Thank you all for being so welcoming and supportive. This is a super stressful day. I picked up my Valtrex script and I will take it tonight. (Good lord those pills are huge) I also picked up Lysine as I read that can help suppress the virus. I also read that your first out break is typically the worst, so if all I get is one sore, and some soreness in my butt/leg I will take it. And whitedaisies, I don't actually have sores in my mouth, the only thing that I have are a few blisters in my actual throat, where my right tonsil used to be (I had them out as a teenager). They look like the same color as my throat, just raised up. No sores in my mouth anywhere. I read something about bee propolis as well, has anyone tried that?

I was convinced I had an apthous ulcer on my labia, I noticed a slight pain that felt like a cut from shaving (while I was shaving actually) so after my shower I checked it out with a mirror. It looked like one small canker sore on my labia. White in the center, smooth and flat with a red ring on the outside. I went to my OB so they could verify this information and maybe give me something to put on it. She swabbed it for HSV and it came back positive today for HSV2. This is where things get confusing. I've been in a monogamous relationship for 12 years, I've never had as much as an ingrown hair in my vagina. My boyfriend has never had anything on him, and he's absolutely not cheating, and neither am I. I am astounded that I have this, and I haven't even told him yet. (He's at work and I just found out about an hour ago). So here are my symptoms: I've been not feeling well for about a month. (Fatigue, upper respiratory symptoms) My PCP said allergies or a virus. I did notice some blisters in my throat on the right side where my tonsils used to be. I lost my voice and was hoarse for a couple weeks. That has since resolved but the blisters are still there. They do not hurt. I do not have any cold sores, canker sores or anything else in my mouth. About 2-3 days after finding the sore (and I only have 1) I came down with a slight fever (100.6) and was extremely tired. The next day I felt better I've been feeling better since, with the exception of having soreness in my tailbone. It feels like swollen or injured, but I have not done anything that would cause injury to that area. The pain also shoots down my left leg. My OB didn't think it was hsv from a visual diagnosis because there was only one sore, and it didn't fit the standard outbreak. However, the swab test came back positive for hsv2. She called me in a script for valtrex to take for the next 10 days, twice a day. I had to wait for the results over the weekend, and the sore is almost completely gone. Should I still take it? So I guess what I'm asking is has anyone else had similar symptoms? I don't know what to think/do at this point. I am so confused this came out of nowhere!
