  1. I thought I had the virus on 06/22 and called doc. They ignored me. Call back on 07/02 and say I think I have herpes. Get in and get a 7 day treatment of valacyclovir twice a day. Finish that on a Monday morning and call back following Friday since I don’t see any improvement and the flat blisters are spreading. They put me on 2x a day for 10 days, 1x a day for 14 days, then call for suppressive prescription. I’m on Day 7 of the 2x a day. I notice it in my throat and possibly the corners of my eyes. I’ve been VERY careful with hand washing and sanitizing. Constantly. The bumps are getting worse. Here’s my question, do I need to chill out and let the medication get a chance or call doc? I don’t have any pain other than a mild sore throat and itchy eyes. Help!
  2. LJ1209 I did. I feel like it's pretty awful right so definitely a first OB. My emotions are definitely all over the place. I think when it starts healing more I feel better. I hope you're feeling better today.
  3. I'm so with you on this. My doc confirmed on Monday what my fears were. I'm so sorry that this is happening to you, and all of us really. Sending positive thoughts and healing your way!
  4. Thanks for your kindness. Every time I get sad today I tell myself "It's no worse than shingles. You are still a good person". I guess I'm so confused on how best to protect my son from this. I know that if you dry yourself after the shower that you can transmit it to the eyes. I've also asked a friend to help me find a therapist. My Type A personality is just having trouble coping I guess. I saw a trigger can be stress. What do you do to help keep calm?
  5. After having to fight to get into the doc I was diagnosed with herpes. I have herpes. It was the straw that broke this camel's back. I've been fighting through devastating life events since 2015 (miscarriages, family death, poverty) and now this. I seriously considered suicide multiple times since this discovery. I'm so very, very tired of fighting and being strong. I won't do it because I have a beautiful son. I'm scared to touch him, hug him, even prepare him food. My faithful husband and I have been together for 11 years. The doctor said that one of us probably touched something contaminated and that's how it was contracted. We've had a wonderful sex life and now it's come full stop until we heal. Y'all, I am drowning. I can barely keep it together anymore. The hubs is a great support, but he has compartmentalized, accepted it, and moved on. I can't figure out this injustice. I feel that God is punishing me for something and I don't know what. Please, any encouraging words and kindness is so desperately needed.
