Flowerteacher55--thank you so much for your kind words! They are so appreciated! I have reached out to my gyno, but I have to get a referral due to my insurance since it's been a while since I've seen him--COVID and all that. (I haven't had covid, but I'm referring to many offices closing and only offering virtual visits.) I plan on asking my PCP if he does PCR swabs, so I can get it done sooner than waiting on the referral and turning around to schedule with my gyno.
The sores I have now are raised with pus. There isn't a dimple, they're more like pimples. There are three of them that I can see, one kind of inside the labia and two on the outside. I did have a large sore back in 2020--but it didn't look anything like an HSV outbreak, so it might've been an ingrown hair. If I remember correctly, it didn't last long at all.
I'm afraid to take my Humira shot in fear of worsening the current symptoms I have. It could've been the Humira causing activation of HSV--but it's so confusing since my VZV was positive as well. My husband said I can get the PCR if I want, but either way it doesn't matter to him. I am so blessed to have him, I know that part of my life is wonderful. I've been reading the forums, and it's so heartbreaking to read how many people get rejected due to this virus. But, I can understand why someone wouldn't want to pursue anything with us. Especially those who are already immunocompromised.
If I'm able to get a PCR test and get the results, I will update for sure. I think I want to know for myself to be 100% sure.
Again, thank you so much for your comment.
