ExhaustedGirl - since being diagnosed and understanding my new symptoms, it’s constant and getting worse. I was just put on cymbalta to try and help the neuropathic pain caused by prodrome.
mr_hopp - that does answer my question. Thank you! My OB site is my vulva and these sensations are all the way down to my knee. Since I sit on this pain all day, as mentioned, cymbalta was prescribed. I do t have an active OB and it still hurts.
Jen44 - from my understanding, you can spread it anywhere that shares the nerve base. For example, I have had it on my face for a quarter century now and recently got a new OB spot on a different part of my face. Since they share the same base nerve that branches out, it can go anywhere that base nerve touches. Shedding occurs wherever your OBs occur, in my understanding - but I’m no MD - and the most at risk are the thinner skins which tend to be mucousal areas. However my first HSV1 site is above my eyebrow - nowhere moist at all.
