Okay so... I just had my initial herpes outbreak, was never told whether it was HPV1 or HPV2. The outbreak was absolutely the worst encounter I've ever had, that's saying allot for me because I handle pain well and when sick I'm the type to get out and about. But this lead me to a 5 day hospital stay cathed and medicated. I had no idea what it was until I was diagnosed, I've only had one partner in 3 years which I'm married too. He usually gets the cold sores a few times a year. I've never even had a cold sore on my mouth even after being with him this whole time. So this was a very big hit to me. After the initial BO they put me on iv herpes antibiotics and then pills once discharged. However I couldn't get out of bed for almost a week, still healing. Odd? Trust me if you would have seen the mess that was my vagina at that time you would see why. I couldn't even walk. Then I started to get sick, puking, shakes, dizzy, lightheaded... Called the doc back, she says stop taking meds, they make some people sick that way. Sure enough, started feeling better. However a month later, I'm itchy all the time ( All The Time). Red all the time, like the whole thing, everywhere like it's irritated. So I'm not sure if it had ever completely healed (which also 2 weeks after thinking I was finally healing my period started, don't know if that reflared it or prolonged the healing but there was some soreness) or if I'm still going through it because I'm constantly stressed, I'm an inside head stresser/happy go lucky outside head person. But I'm in a constant state of stress because well life lol. Sorry for the book but I have no where to turn for support, that's helpful. And y'all seem to be super knowledgeable and understanding! Thanks in advance for reading. I've gotten lots of answers and info from y'alls posts..... I'm a got to know as much as possible so anything is helpful!! Thanks 😘
