So I had my initial outbreak back in February and it was the worst thing I've ever experienced in my life. I went to the er and they prescribed Valtrex. Fast forward to the second outbreak that I am currently struggling with. it seems as one sore starts to heal anything forms. has anyone else experienced this? Also I am having some serious tingling down there for the first time tonight. is this normal or should I be worried? it's literally been so bad to the point where I've contemplated suicide. As far as medicine I'm currently on: Lysine, Zinc Vitamins, Vitamin C, and anti-depressants. For methods I've used to get some relief I've tried: warm showers since I live in a dorm with community showers, water to help alleviate pain during urination, campho-phenique, and tonight baby powder. I don't know what to do and I'm having a mental break down. it's been a week and this outbreak was triggered by getting sick with mono.
