  1. Thank you so much for your response. I'm still figuring out how to navigate the forums so the link is so super helpful! I've read thru all of the my internet searches and it all told me to wrap it up so I have bandage over it just in case and avoiding contact with the spot. I'm close to 8 months into my diagnosis so still kind of new and scary. Thank you!!
  2. No 😞 still says you can't receive messages
  3. Hi! I tried to compose a new message to you but it says you can't receive messages 😞 maybe something in your settings? But anyway - I'm here!
  4. Hi everyone, A few months ago (a few months after I was diagnosed) I had an itchy bump on my thumb right at the crease. I thought it was a bug bite so I kind of just scratched it and ignore it. A few days later, it burst, tiny scab and then went away. Didn't think anything of it afterwords. Then yesterday, I realized the same bump is back on my thumb at the exact same space and it had the same kind itch and it's irritating. I did some googling and it said it could be related to HSV2 and coming into contact with the party downstairs and it's called herpetic whitlow. Has anyone experienced this?? What do I do? I wear contacts and now I'm scared of taking them out so I feel like I'm going to be wearing this pair for forever. Help! 😞
  5. Hi there, I totally understand how you're feeling - if you want to, feel free to message me! Happy to chat.
  6. So how did everything go? Did you guys finally get some results?
  7. Hi everyone, I recently found out from a painful OB that I have hsv2 and I can’t say that I’ve handled it well. I tried to bury myself in work during the days and at nights I numb it with a ton of booze. I know I can’t continue this or I’ll burn out but at the moment I can’t seem to snap out of it. I feel like I can’t tell the people I know and love not only from the shame of it all but I have so many questions that I know they won’t be able to answer. I’ve been lathering myself with soap and sanitizer daily with high hopes that I’ll feel less gross. I know it’s not good to think this way but my docs office didn’t provide me with much besides a positive diagnosis and I have so many things to ask. I guess my hopes here are for someone who is willing to talk it out with me because I’m scared and I feel like I’m in the corner.
