I've had pain in the back of my left thigh for the last month. sometimes I feel it into my toes. it's a burning dull pain. I've read and been told that a prodrome won't last as long as mine has (in my case a month). it seems to subside when I stand. sometimes it'll be hurting when laying down and other times it will subside when laying down. I've been scared that it's a prodrome, but that means I've had prodrome for the last month and I don't think or know if that's possible. I've had a prodrome before that was the burning pain in the back of the thigh, but it went away in a day or two after the ob came through.

Congratulations! this is awesome :)

Thank you for bringing this to the top. :)

Me too! This is gonna be epic!

"Him: "Probably not its not a big deal right?"" But it's a deal breaker for him. Makes a f*#k lot of sense.

I'm ready for the change! Can't wait :)

@Chrissyny I'm from Canada, but I don't know of any online pharmacies. Not sure about Rexall or Shoppers. You might want to check their websites. :)

I had to disclose to an ex-boyfriend that I was diagnosed with h. it was very difficult but he took it well. We have known each other for ten years, and I thought that after I told him, I would never hear from him again. Well, a couple days later, I heard from him. He text me to go golfing. I agreed to go. It took a lot to drag myself out of the house. I just wasn't in the frame of mind to be out socializing. It ended up that that evening of golfing was the least I've thought about h since being diagnosed a month ago! First off, when I met him there, he hugged me hello. He didn't once bring up h. He treated me just as before. he gave me tips on my golf swing just like before. When walking down the fairway to our balls, he put his arm around my shoulders. At the end, he kissed my cheek and hugged me goodbye. It was a nice evening and made me feel the most relaxed I'd been in weeks. :) My hope is that for whoever reads this, it instills some hope in you. Let's all keep strong. :)

This is awesome! I just posted an inspirational story too :) Congrats and so happy for you that you took the chance! I hope nothing but the best for you!

I told a male friend recently about having h. (I'm female). His reaction was so relaxed, it was amazing! He said something along the lines of, It's an STD. It's no big deal. It's common. Then he proceeded to tell me that a girl he dated in the past had disclosed to him that she had h. So I probed him for information as to how he handled that and what she said to him. She said, If things are going to go any further with us, you need to know I have h. He said, Okay no problem. (Something like that). They didn't stay together for other reasons, but he said it was no big deal to him that she had h. I was so happy to hear this! We just have to believe...

I will be donating :) Thanks Adrial for all your work and financial commitment!

Thank you so much for being here @Jorcor :) It helps soooo much...you have no idea...to hear veterans' stories and give us hope!

Thanks for the report, @Adrial :) It made so much sense. I'm struggling immensely with the stigma. I will be listening to this over and over!

I'm starting this discussion so that we can type comments in here that are a positive reinforcement when we are having one of those days. I'll start by saying it's not going to kill you. :) @Adrial Is it possible to have this discussion stay at the top of the discussion feed like the H Buddies thread so that everyone can find it easily when needed?

first, I am very sorry to read that you're hurting. rejection doesn't feel good in any circumstance. my advice is to think of it as it wasn't meant to be with this guy. It's easier said than done, but we have to think that everything happens for a reason, and this guy wasn't part of the plan for you. :)

Thank you! Needed this right now!

Welcome! It's nice to see another veteran on here! it gives the newbs hope! I don't have advice on the meds, but just wanted to say it's helpful for me when I hear about others who have h and are in loving relationships! Please stick around and offer your comments to the forum!

Thanks for sharing your vulnerable side to us! I am truly sorry that you're feeling down. You are a strong, amazing woman and this will pass. We are here for you just like you are here every day for all of us! You are my beacon of light that I come to every day to read your words of wisdom and support. Keep shining :)

@SweetAsSugar It's great to hear you be so accepting of your bf and that you're taking the time to research and not judge him. he is the same person after all!

Great post @Yadira :)

@ihaveittoo Thanks so much for being in this forum...you give me hope and I'm sure you do for many others. Hearing that you're happy with a wife and kids and living a normal life is what we all need to hear! Thanks again :)

Anyone from Canada, specifically Alberta, male or female?

@dancer Happy to hear you're seeing a new guy! Keep us posted!

Thank you for sharing! I come to this site every day in hopes to read stories like these to keep myself in a good state of mind during the healing process. it's these stories that lift me up. One day I will be sharing my success story with you all :)
