Well h can lie dormant for so long that it may not have been the bf who gave it to you. If it was a cold sore on him chances are he has it but he should get tested.. if he does have it then you have no need to be taking suppresives. I haven't been diagnosed long but I have doNE more research than I ever should have. Get on a good diet I am taking a multi vitamin with immune boost & I take 1000 MG of lysine a day. Not religiously cuz my memory sucks but most people on here will tell you this helps keep the ob down not saying u will never have one again but it will help. You need to tell him everything you know keeping secrets won't do any good for your relationship.

Also I hear this radio station & they say we will be back just like herpes... wtf? Everytime I hear it I cringe. How can people joke about things that people are actually dealing with. Pisses me off to hear them make a joke of something that is in now way funny. End of rant

So it's been roughly a few weeks since the diagnosis. Some days are great it may rarely cross my mind or drive me insane. Unfortunately though I am just waiting for the next ob. It consumes my thoughts. I use the bathroom & I always check. I have a bad and I instantly worry that I'll give myself an ob. Just paranoid now. I haven't really told anyone. They won't understand & I don't want to be judged. So I don't talk about it. This is the only place I have to vent really. So thanks for hearing for hearing my worries.

Lol only a couple weeks? Ouch
-
Thanks for posting this. Would explain this horrible headache I've had for days.
-
Willow, thank you for the info. I heard hsv1 was easier but like you said ever body is different.
-
Thank you for the clarification. I'm going to call around tomorrow to find a place that will test... I'm so over going to a doc and all they do is look
-
I'm confused. I think. I'm assuming mine is hsv2 just because of location. Which is the lesser of two evils?
-
@dancer thank you I did see that. There was some good quotes on there. I love how supportive this site is. Has truly helped me
-
I hope this helps someone. I know this is the one I needed for the day. If you have a good one please feel free to share. I love a good quote.

Ok thank you so much... yea I thought I deserved to know too I keep asking for the test but nobody will give it to me. 3 doctors and nobody will do it. Im self pay so why do they care its my money... I hope it's hsv1 I have heard that it's not as rough as hsv2 if I had to choose which form of herpes I wanted I suppose lol.. starting to find the humor again. 25 years old and never knew they don't test for herpes. Amazing. Ugh oh well can't go back. Bright side me & the old man call ourselves herpe buddies. So it's getting easier to accept
-
I am going to call and see if they will test for it. I keep paying for doctor visits that won't test for the thing I want them too.. I don't understand why they won't. @dancer I know thar you have been dealing witH this for awhile. Do you happen to know if the tingling I described before is normal?
-
@seeker I seen on a older post you are in the tamTampa area. Is this correct?
-
She gave me some pills in case another ob happens after this first one. She said to take that 3x a day for 5 days if ob comes on.. if I need more to call her and she will call them in and shold be less than $20. She was very nice & helpful. Just can't understand why Noone will test to see if it's 1 or 2. Ugh
-
Ok sorry I couldn't reply for a while it wouldn't let me log in.. I went to a doc today & they did full std testing but no blood or culture was done again. So I have no clue which form I have. That being said. Pretty sure fiance has H too. He found a small zit looking bump. He tried to pop but clear fluid came out. Doc said that's probably H. So lucky him for having it so easy. I'm still on meds so no sex for a bit... plus the pain keeps me from even thinking bout it. I'm having these tingling feelings down my legs. On my shin under my butt my calf & ankle area. Is this the H or meds? I think I feel it in my arms too. Is this normal should I be concerned. Anyone please help on this.

I'm pretty sure it's been here a while neither of us have cheated. So it is what it is I guess. Cant change it.. seeker I did get the generic starts with a V. I'll be going to planned parenthood this week I'm sure they can help me figure out a cheaper method. Now what do I do for suppressive keep pills on me in case? How many do I takeep if an ob is coming on
-
No blood test. They said it wasn't necessary they looked and said yep that's herpes. I'm going to go Thursday or Friday to get a full std test done. But it is almost 100% herpes. I had two doctors say it was H. I have always had a lot of discharge. I get yeast infections a lot. I get bacterial vaginosis frequently. I have just moved 2 weeks ago half way across the country and am havin a hard time finding a doctor who will take me with no insurance. I lost my ins when we moved and he won't get his at the new job until december. So it's all out of pocket. My script for valtrex was extremely expensive. I was lucky to find a doctor to take me in the other day for the diagnosis.
-
I wish I knew when I got this... I assume it's from an ex who use to cheat all the time. I am on implqnon for birth control. I am having this very dark discharge sorry this is pretty gross. I do spot with it. But I can't tell if it's period related or H related. Is that normal?
-
Thank you both so much. I'm hoping that this first ob will go soon.. I can see the med are helping. I just moved to a new state & I have been having some relationship issues. Which looking back on them are extremely small. Which is probably what caused this to peak it's ugly head out of my girly parts. I know stress is a trigger for it so I'm trying to stay calm. Did anyone else panic & worry that there could be more?

I got the news 48 hours ago. This is really happening to me. I have been glued to the computer researching everything I need to know. OK I have H it's not goin to kill me. I have hpv also but I never had anything happen with thar so it rarely cross my mind. This oh no you can't forget about it. It consumes my thoughts all day. No I have been freaking out because what if I have something else. What if I have hiv. I didn't know about this so it's possible right.. I'm sure I am working myself up. This first ob I had thought I'm working myself up. Wrong it was exactly what I had hoped it wasnt. So with that being said I can't go to the doc until Thursday hopefully to get tested for everything else. So presently I have been taking valtrex for 2 days. Symptoms are becoming less severe thank god because this hurts horribly. Happy I found this site to learn the spray bottle while using bathroom trick. Also thankfull that I have a fiance who is supportive. We don't know if he has H or not. Who gave it to who. He's never had any symptoms like mine. Guess we will find out soon enough if he has it to. Praying this is the last of the bad news.. any insight on this. I feel tingling in my legs unless my mind is playing tricks on me I feel it in my arms too is that normal? How easy is it to know if your about to get another ob? What do I do now? I've seen diet exercise.. the more I know the better off I am I suppose. Please help me. I am strigger get every minute to keep the tears at bay.

I'm trying everyday.. I have managed not to cry over it which is a big step for me. Ive cracked a few h jokes on myself. I just remember the pain & I don't want to get that surprise again I just want to know so I can snip it in the butt. Sucks I don't want family to know so I can't talk to them. My fiance doesn't really care to talk about it. It's no big deal for him & doesn't understand why it bothers me. So thanks @inka for giving me some positive feedback
