  1. Thanks for your support and comments - All is well now I guess until next time (hopefully a while!) but I actually feel a lot more positive having got this out in the open. Am going to knock the gym on the head ( found it a chore) but funnily the outbreak happened after I had been 3 times in 4 days so maybe something to do with it. I started yoga classes again tonight and it felt great so will stick at that and a more 'mindful' way of living - better food, being aware of relaxing. In terms of the fella I think he is causing me more stress than I care to admit to so maybe time to let that go for a while at least. Time to be a bit selfish I think and look after me! I have to say the positivity on this site is brilliant - there are so many out there that could put the fear of god in people. Keep up the good work :)
  2. Hi all - just looking for a bit of support and advice I guess and having learnt that the internet is full of doom and gloom merchants found this positive site! I am 43, two boys aged 23 and 17. Most recent relationship for 4 years. Always had a problem with what I thought was thrush but now am suspecting was herpes. When I was 16/17 I fell in love with my first chap - 8 years older than me. He was on reflection a complete a**hole and caused a lot of hurt and anger which I carried for too long but I was young and naive. Didnt last long but ten years ago I saw him and nonchalent as you like he said 'did you get herpes cos I had it when I was with you'. I discounted it as I had never had any sores etc so life continued. 4 weeks ago wham - woke up with a nice sore which did the yellow thing then the crusting thing. I work next door to a large hospital so I took myself off to the GU clinic and was diagnosed wth HSV2. I felt rough, under the weather, sneezy and low as anything but was re-assured this was all normal. Took Acyclovir for 5 days and it cleared. However I was left and still am left with what feels like thrush. No visible sores but red and ouch! I am going to go back to see the lovely nurse who calmed me down when she told me my news but ladies is this the norm? The main head thing I am dealing with is so why now? I am having some trouble with my teen and the new job I have means a commute but ironically I had just started going to the gym, taking care of myself etc when this happened. Initially I was angry at this guy but that's just a waste of energy. yep he should have known better but that says more about him than me. My chap has been amazing but our relationship has been rocky too with very little intimacy for months and I was thinking of ending it. He has had no symptoms, neither has my ex husband (we are still on good terms). I guess I am babbling a little but my question is why after my immune system dealing with this for nearly 30 years has it just kicked in so badly. Maybe I am more stressed emotionally than I think? I know at the end of the day (and I keep telling myself) it's a cold sore on my bits and it doesnt change who I am as a person but it does change from thinking OK this relationship hasnt worked so a bit of QT on my own and off I go to find Mr Right to Oh. Well that's that then. Better stay put - at least he accepts me as I am which is lucky in that I have two healthy and happy sons and am at a stage in my life where I can now spend time on me. Think i just needed to get my thoughts out there but any thoughts and advice would be welcome.
