  1. @WCSDancer2010, She is a GP, and to be very honest even though I like her and think she's nice I think she is very hasty ad quick sometimes because she's popular and has lots of clients.For example Wednesday I went to her and told her I think I have a UTI, she asked me 3 questions about symptoms and proceeded to prescribe antibiotics, no urine sample nothing. I talked a bit more because to be honest I was already afraid of STD's , I'm a very intuitive person and just something told me you might want to get tested, Well that and the fact that I knew that it was stupid of me to start having unprotected sex with my ex again. So we scheduled a day for a pap test and I asked for a blood test; but she only ticked off HIV and HBS (which I'm not sure what that is) on the blood test form. Thursday when I saw the bumps I started googling a lot, I knew they didn't look like warts, but I also didn't know what they were, but because I read up a lot I knew about the swab test thing. So it's not like I didn't ask for it but she just said it wasn't necessary. It went literally like this Her: yup its herpes. Me: are you going to take a swab ? Her: not necessary I can tell. 100% Sure. Me: Do you think I got it from my ex who has cold sores? Her: most probably yes. Me: ok but cold sores are HSV 1 right? so would that be it genitally. Her: yes its all the same .....:S I'm not so sure she's such a great GP anymore honestly. But you know the looks of it , my symptoms are very H though, like I think I read that other STD's don't give you fever or headache with an OB. And something in my gut told me that the fact that my ex had a cold when he went down on me could have cause it , even though he wasn't showing it. Also my GP mentioned that if you get symptoms 2 or more days right after sex it's probably newly contracted...but still wish she was more of the testing type than the guessing type. Anyways @canadianflyguy I will get my HIV blood test results soon, and will ask for Chlamydia and HPV screening during my pap, once I'm healed I can schedule one.
  2. Thanks @WCSDancer2010, your support is amazing and means a lot to me! I'm doing better :) last night I was home alone and did a dip in a small tub with warm water and it felt very good. Tonight after reading your comment I did one again using natural sea salt I had at home, I feel like those bath are amazing, wish I could have done them earlier, they make you feel better and clean. Good to know that info about baby powder , never knew that and I used to use powder alot when I was on my period to feel "fresh" . I got some daiper rash ointment which is supposed to seal out wetness. With all the pills I was taking and feeling down I decided to stop my Birth control pills and now I realize that was stupid because I just saw that I'm spotting, and if I start doing that it's going to be harder to keep the area clean. But I survived work pretty well today :) So I'm healing up
  3. I recenlty had all the symptoms and went to my Dr. MY Dr. just looked at them and said she was 100 % certain it is H. I asked if we didn't need to do a swab she said no I can def tell by looking it is clearly H., but reading some things on here makes me realize tests can help you understand better when you got it etc.? I feel like I'd still want a test. My ex gets cold sores, we had sex last (including oral) week Friday and he had a cold but no cold sore symptoms. My symptoms; pain while peeing started on Sunday night last week, first bump I could feel and see on Tuesday, hence the reason why I conclude I just recently got it. But what if I had it dormant way before I met him ( i had 2 other long term bf before him)
  4. All I have been doing is crying but this puts a lot into perspective
  5. @forgivenessandpeace Thanks will try to look if we have it in our medicine cabinet. My mom has been worried and taking care of me but thinks It might just be my UTI or she's afraid it's chikunguya ( a mosquito virus that has been going arround heavily here) She is a supportive mom but also very christian, so I'm just afraid to tell her. I know she will still love me but I think she is from the generation who would relate having H to being promiscious and I have not been, have been with the same guy for the past 3 years, have just been staying with the same ex who isn't/wasn't good for me. Will do cotton underwear tommorow. Right now it is hard to sit,and bend or walk, thankfully I don't have to move too much at my job.
  6. hahaha, this just cheered me up, in so much pain I can't even sit :(
  7. So I'm having my first outbreak and I thought I was going to die from the pain, which made me feel like a whiner/wuss but once I read how many people have trouble dealing with the first outbreak I started to feel better. I just hope after this is healed that I remain healthy to avoid another hell outbreak like this, ‘cause I don't know how much I can take this. I have been reading a lot on this site, and I’m super thankful for the peeing in a container tip, that works better for me than in the shower. I started getting symptoms on Tuesday, at first I got antibiotics for an UTI until I saw the bumps and got diagnosed on Friday and received Zelitrex (I’m from a dutch island and the info on the medicine is all in Dutch so perhaps ya’ll don’t know it) So I started that on Friday; 2 pilss 3 times a day and the doc gave me paracetamol and ibroprofen. It seemed like it wasn’t working so I looked up tips on here. Unfortunately I don’t have a bath at home or eptome salt, so that is out of the question for me. I thought of maybe preparing a small tub, but I live with my parents and I haven’t told them so grabbing a tub to fill with hot water draws too much attention. I don’t have any diaper rash ointment at home or Vaseline, I asked my ex who I recently slept with who gave it to me to go get some coconut oil, baby diaper rash ointment or camu camu supplement , but of course since he is an asshole we got into a fight and he couldn’t . I don’t have any of those items at home and was in too much pain to get them. Yesterday I went commando and at night the pain was gone and I felt that it was starting to scab up, so I figured scabs meant they were healing? As they were not releasing the liquid anymore. However it did itch a lot , so I thought to try out the Aloe tip, I have some Aloe gel that says it is 98% aloe, but says it contains lavender, tea tree oil, carbopol and phg. I thought it was gonna sooth but it only started stinging more. Than later last night and today it was drama again, so maybe the Aloe did more damage than good? Thursday night I had used regular baby powder but yesterday I though it was perhaps best not to use anything. I also have Ammens medicated powder at home, it contains zinc oxide o.9% but I’m not sure I should use it cause it says on the bottle do not use on open skin and I guess an outbreak qualifies as open skin? Ice pack thing hurt for me, I did also try a warm washcloth with warm water and that did feel better. But today it is so bad that even water stings Is a “relapse” like this normal? How is it that I stopped feeling pain last night and today it is excruciating again? What else do you all recommend? I have to go to work tomorrow, So I need to be able to sit and walk.
