Oh wow that's deep, I love the fact how u feel that life no matter what happens is still enjoyable. I myself look at Herpes as a gift... It made me look at life different and how I choose 2 live it.

@thisisme, I've had HSV-2 coming on 2 years this November 7th, I went for a check up bec I was having some discomfort.. So when I went to the doctor she said im going to test u for herpes and I was like umm yeah ok... So she called me back and said u have herpes.. I couldn't believe it and it didn't hit me till the next day... I cried so much and what's crazy is that she didn't even give me anything so I made another apt on nov 8th and another doctor put me on some antibiotics for a couple weeks well with that medication I was puking and couldn't eat it was so strong that I made another apt with another doctor (my obgyn) and he said since ur taking it bad and are very emotional I'm going to put u on valtrex once a day... So I started taking it, As time went I started listening 2 my body and writing down n my phone when I felt a certain way.. I've notice that the inside of my leg/thigh I would get tingly paid and it would hurt...---> (prodome- The state or set of symptoms that precede a Herpes outbreak. The first sign of an upcoming occurrence, prodrome can occur from 30 minutes to a few days prior to an outbreak. Prodrome may include tingling, itching, and/or burning sensations at the site of impending outbreak, and/or shooting pains, numbness, aches, or other sensations in the lower back, buttocks, or thighs (in genital infections). So needs to say I always listen to my body.. When I feel these symptoms I take my valtrex for a couple days but on a regular I don't take medication but that's my choice. I promise u that things will get better n time, 2 me crying always made me feel better, if you need anything I'm here for u. @Mariah idk how close u are with ur parents, but the day I told my mother it felt like so much weight was lifted off of me. I told my mother on thanksgiving day in 2010... I wasn't eating much and she made a big meal... She had an idea that something was wrong so after dinner I had the talk with her and after I told her what happen she hugged me and said well I'm here for u and yes she did say u should hve been more carful just like all mothers would say. That was the best thing I could have done, when I was a child and I would get hurt I always needed my mommy and she would come and comfort me and take care of me so that's what she did, she was there for me and supported me and still does :). If u need anything I'm here for u.

I was so speechless on Monday Sept 24th... The guy that gave me herpes ... Well I finally got a confirmation today that he has herpes and gave it to me. His brother is a good friend and today I said I need to call his brother and tell him... Prior to me hooking up with this guy I asked him (the one i called, your brothers is trying to talk to me and he said Elle stay away from him but I didn't listen. I went on Elle's hardheaded choices and boom I was given a gift. I said please forgive me to this guy and he said Elle I love u 2 death and when I told u 2 say away from him I already knew it. The guy that gave it to me said he didn't have it and blah blah blah a bunch of lies... I feel a certain way... It's like finding out all over again but with no pain, no more learning how to take a shit and wishing I didn't have to go to the bathroom bec it burns.. I figured I would share with this.. i'm still in a kind of shock and still can't believe it, im verify sure that i will get over it soon.. i guess it just blows my mind, if i would have just listen to my friend i wouldnt have been in this situation...

i would love to have a buddy, i'm in NC... the gender doesn't matter, im a female... i have hsv2. i'm 30 years old

I found out I had herpes in 2010... The guy I was with didn't tell me.... I've decided I couldn't be like him... I had to break that chain and make sure whoever I'm involved with I must disclose that I have herpes... I can't do what was done to me... When I told the guy I was with he said, "Stop crying. The world isn't over. You're not going to die..." So about a month later, he came to my house... He didn't ask how I was or anything.. So we went ahead and had sex again and no we didn't use protection... I had to clarify to myself that it was him... He didn't ask if I was having an outbreak or anything... He was all about getting his and me well I was like hurry up so you can leave... My mother says that it's no one's business at all... But me, well I think different... If I could be in a herpes commercial I would or be on a billboard I would but I respect how my mother feels.... Maybe one day she will change...

Read this passage below and then go into the link… (BLISTERS) ... Do you think it means herpes blisters? Interesting, huh? Mercutio (to Romeo) in Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare: O'er ladies lips, who straight on kisses dream, Which oft the angry Mab with blisters plagues, Because their breaths with sweetmeats tainted are: Sometime she gallops o’er a courtier’s nose, And then dreams he of smelling out a suit; And sometime comes she with a tithe-pig’s tail Tickling a parson’s nose as a’ lies asleep.... http://nfs.sparknotes.com/romeojuliet/page_54.html
