SCDOC

Thanks for the kind words. No sores yet. I started high dose acyclovir as soon as this all started. Symptoms *may* have subsided somewhat today (it’s hard to know how much my anxiety is playing a role in my perception of things). Haven’t seen a doc yet. If it doesn’t get better in the coming weeks, I’ll probably have to … to rule out something else as the cause. I’m a doctor myself, and acknowledge that often doctors aren’t the best dealing with atypical presentations like this… so I’m gonna give this a little time and see if it’s self-limiting.

Same symptoms here. First time a suspected prodrome has been this bad (with muscle aches and twitches).

I’ve been infected for 30+ years. My prodromes almost always involved leg pain (weird neuropathic pain), but I’m having a episode now where there’s this weird dull ache, and some uncomfortable sensations and twitches. I feel really fatigued too, which is common for an ob. Not sure exactly what is going on. This is definitely a prodromal variant, however I gotta say that prodromes have varied over the years. This is the first time I’ve felt deeper muscular symptoms (it’s usually very superficial, skin-level sensations).
