So a little about me first: I’ve had (assuming HSV2 for 2 years now, as I’ve never been able to get a test), the first year I had no outbreaks, no problems, nothing. Roll on a year and I’ve develop full body tingling, and random outbreaks all over my body. ALL OVER. My “outbreaks” are atypical, mine look like pimples, they appear in one singular spot, and they appear everywhere but my genitals (lol can you believe it). I get them on my arms, legs, neck, back, face, etc, and the tingling and nerve buzzing hasn’t stopped for 8 months now, even when symptoms aren’t present.
anyways, I know hsv can cause neurological problems, and it feels like I’ve become the unlucky one in this scenario as I have every neurological symptom going. I experience tinnitus, visual problems, balance issues, full body tingling, burning, migraines, etc… 24/7. This came on ever since the spots appeared on my body and it hasn’t stopped since, so I’m quite tired and fed up. I’m a healthy individual, I take my vitamins, I eat clean, I rest well and I’m very holistic and try not to stress, so I don’t understand why I’ve been affected so badly from this.
Basically, I’m asking for help. I live in the UK and they do not test for hsv here without symptoms, which I don’t really have, I’ve requested blood tests but they just won’t give them to me. I want to go on anti vitals but without proof of hsv, I can’t go on them, also I don’t know how to navigate getting help for this? I’ve been in and out of hospitals for months, trying to see neurologists, but no one will listen to me when I say I think this is all from hsv.
Sexual health professionals tell me you can’t spread herpes after the initial outbreak/without symptoms… also a lie. I started off with one spot on my buttock and now I’m infected head to toe in random places, it makes no sense to me.
i just need some help and some guidance, because even my partner doesn’t believe it’s hsv (he is the one who gave it to me, he’s my only partner) as he doesn’t even show symptoms either! I know! My life!
Any help, support, guidance, or anyone who’s going through something similar is appreciated.
Thank you & take care x
