  1. @Lala9292 Hi! I believe it was about a week or two, if I remember correctly. I definitely remember the beginning, it was excruciating and that lasted for about 4-5 days maybe before I got antivirals. I remember the antivirals working almost immediately it felt like. I think within another 2-3 days it was much, much more manageable but maybe not completely healed. Of course, this will be different for everyone! I laid in my bed for a long time during the day without pants/underwear. It's very important for the area to get air and avoid friction to heal. ALso, definitely don't mess with anything down there! Just be kind to yourself/body and let it heal and please do check out antivirals if you haven't—they will help a ton!
  2. Thank you for your prompt/thoughtful reply and prayers! Could you tell me a bit about IV antivirals? That is something I haven't heard of before! Also, I hadn't considered something like thrush, in truth I hadn't really heard about that either. I am not having really any other symptoms indicative of a yeast infection (like discharge, pain urinating) but I do have irritation, a bit of itchiness, and of course the papercut like marks. I am also having some pain in my abdomen. I am unable to visit a doctor for at least the next 3-4 days, but hoping afterwards that I can. And to answer your question, yes, the cluster of sores went away within maybe 3 days, as is typical with my OBs, although this one lasted maybe a day longer than usual.
  3. Hi everyone! 22F here. I have just joined this forum after lurking on and off for the last year or so. A little about me, I was first diagnosed with gHSV-2 about two years ago. I contracted it from someone I was in a relationship with at the time. I tried not to linger much on it, but I believe he knew he had it and just didn't say anything. That in itself can cause a lot of trauma. My first outbreak was very very severe. For reference, there is a website where people share their outbreaks with other people for educational purposes. A young woman shared her outbreak and many people commented saying that it was the worst they'd ever seen. Well, my first outbreak was worse than hers. I had so many sores inside that my labia became essentially glued together and sores everywhere on the outside down to my anus as well. I quickly began taking valacyclovir and since then would occasionally have an OB every 3-4 months that would take the form of one or two bumps closer to my pubic mound, not really around my vagina at all. These were not clusters and were not ulcers, but felt more like ingrown hairs, the only difference being how they felt which was usually a bit painful and irritating. Anyway, towards the end of November my grandma passed away due to Covid and at her funeral I contracted Covid as well. The virus was actually pretty hard on me and lasted longer than it did my other family members. I believe I had an OB during this time but cannot remember. Since then I have been documenting my OBs and symptoms. In December I had another OB around Christmas. another one towards the end of January, and another one at the beginning of March, This is much more frequent than they were before and I have been very discouraged over it. Not only are they more frequent, but in new locations, and much more severe. What was just one or two bumps near my pubic mound is now a handful of bumps right near the entrance of my vagina which can be very painful. Aside from that, I am now also getting what looks like papercuts on my anus and also near the entrance of my vagina. At first I thought these were due to wiping too hard after using the bathroom, but I don't think so now. Also, I have had constant prodrome symtpoms for about 2 months now, and I mean constant. All day long my legs, feet, and buttocks tingle. At night I feel tingles sometimes around my vagina or anus. However, as of late I cannot see any sort of outbreak happening. I have been taking my antiviral and am not taking red marine algae and Lysine, and also taking things like Vitamin C to boost my immunity because I believe this could have all stemmed from Covid. I have no way to know for sure, but this is my best guess. I am trying to handle it as best as possible, but my partner is wanting to have sex soon and I am not sure what to do. My last OB was the beginning of March, but I still have this constant nerve pain. I am also discouraged because I wonder how long this will last. Will my outbreaks always be this frequent now, or is my body trying to tell me something else? The constant nerve pain isn't necessarily painful, but can be so irritating especially at night. I just feel a bit lost and am trying to keep my spirits/health up, but I don't know what else to do. Thanks in advance to those who read/reply to this. Hope you are all doing well, too, and I am happy to be here.
