Thanks guys ... it was a reaction to new lip balm. Whew. I don't want to freak out over everything! I'm trying super hard to go with the flow. I did find out I've a nasty upper respiratory infection, so I'm actually relived that it wasn't H making me feel like crap. I'm totally grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you for the info and support. Hugs

Hey. I was diagnosed with hsv2 in July. Had my second outbreak last week. Then this morning I felt the tingling sensation on my lip. I have never had a cold sore in my life and just finished 10 days of ayclovir. .. I am terrified and kinda freaking out. Any ideas?

WCSDancer2010. You rock. Thank you as always ♡ I am home from doc's and started acyclovir for 10 days ... I am learning my triggers I guess. I only had a handful of cashews .. so I think it's more stress related. Maybe this is my body's way of saying slow down! And deal with emotions. .. either way, I'm learning. Again, I thank you. If I can help you, don't hesitate! * Hugs *

Thank you so much unbroken for sharing that. I think it frustrates me the most as I am kind of waiting for the next one. Wow. Once a year. That is awesome! Good for you! I am going to doc's in the morning and will ask about the Famvir. Thanks again. Have a great day!

Also.... hsv2 first diagnosed in July of this year ...

Hello all. I have been feeling kind of icky this week and after a hot bath felt an itch and am panicking that its another outbreak. I have had a fever and feel eexhausted (and I've done nothing to merit this level of exhaustion).I guess my question is two part. Is it okay for me to start acyclovir? And as I live longer with this, will I be able to understand and handle outbreaks easier? That sounds silly. But I'm not sure I have a handle on this yet ... any information is greatly appreciated. Hugs

WSCDancer2010 - that is so true! I'm still working on taking care of myself and learning more about living with H ... It's strange but I'm learning. I'm still floored by the reaction, but everything happens for a reason. It will either work out, or it won't. Either way, it will pass. I am glad I found this site and eternally grateful for your compassion. Light and love

I am so grateful for this site! Thank you so very much! hugs and love

Thank you for being sweet wonderful you!

Hello all! I have been reading a lot on line about H and life with it.I am wondering if anyone has information on diet and how it affects outbreaks ... I read lysine is a big help. And a lot about melon and nuts being very bad. Any information is appreciated! All my best.

Thanks for the positivity! I am doing well! I have noticed I seem to be in constant fear of everything leading to another outbreak! Seriously. I am working on it though. No. My husband said he would not get tested, as he knows he doesn't have it. Unsettling and heartbreaking but it's his choice. Throws up a lot of red flags to me. Anyway, I am focused on me at this time. Yes. It's selfish. But, I need to love me right now. Thank you for sharing the F.E.A.R with me. It resonates! I thank you both for the reply. If I can be of any help, please don't hesitate! And WCSDancer2010 (hugs)

Hello. I'm 39 years old, female and diagnosed with hsv2 last week. Trying to get a handle on my emotions. I would love anyone to talk (chat, text, or email) who is in a similar situation.

Hello all. I was diagnosed last week with HSV2. I was shocked, I seriously had no clue. I'm 39 years old, married and have been in a committed relationship for the last 10 years. My husband said some pretty negative things, and I just let him. I feel like I've been hit by a bus, Flu like symptoms and all that jazz. I don't feel like arguing over this. There's no blame, only dealing with it. Right? Anyway, I have been dealing with some heavy emotions since my diagnosis. I hope it fades with the symptoms... I just wanted to say hello, and thanks for this site; It's awesome to know I am not alone. All my best to everyone here.
