Does anyone have their spleen removed? What effect could having H have on someone that does not have a spleen ...

I agree with you Dave...

You're not alone. I feel the same. I don't know how to help but you're deffo not alone.

I'm thinking of disclosing for the first time. I've had the virus for over 2 years and never found the courage to. I'm thinking about disclosing to a guy I've met online we've had one date. He's really into me I can tell. I'm not so attracted to him but I'm thinking of disclosing to him as a practise... cos I guess if I decide I'm not that into him I won't be so disappointed if he backs out after the disclosure. Is this wrong?

No not at all. Starting to think I have HIV or some other disease... But last time I got checked I was clear... I'm having my long term birth control implant taken out so that could be playing with my hormones but no idea. I'm so close to the edge

Had it over 2 years

Thank you, I'm going to try. I wish I had a massive stock of the stuff that would release so much pressure. I just woke up from a nap to ANOTHER sore. Why isn't my body coping with it? What's wrong with me?

After over two months of back to back OB's I've finally Had enough. Going to the clinic every time for meds takes so much time out Of my life and makes the psychological impact of having H so hard. Oh how I wish we could just go to a drug store and buy the medication just like you can buy paracetamol or cold sore cream. Why oh why do we have to be subjected to making an appointment with a doctor every single time? To have to spread my legs so the nurse can put a 'X' on a diagram of a bagina to show where my OB is. Why? For what? I need suppressives. As far as I know that means I have to have a monthly repeat prescription that I will have to pay £9 for the tablets. Is there anyway way I can pay up front for a year's supply? They give birth control pills out in packs of 3 Months at a time... Why not this? Does anyone know what I should do to get what I need without having to sneak around and go to doctors appointments all the time and have to keep saying I have herpes over and over again? Help... I'm getting desperate and think I'm going to lose it if something doesn't get better for me soon.'

Did you always have them with your period or did it get less and less? @katidid X

My friends are sick of hearing about it. I'm sick of thinking about it. I'm sick of missing my ex who I think gave me H (can't be sure)z I'm sick of crying in bed alone over a year after we broke up because I descovered he had stolen all my money and was a gambling addict. I want so desperately to meet some who I trust enough to disclose to. But I can't, and I won't because I'm absolutely madly in love with my ex who has now blocked my number, still hasn't paid me back and is playing happy families with his new girlfriend. The pain I feel is devastating. And if it wasn't for H I know I'd have had a rebound to help me move on. I'm trying desperately to accept that I'm alone and contemplating living alone/ not having children/ my dream life never really becoming a reality. I know that this isn't completely a herpes related problem. But it sure feels lonely out here... With no one who wants to be close to me and no one I trust to be close to. The thought of always feeling like this is very frightening.

I just can't help but notice a weird correlation between OB and mouth ulcers. I guess one theory is that I'm run down and stressed so it effects everything but I'm beginning to wonder if I've got oral herpes? I've never had a cold sore on the outer part of my lip. So up till now have believed that I don't have HSV-1 orally. Just wondered about this... That's all. They bloody hurt my mouth!
