of me is concerned this could be herpes, but at the same time could be some sort of fungal infection. My doctor cant see me until tomorrow so I just have to worry until then. There is no pain and nothing on the penis or anywhere else, just general itchiness. Any ideas if this is herpes or not?

      Yes, but every married person who I found out about that has this waited 6-8 months into the relationship to disclose it. But maybe you're right. If I had told her 6-7 months in, she'd still have Googled it and flipped out, and maybe it would have been harder then. I don't know. I don't see myself going through this level of pain and rejection so easily next time. I really don't. I'm taking the meds. I use protection. It's been almost a decade since I've had it so I'm not worried about shedding or passing it on so easily. British studies confirm that the first 2 years are the most contagious and we're passed that. I'm just over this. I've never been in so much emotional pain in my life.
