I have eczema as well but it's mild and I have been searching for autoimmune diseases bc I can't control this bloody virus after two years and antivirals. I asked about LDN to rhumatologist and she didn't want to give it to me. She suggested I see an immunologist. I hope I can convince them for a trial run to see if it helps. Let me know ladies of r works for you. I have oral and ghsv1.

You are going to be ok. Likely it happens in immune compromised people. If it hasn't happened to you yet, it won't. If you are paranoid have doctors check your liver levels. But honestly you are fine Hugs and love Xo

So proud of you for disclosing and getting to a good place! Yes I hear you...once you open yourself up its scary and honestly your reaction is perfectly normal and very human. I want to send you love now as you are feeling vulnerable and feel that love and support til you hear from him again. You are a very strong and brave woman. Hugs Xo

That's awesome you are having so many successful disclosures. I am just entering the world of on line dating and it's scary. I can't imagine disclosing. And I am also worried I can get sthng else like hepatitis or hiv or hsv2. I have hsv1 and it ruined my body. I am petrified to get anything else. Anyway glad you are having successes. I hope I do too. I am just hoping for one success as I am looking for a long term partner.

I am going through the same thing. I have oral and genital hsv1. I can totally empathize with you. I have had a myriad of symptoms and it drives me crazy knowing most people are asymptomatically or have one or two outbreaks a year. Hope you will get better with time.

It is possible to get it by grinding. You would need a bit of exposure though. Not like seconds probably minutes before you could potentially get it. Perhaps that's thr culprit but let nurse Terri warren know...it's ur best bet. I am sorry you are going through this. Hang in.

My advice is to become a patient of nurse Terri warren from westover heights clinic. She does phone consultations and also if you go on the website you can ask anonymous questions via posting on a board similar to this one and she replies. Some blood tests are more reliable than others. So be mindful of that. Good luck

No way to post pictures. But I bet you will get some people who say it is and some who say it isn't. Just the way your doctors did. I seriously wouldn't worry now. If it comes up again insist on swabbing. Spreading would be highly unusual since you have had it this long. I know it seems scary but you have it on ur finger which is no big deal....better than on ur genitals. And unless you had a cut on your penis while masturbating you wouldn't spread it. I know its hard but try not to worry. Good luck

Well it could be anything really. You already have the antibodies so I doubt you spread it if you had it 10 years. You either got it at the same time on your finger as your other area and it just showed up now. Or it's sthng different. You won't know for sure unless you swab it. You have to insist. Keep an eye out if it comes back. If it's anything like your other location you got it at...you likely won't get it back...you seem to be handling the virus fine. I wouldn't worry.

I had problems with my bladder and urinating too. It lasted a while. It's just the nerves. It will be ok. You will get through this. Hugs.

I always found it helpful for my nerve pain. It helped take some of the neuralgia away.

We know that. Hugs sweetie. I had to go to therapy bc the constant stmptoms just got me depressed. Trust me. I feel for you and I wish I could do sthng to help.

@sassytiger62 Since dancer is off line dealing witht her dad, I felt I had to step in here. I don't think @hippyherpy was stepping out of line. He's just trying to give you some hope. This too shall pass. He was not judging or attacking. Yes...constant symptoms make it feel horrible. Trust me I am there. You are emotionally exhausted. I totally get it. Please be kind. We are all here for you with different levels of advice and support. Take care

Agreed. But add constant ob and prodome on top of that and it makes it that much harder.

I swear you need to take it for a while. It balances your bacteria. It may make your stool soft but it's better than the alternative.

Take acidophilus

I had problems with recurring yeast before h. What worked for me was taking acidophilus everyday. You can get it at health food store. Also cut down on your sugar. Could be yeast. Could be ob. Could be both. Either way take ur meds in case and try the acidophilus. Good luck

I am very happy for you @nothinggoodgetsaway but I just can't imagine there are too many guys out there like that I have constant symptoms and I don't have typical lesions but little red bumps on butt and back and legs (usually just one or two). They barely look like anything at all. Today I may have had my first lesion....I dunno...having a damn vagina with this virus is very hard. I can't see anything and I am 43 starting to need glasses for close up and far away and then u gotta tilt the mirror and I must tell u I have penis envy just about now. I have yet to get a positive swab bt symptoms from hell. Anyway what guy wants that. Set up a profile on positive singles and slim to zero pickings. Give up on that. Even though I would prefer a ghsv1 positive male. Too hard to find. At least my anxiety would be less if my partner was the same as me. Anyway I fighting and trying really hard to have some hope that I will find someone but I really am havig my doubts. I just feel like why did I have to get this so bad. It's been two years for me. Anyway bad day today. Maybe I should go off the site for a while and regroup.

Oh and how and when did u disclose?

Thank you @nothinggoodgetsaway This is my first experience dating though. I am lesrningn that plus all this ridiculous I know I would be a great partner for anyone. I love very deeply. I am fairly attractive, smart blah blah. I am just scared.

You are very lucky( it doesn't work for everybody)

Sorry it didn't work out the way you wish. Good luck.

I am having the same nerves. I have only disclosed to fwb and so its so much different than disclosing to someone that tou are trying to build sthng with. Just went on plenty of fish and set up a profile. And now I am petrified.

Thank you @bird for responding. I am so glad you had a great experience. My fwb was awesome and never hesitated and was really just awesome With me. But a fwb is limited and I want a relationship. I just feel like no one will want a real relationship with someone like me. That has reacted so badly with this. My fwb never got tested to see if he had hsv1...he just assumed he was an asymptomatic carrier of oral hsv1 bc his last long term partner had oral cold sores. I wish I knew if he was negative or positive bc if he was negative I would feel confident I am not as contagious as I think bc we had frequent oral sex and not as frequent intercourse. Ugh. Anyway just did a profile for on line dating and every time I look at men on the site I think oh yeah this guy sounds good...oh he'll never want me bc of oral and ghsv1 plus constant shmptoms. I am not going to bother. I am fine with the stigma and if I had a few ob a year I would be ok. But this is crazy. Do I settle for what I can get with fwb? I just don't want that anymore no matter how sweet he is our relations ship is limited.

What does lichen look like. I have so many skin issues right now and I still struggle with knowing what an ob is
