Yes this has been me form months. I took a blood test for hsv1 and hsv2 in January 2021. Found out I was positive for hsv1 . Told the doc they brushed it off as though it wasn’t a big deal because everyone has it, but failed to mention the difference in contracting it orally and generally regardless of strain.. Definitely having genital herpes is what makes it challenging and not so common because to me of the prodome symptoms . Nobody talks about that part. It’s like some big secret . If everyone has it , why don’t I know anyone personally who has it and feel these same thing. I honestly have shared all of my symptoms to my bf these last 6 months . Not even knowing all of what I’m experiencing is related to hsv1 because no one not eveN docs talks about ALL the symptoms or know more about it . It’s only people that’s experiencing it. I have taking antidepressants and now on pregabalin for constant nerve pain. I’m not sure why mine last so long but I had all of that a

So my doc wanted to test me for EBV (mono) . Came back positive but it’s a past infection . So not currently active . Even though it feels like it . Something else must be causing my symptoms that are making them so severe and persistent. My mom thinks I don’t have hsv1 genital . Because I never got that first outbreak after I had oral sex with this guy. We had been seeing each other from July- December. Energy just t seem fine. It wasn’t till the end of December, my body went into a shock. My legs have been suffering of pain since December and we are now in July. My mom also thinks i may have a tampon stuck in my vagina because of the constant pelvic pain, inner thigh pain, the odor . I had cat scan done on my pelvis twice , they would have seen something . My mom also mentioned that God wouldn’t do this to me, which made me break down really bad the other day. Just be positive And find out what else may be causing your symptoms. I’m currently taking pregabalin something like lyrica to treat nerve pain ex. (fibromyalgia) . It’s been helping alot. Still having broke the news to my bf. We are long distance have been for 3 years , but been together for 10 years , college sweetheart. He mentioned to me after breaking things off with the other guy, that he was willing to forgive me while also telling me well if you’re free from stds while specifically saying and “ you don’t have the H stds “ then we’re good. I had the blood work test and was going to tel him that night when he came up to see me. And couldn’t even fix my lips to mention it to him . It broke me and that was in January. Sometimes I wish I never even took the test . It’s been nothing but a mental health issue for me since then. No doctor had confirm my diagnosis or even wanted to test me for it because I wasn’t showing symptoms despite me having having mild symptoms. This is why people pass along this virus because half of them don’t even know they have it because it’s a million other things that it is before this one. I was told Bv two times ,And herpes is nothing they test you for. So if they are no symptoms they are not taking it serious. Why is finding out you have it a big identity, I can’t believe this is my life type of crisis. Life is a trip. Anyway going to see him this weekend and my nerves is through the roof . Planning on moving in with him and everything and then this happens. I’m just afraid he’s not going to want to be with me anymore. I’m so scared

Thank you for responding and being so supportive. Ever since all of this happened, I been feeling so alone because no one is believing me. I went from someone completely sane to someone whose looked at as losing her mind. Anyway, I really do have bad nerve damage in my legs. Im so scared of what It may be. Im trying to be so positive about life because I’ve always have been and still want to be. I love my life , I love God, I love my family and I love my boyfriend . I refuse to let this control me but my body just needs a break from 24/7 physic pain. Whatever is happening to me, it’s affecting everything in my body. I don’t wish this on anyone. I had a doc tell me I may have fibromyalgia. I looked up some of my symptoms, and I’ve gotten MS, Epstein Barr Virus (moNo), which could lead to lymphoma.

Hi, I’m 29 . Not officially diagnosed with herpes from the three gynecologist that I have seen but blood work done by a lab came out positive for hsv1. Since October 2020 I have been experiencing pelvic pain, Every time I had appointment which was more than 6 times in two months for a number of things (gastrointestinal, rheumatologist,gynecologist, ENT doctor, neurologist) but this being my main issue one they explain to me it was not herpes. I was told I had bv one time, then gardNella, and bv just May again. It wasn’t until December that I started to have occasionally itching and crazy nerve pain in my thighs and legs. Which I went back to the doctors ad explain to them , still no diagnosed . I showed the results of my lab results at outside clinic because any doc I have seen refuse to test me for herpes because no physical symptoms. The itching has been so annoying, because it’s not just one area it’s my whole pubic area and labia. Since applying manuka honey it has gotten a littler better. Now these nerve pains. . It’s like you don’t hear about the nerve pains that come along with herpes. And I keep trying to find things on nerve pain but little research. I ask a friend about it who was open to me about having hsv2 but he didn’t have them. I lay down I have it, I’m a t work I have it as I’m writing this I’m feeling this. I even have difficulty keeping my balance . My legs are the worse part about having this. I use to have weakness in my arms. My hips hurt a lot . I have to move them around in circular motion. I have headaches in the mornings and my legs feel numb sometimes. Oh i have constipation most times and my odor has change in every area of my body. I literally been sick since October and haven’t found another cause from the different pain. sorry long drenching post but those are my experiences. Docs just keep telling me everyone had hsv1 but if that was the case why do I have genital pain. So I kindly explained to them after do my research that I may have never had hsv1 which Is why I got it genital via oral sex. So not only do I have it orally I have it genital. I get the tingle around my lips but no outbreak and vagina no clusters/blisters but the one or two pimples Down there /itching. I have not disclosed this to my bf who I have been with 10 years . This is the person I want to spend forever with but prior to this we had a ruff couple of months with me feeling like he didn’t love me enough to marry me, like wasn’t good enough. I step out like a stupid person, mind you I have never been with anyone else besides him. He was my first . Then I met this new person give me oral and boom. When I say I have been depressed for months , knowing that I may have already given this to my boyfriend , knowing that he knew about this person , forgave me for cheating ,we’ve been back together but my body has not been the same . I’m tired of living a lie. What if all of what I’m feeling is related to hsv1. I don’t what to do? How do I explain this to him? He’s going to leave me for sure ? Right when our lives were going to change for the better on a new slate, this happens ? Im fully aware of my wrongdoing but God knows my heart has always been with him I just made the wrong choices .
