NJRunnerMom

Hi Everyone. 40 year old single mom here from NJ. Just diagnosed with HSV-2 and not quite sure what to make of it. Fighting through my first OB as we speak but could use a friend just to talk this out with. Male/Female, doesn't matter to me, doesn't even have to be in NJ.

@mr_hopp Thank you for explaining that. I did try to run a few days ago and while the run felt good, my leg hurt really bad after so I haven't run since. This is really hard mentally, emotionally, and physically. The thoughts in my head are out of control but I've been reading through the posts here and watching many of your videos to try to come to terms with this. Right now I just want my body back to normal before I really dive into the emotional side of this. I just turned 40 which was hard enough and now this. 😔

Hi Everyone. I'm really glad I found this place. First post in here. I just tested positive for HSV2. What started as a small bump, turned into another and then I went to the OBGYN out of concern and was swabbed and they took blood. That was last Friday. Got a call from the Dr yesterday that the swab came back positive but he's still waiting for the blood test results. I'm devastated to say the least. Anyway, during this time I have had the flu like symptoms, my right leg muscles have been hurting (quad today, hamstring tomorrow, groin the next, etc), I have no desire to do anything and I have a loss of appetite. Before this happened I was running and working out 4 to 5 days a week, now I have no energy or desire to do so. Will these symptoms go away? My right leg issue is really concerning. I thought that it was from working out too hard but then it would be both legs and my left leg has been fine through this. Any thoughts? Will these symptoms go away as the virus does? I'm on day 8 of the antibiotic. Thank you.
