Hello,
I am 22 and I was diagnosed yesterday. Aside from the fear and shock, I am having a very painful first OB! I just started valacyclovir yesterday, but aside from that I am not sure what else to do or take! It is beyond painful to go to the bathroom, or sit, but walking is honestly the worst! I already switched to cotton underwear, but is there anything else I can do to stop the sores from sticking to my underwear? I want them to dry out so that they'll heal as quickly as possible- so I am hesitant to use creams to stop the sticking.
I am not able to call in sick so to top it off I am dealing with this at work! I am trying to act business as usual, but I am on writhing pain :( Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
