I'm recently diagnosed. Exposed by bf who didn't know. I came back positive culture for HSV2, neg for blood tests. Dr said I basically have no antibodies. She was kind, said this could be my one and only outbreak (probably to get me to stop crying all over her office), but I'm guessing now that was just her way of easing me into this new normal. I got through the sores, pain, fever, extreme exhaustion, peed in the bath/shower, cried myself to sleep, suffered through the unbearable buttock/back of upper thigh pain, fought with my bf to the point I almost ruined us....all in the last 15 days. I finished meds, healed, butt/leg pain weaned, BF and I found our way, had sex and bam....life sucks again. So here I am, back on the 10day program. I'm not open sores, but definitely rawness. And the butt/leg pain has come back with such a force that it's taking all my energy just to get through the workday. At 11am I can't wait to get back to bed and sleep again. I was an active healthy nonstop work 2 jobs cycle 100+ miles a week 49 year old woman who now can barely move.
My questions:
should we have waited to have sex? bf was on meds and healed too, so we thought we were good. but next am after sex he broke out with a lip sore (I'm guessing the hsv2 presenting orally) and soon after I started to feel crappy
anyone else have to do 10 days twice? is this a sign I'll need suppressive therapy?
thanks to all!
