  1. Hi Everyone, I am new to this website, but have been living with herpes for almost 18 years. A little history: my first year I had vaginal outbreaks every couple of months (always in the same place) and then it dwindled exponentially as the years passed. In fact, I haven't had an outbreak for almost 5 years until recently. Symptoms started with the leg pain...worst it had ever been and then the sore developed on my outer but cheek. Closer to my side then my genitals. When the sore finally erupted I thought it was a spider bite and then I looked up leg sores and realized you could get outbreaks almost anywhere on your body. The leg pain subsided when the sore broke out. A few days later, the leg pain came back and immediately messaged the doctor for an Rx for valtrex. I have been taking the meds regularly and as prescribed but the leg pain has been relentless. I thought the leg pain meant another outbreak was going to happen. Maybe it didn't? Has anyone else dealt with this? Additionally, has anybody else gone years without an outbreak and then when it reared its ugly head again it came back with a vengeance and in a completely different place? I am 42...could this be a hormonal thing? Also...if my outbreak is on my butt cheek is my vagina less contagious? I really haven't kept up with herpes info, because honestly the worst it ever was was when I first got it and I thought my life was over (as everyone does). I did tons of research then, but its hardly impacted my life like I thought it would. Thanks All!
