[Possible herpes outbreak number 2 and I'm falling apart again]

My first one actually wasn't bad. It was only two bumps. Which made me think that it was razor burn.

This time it is actually worse.. it's down to my thighs this time. I have asked for some advice on what to do to keep it from being in so much pain. She advised me with an epsom salt bath. Which I actually tried and it made it feel better. It's weird I had pain in my right leg also, but I think that probably has to do with it messing with your nerves. I know that it is stressful.

Are you in the states ? Can you possibly get on a state wide insurance..?

Dancer that video made me tear up.

[Possible herpes outbreak number 2 and I'm falling apart again]

Honestly I don't think you are falling apart. I think you are blossoming.

[Possible herpes outbreak number 2 and I'm falling apart again]

I think it something that you have to overcome. It is hard and uncomfortable, but it is there. You have it. You are going to have outbreaks even though some people don't. I am on my second outbreak already. I am not feeling weak or sad, because it's there. It's apart of my life now.

I think you need to take a moment to think about the positive that you have in life. No matter what this is not what is going to make you. You are a beautiful person. We all are..

I think maybe you shouldn't think about it coming down when you are at your most happiest, but stay in that happy place. If I know anything from what I learned that stress can make it a lot worse. You are just stressing yourself out and putting yourself in a negative place.

(: Keep your head up.

[How to heal my herpes outbreak?]

I am allergic to lavender though. So I might try mixing those two up.

[How to heal my herpes outbreak?]

I got a thing of cold pressed coconut oil. All organic. I also got some tea tree oil. ( Which I already had because I love using it for my hair.)

[How to heal my herpes outbreak?]

My friend who has it said that cold pressed coconut oil helps her outbreaks.. I don't know if that is true, but I am willing to try anything.

[How to heal my herpes outbreak?]

I am on suppressive treatment.

I will definitely try the epsom salt bath. They are just burning.

[How to heal my herpes outbreak?]

So I am currently having a bad outbreak. It is almost down to my thighs right now.

 

I was wondering if there was anything I can do that will help it go away and something that could possibly help manage the pain.

[Feeling confused and sad.]

I completely understand. I am a worry wart myself. I worry about everything. Even though my boyfriend said he was okay with me having herpes, there was a huge battle in my head that he was lying to me. I was still sad.

I eventually got over it and now I am taking most things with a grain of salt.

H was the tool I needed to learn that not all things are in my control.

[YAY!!! A New Discussion Category! Send your H- Partners HERE!]

Should I possibly send my boyfriend on this site?

[Just found out I have herpes.]

I have been highlighting and printing out a lot of stuff. I have been asking my doctor every time he finds something to send it to me. (: Very helpful.

[What's the difference between the 2 herpes, HSV-1 and HSV-2?]

That is not true. I have HSV-2 and my boyfriend loves me just the same. If anything he said it kind of makes him want me more, because of the fact that I was able to disclose that with him. It builds more trust I do believe, and if they reject you then they aren't worth it. At least not to you anyways.

[Extreme Fear and Remorse - Could I have passed herpes to my kids?]

My mom has the virus also. So I grew up aware of Herpes and other STD's out there. My mom always raised me to be honest and open. She was honest and open with my dad.

They are happy. They had me. Ever since I became sexually active I have constantly been tested.. I have never came back positive for it ( until now).

 

Even though my mom was extra careful and told me there was no way she could pass it along to me, unless she was not careful and sloppy. I went to talk to my doctor. He told me that there is no way she could pass it on to me. That I might still have the antibodies in my blood because of me being in the womb with her, but that does not mean that I have it. He said there is a slight chance that I could be positive, but it is very rare..

 

I grew up knowing that it was alright.

I am going to go off the H subject, when I was 14 I caught Chlamydea and my mom told me she understood. That either way you feel dirty, defeated, unwanted. She taught me about what she knew. About with what she had. She was open enough to even tell me when she was having an outbreak.

Even though I found out I had it. I was very very hard on myself at first. She was just there to tell me " I know how you feel" and "It will get better in no time."

I also think growing up knowing that my mother was H+ helped me in the healing process also.

 

You just need to educate your kids about this and be careful. (:

[Need some help processing.]

Thank you for posting. (: I am new here also,

I didn't have an outbreak at all until I had the flu this year..

Oh man I was very very sick. It made me have the initial outbreak.

I didn't go get it checked until I was done being sick of course.

 

Yes we go through those moments of self doubt and anxiety. My anxiety was out the roof!

I think instead of really being upset about the fact that it came back positive, I was more relieved. I was relieved simply because of the fact that I now knew what was going on with my body.

I was so scared that my boyfriend was going to reject me, but as soon as I found out I told him.. Maybe I should have thought about how I was going to go about talking to him about this, but I didn't. I just blurted out "I HAVE HERPES, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME."

Now in the future I am probably not going to go about it that way, but he kind of chuckled at me. " I won't leave you baby."

 

It is a very very scary thing. Just like with anything you need to overcome this fear. (:

 

[Just found out I have herpes.]

That sounds awesome. Definitely something that I am interested in. I want to help ((:

[Just found out I have herpes.]

I will stay tuned, because you guys are awesome. (: Really.

[Just found out I have herpes.]

May I ask where this campaign may be? Because sadly I am broke and.. D: Yeah.

[Oral sex with herpes ... Can it happen?]

((: Yes.

[Just found out I have herpes.]

I really just want to educate. That is what I want to do sooo bad. I want to help do some kind of advertisement. I want to help out others in need. I might have only found out a few weeks ago, but I feel like I have already had some people come to me for advice.. && I have made a lot of people smile and keep their head up.

 

I have also informed people who don't have any STD's also. (: I just want to be a teacher.

[Today's lesson brought to you by the letter "H"]

Wow... I am reading this. I was thinking the same thing how I am glad I have this and not cancer.

[We are not alone in the stigma and misinformation...]

I have a few friends that are white with HIV.. && I know they have it. I never judged them or was scared of them, because it wasn't their fault.

It just shows how ignorant a lot of the people in the world really are..

[Just found out I have herpes.]

You know that is funny. I had to tell my ex boyfriend. Funny, he was my first love. I had to tell him that I have Herpes and that he has to go get tested. He said " How could you not tell that he had herpes, you can see that." No.... That is not always true.

[Oral sex with herpes ... Can it happen?]

Yeah well... Hopefully we can have the talk soon and I can convince him.. Maybe have A PROFESSIONAL convince him. I could really use it right now considering I am on my second day without a cig.

[Oral sex with herpes ... Can it happen?]

Thank you. I am glad to have him. You have no idea.

 

( Well you probably do, but it's just the greatest feeling in the world.)
