So I had an outbreak 3 weeks ago, my first ever. I went and had an exam because I was diagnosed with a bladder infection and the pain was just getting worse. Turns out I had 4 ulcers, doctor takes blood and puts me on valtrex for a year. Today I call because they never called me with my results, if it was have 1 or 2 and thenurse said my igm and igg came back negative! I explained to her what I wrote above and she was just as confused as I am and is having the doctor call me. Can the blood work show negative when I clearly had an outbreak? Has this happened to anyone?

I am on Valtrex, 2G a day. I take 1, 1000mg tablet twice a day. The first day i felt like my vision was off, for example i was staring out into the grass and some parts looked higher (they weren't). I feel no side effects anymore ad i'm on day 3. I am on the 2000mg for 5 days then i cut down to 1000 (500mg x2) for a year. I'm so nervous for another OB. This was the worst thing I have ever experienced and I NEVER want to go through it again. I'm hoping this kicks it in the butt for awhile. How have you been recently?

I dont know the answer to this but did you check the Herpes questions section. Good luck!!

Thank you, I find so much comfort hearing that. I am worried because I don't want to touch my boyfriend, ever again lol. I'm scared that if he doesn't already have it I'll be giving it to him. I find out Monday which one I actually have, I'm very anxious. Thanks again!

Thank you! This is my first and I have read it's the worst and I am thankful for that because I can't imagine it being any worse or doing this again. I'm on day 4 of the sore throat so hopefully I'll feel some relief soon. Do you have OBs often? My doctor is putting me on valtrez for a year I'm hoping that will keep it away for awhile.

I had an OB "downtown" starting last Wednesday. My sore throat started Sunday...I went to the doctors yesterday which is when i found out i have herpes. I am on Valtrex and I am feeling relief from my "downtown" OB but the sore throat is not getting better. Can anyone tell me what they experienced with this? Its affecting my work and I am keeping all of this a secret so not sure what else to do. please help!

The person you're meant to be with won't run away from that. Thanks for everything, you helped me more than you know. Good luck to you too!

Thank you! Funny you commented I just read your post. How are you doing? I know this is the worst part, mentally, I will learn to accept it it's just really fresh lol. I just can't wait to start feeling better. I appreciate your help, I will look into vitamin c. That's always good anyway. My first isn't horrible but I could be better.

Tears are streaming down my face, as they have been all day. Last Wednesday evening I had some burning while urinating, thinking a UTI I got into the doctors on Friday. After submitting my urine the doctor came in for 30 seconds, told me I had a bladder infection and gave me a script for 5 days. Not feeling any relief I went and got some azo, which numbs your bladder. Let me tell you, by Sunday the pain was so bad I didn't want to drink anything so I wouldn't have to go to the bathroom! I also woke up with a super sorry throat which I thought was weird since I've been on an antibiotic for 3 days. Igot back in to the same doctor Monday and she was thinking kidney stones (still no exam). Sends me for a CT which came back negative for stones and calls me in another script. Today I expected some sort of relief and nothing, I spent all night doing research, the sore throat was key, I immediately knew I must have herpes. I tried looking lol couldn't tell. I went to my obgyn today and he said I have 3 ulcers on the opening of my vagina. I lost it, I can't believe it. My boyfriend who I have been with for a year, gets cold sores, he has since he was born. He has only had one since we have started dating and when he gets it he immediately takes medication. Thankfully his reaction was super supportive and he is concerned that he gave it to me. He's going to get tested too. I'm not sure which virus I have and at this point it doesn't matter. I'm perscrived valtrex, 1g, 2x a day for 5 days then 500mg for a year. I'm just heartbroken. I've read alot of posts and I know I feel how alot of you felt. Most of all I just want this pain to go away. I haven't been diagnosed with tonsillitis but I have had it many times in the past and it feels like that's what I have but read it could be from the herpies. I guess I'm just looking for some motivation or suggestions on what I can do to improve this (diet, etc) I never want an out real again. Thanks in advance.
