I just got diagnosed and I am going on 4 weeks of meds. It has gotten better but I still have blisters, pain, and itching. My husband and I have been together for 16 years. He on occasion will get cold sores. I on the other hand have never had any. We are always very careful when he has one, however they believe that I got it from him even though he did not have a sore. This diagnosis is very new. I am having a hard time physically and emotionally. I have cried pretty much everyday. My husband is very supportive. He has apologized many times. However I was molested as a child. So for me, I already feel dirty. I have never trusted anyone besides him to perform oral sex. I have always been self conscious because of the molestation. That being said I trusted him and felt safe and this happened. He doesn't understand that things will change sexually between us forever. The emotional part of this is really bothering me. I am having a hard time dealing with it. It doesn't help that I am on a third set of meds. I also have other health issues that are probably contributing to not getting better. Please tell me this gets better over time. I feel betrayed in a way. The one person I trusted gave me something that I will never get over. I ce to this forum to get a better idea of what to do. What will help. And how to overcome this both emotionally and physically.
