I think you may be right about the phantom tingles, lol. None at all today. I think I am probably still kust freaking out a little bit :)

I sure hope so! Thanks :-)

I've been taking Valtex for almost a week now and my sores have finally cleared up for the most part, yay! I've noticed some tingling sensations which I've read could be a sign of a break out. Could I be getting another one already or is it most likely still from this outbreak? I have 6 more doses of the Valtex

Thank you WCSdancer! I'm going to make a trip to whole foods or natural grocers this weekend for it along with some vitamins. I take multi-vitamins daily but want to start taking lysine daily as well. I am so glad I found this community. Only a few days since I was diagnosed and I am feeling so much better emotionally. My BF is extremely understanding as are my 2 best friends who I have told. My BF is feeling extremely guilty, since he passed it to me from his cold sores.

Hi, I'm a 31 yr old female in Austin. I was just diagnosed with HSV-1 this week. I am having a difficult time so far with the diagnosis. I am looking for a buddy who can give support and advice. I do not have a preference for male or female.

I have extremely sensitive skin so I will do thay for sure!

I was looking at the jergens one at Walgreens but wasn't sure. Thanks a million!

I am definitely going to try the cool blow dryer! Thank you so much. Once this outbreak goes away I'm sure I'll stol beating myself up. I am in so much constant pain it's all I can think about. I went looking at Walgreens for some aloe cream, but there are so many with different things in them. I didn't see any aloe only cream.

Thank you everyone for your kind words and advice. I took an epsom salt bath this morning and ot felt so nice! I'm going to stop at the store and get some aloe cream as well. I did see my GP doc at first but have an appt to see my OB tomorrow. So far my outbreak doesn't seem to be getting better, but I know it takes more than 2 days of being on the medicine. I have HSV-1

I just found out yesterday that I have herpes. My doctor prescribed me Valtex 1GM twice a day for 10 days. She also prescribed vicodine for the pain. I have never experienced pain like this before, especially when I am going to the restroom. I try to direct the stream away from the blisters, but I have so many it's very difficult. My doctor told me not to put anything on the blisters, so I stopped putting coconut oil on them. Is there any other way to help the blisters heal faster? I am in so much pain and the vicodine only makes me sleep. Also wheb does the tingling go away? I am still in shock about being diagnosed with herpes. I have been with the same guy for the past 2 years. Of course I immediately thought he had cheated but my doc explained that it can be transmitted from an oral cold sore to genital. I am so frustrated, scared, and feel dirty.
