  1. I'm not sure if it was related to my initial outbreak or if it caused my outbreak, but when I found out I had it it was after a 3 day stay at the hospital due to a constant fever of 104 (it would go down to maybe 100 with meds but would always go back up and that lasted for about a week), body aches, awful abdominal and lower back pain, pain shooting down my legs, and ridiculous discharge. They ruled it a pelvic infection (but tested for STI's that typically cause pelvic infections and was negative for all of them so they were totally clueless on why I was so sick) and pumped me full of 3 different antibiotics the 3 days that I was there, I still was in pain and still had a low grade fever when I got discharged and two days later I had to follow up with my gyno and she did an exam and that's when she said I had ulcers all over my cervix. Did the swab test that came back positive, started my valtrex, and didn't feel normal for weeks. I honestly still don't, and I've been on suppressive therapy ever since and that was about 4 months ago, but I also don't even know when my OB went away since the only ulcerations I had were on my cervix. I felt like I was honestly on my death bed.
  2. Yeah, it is hell. I was taking it for 12 days to be exact, then after those 12 days I went to the OB and she checked me again and said it had improved but still had a sore or two that was still trying to heal and she suggested suppressive therapy because the OB was one of the worst she had ever seen (the worst considering the OB was only on my cervix and nowhere else) according to her. The pain didn't completely go away until about 3 weeks after the start of it. So just give it some time, it WILL get better. I'm sorry, I wish I had more advice!
  3. @Dreamer07 Sadly I just had to suffer through it until it quit! I am on 500mg of valtrex a day, but while I was having my first breakout it was more but I don't remember exactly what the mg was. I know I took 2 a day though, for 2 weeks. It kept me awake too for sure! The back pain and pelvic pain together was awful, and the leg pain made it to where I couldn't stop moving my legs long enough to even try to sleep. It went away eventually, maybe lasting 3ish weeks. I haven't had those problems since that first time, but I have also been on valtrex since because it was such a significant outbreak.
  4. My nerve pain was different than some people report! I've only had one known outbreak and it was on my cervix so I had no clue until I went to the GYN and had an exam done. My lower back hurt really bad along with shooting pains down both legs. Along with that, from my butt down to the bottoms of both feet my skin was SO sensitive to the touch, like wearing pants and having them rub my legs was painful and I had to wear shoes or socks even in my house because carpet was painful to walk on. It was intense!
  5. With GHSV2, what are the transmission rates with suppression therapy? I'm curious about both protected and unprotected sex transmission rates.
  6. So, I'm talking to this guy online and we clicked pretty well. I just found out that I had HSV2 about 3 months ago. Well, I decided to disclose to him. And oddly enough, he said he was still interested.. I'm just blown away. Before I knew I had it, I know that would've been a deal breaker for me... Shallow, yes, but with the stigma around it, its hard not to think like that. I was so nervous to disclose, I was literally shaking waiting for a reply. And he asked a couple questions and said he's still interested and that it's okay. I'm still a nervous wreck but I just feel so good.
  7. I'm a 22 year old female that lives in Ohio! I'd like buddies of either gender that maybe live near me. I have HSV2, don't know how long I've had it but I just found out about 3 months ago.
  8. Thank you all for your comments and support. I appreciate it so much. I just don't know how to deal with it I guess. I'm trying.
  9. I just found out about 2 months ago that I have HSV2. I told my partner, who seemed very supportive of everything saying "we will get through this." I spent so many night just sobbing and telling him he didn't deserve to be with someone that had herpes, and cried even harder when thinking about possibly giving it to him. My OB was on my cervix, and the only reason i found out was because I was having really awful pelvic pain and went to the OBGYN to get an exam. So I have no idea how long I've had it, and my partner had 100% been exposed. Recently we have broken up and he's being a monster about everything. He's threatening to tell everyone I gave him herpes. And regardless of whether or not people should look down on people with herpes, THEY DO. No one will look at me the same. I am absolutely crushed, and accepting of the fact that I'm going to be alone the rest of my life.
