[Atypical Herpes Symptoms / Nerve Damage]

@J1010 yes, I did read your previous comments about your month to month issues. That's what has me worried with the 2nd covid booster shot.  I'll just have to stew on that awhile. 

It's crazy to think that medicines available in the US are not available in the UK or visa versa. It should be available to everyone,  everywhere! 

I read other comments from another feed that they eventually calm down. So glad that seems to be the same in your case now!

Time is our friend.  So we'll just hope that time heals all wounds. 🙂🙏

 

[Atypical Herpes Symptoms / Nerve Damage]

@J1010 the more I'm learning about hsv2 the more I realize how messed it is. The neurological complications are endless.  I'm also debating getting my 2nd covid booster shot too. All the covid shots I had were all before my newly acquired hsv2. And I've heard horror stories.  I'm wondering if they can switch you to another medicine.  Have you asked them about it? My numbness seems to be getting better but the constipation is not. I think I'll probably need to take a stool softner from now on. I just pray the recurrent OB are bearable so I don't have to take an antiviral. Thank you for updating us and keep it up. 

[What happens if you don't take antivirals?]

@beihaigirl2004 You said your OB lasted 5-6wks, did the constipation last that long or longer? Did you have any numbess in the anal/perineal area? I'm having severe constipation w/numbess 4 wks from OB along with constant firing, no antivirals yet. At this point, don't know how what future outbreaks will look like or how often.  How are you feeling now? An update would be appreciated. 

[When will this anal herpes blockage finally go away?]

@venicebeach95 since your post was in Sept 2021, I'm just checking in on how you're feeling? How's your constipation? Has it gotten any better? Also did you have any numbess in the anal/perineal area? I'm experiencing the same constipation w/numbess and only 1 month in from OB. I've read drinking Smooth Move tea helped so i am going to try that. Keep us updated please. Thanks

@tiredgirlmy goodness I'm so sorry.  Thank you for the update.  I've been into my 1st intial outbreak for a month now with no antivirals. Hsv2 positive IgG test.  I'm having severe constipation but I can still urinate. I literally have to take a laxative or manual removal to some extent. Sorry to be graphic here. There is numbess in anal/perineal area and the bottom of my feet. I have been using as TENS UNIT for nerve stimulation.  It hasn't helped on constipation but I do think the numbess is slightly improved,  just slightly though. I think this is what they call "Virus Related Neurogenic Bowel  Dysfunction." I've also read several testimonials of others say they think the virus shocks the body with the 1st OB and that over time like 2-3yrs the constipation/nerve damage has been about 95% better.  I pray this is true. I also read that drinking Smooth Move tea was really helpful for them.  Please keep me in your prayers as I will do the same for you!

@tiredgirl do you have an update? How are you feeling? How is the nerve pain now? 

[What happens if you don't take antivirals?]

Thank you all so much for all your input.

[What happens if you don't take antivirals?]

You're so kind.  Thank you. The sores have cleared, the leg aches about gone, headaches gone and still a little itchiness. I can urinate ok but constipation is bad. I've been trying to up my fiber but I believe the virus destroyed the nerves that controls the poop. Do nerves regenerate? Will that eventually get better or it is permanently damaged and I'll have pooping issues forever?

[What happens if you don't take antivirals?]

I just found out. I'm a little over 2 weeks into my 1st primary OB. I didn't take any meds and I'm not in a position to get access meds plus iI live in a small community and word gets around.  So I can't get on any meds. 

[What happens if you don't take antivirals?]

Been recently exposed to hsv2. Tested and confirmed through blood work. I've been married for 30+yrs. We don't have sex anymore nor do we plan to. Love eachother but more like roommates now. I don't plan on having any sex with anyone, ever. 

So what happens if I don't take the antivirals?
