Sayyywhatt

Welcome!!!! Nahhh weed doesn't effect H if anything it'd help me when igot stressed and it helped.me when my ob were severe the first 2 ob. Did you get anything from the doctor like valtrex for your ob? Cuz that helps a lot when iget symptoms of one istarted taking it right away and it prevents it and if iget an ob and start to take it it makes it less painful and not last as long. Good luck at the doctors :)

Ihave had H for about 6 months now. When ifirst got diagnosed icried for weeks my ob was so bad that ihad them all the way from the front to the back of my genital area....covered in blisters. I don't shave until my ob are over with (which Ihate doing) but just how kseelarky said wash your hands before you touch anything!!! Living with H ihave learned to love myself even.more and learned to take better care of myself. Iforget ihave it all the time. One way to control it is to stress less iknow once istarted to stress iget ob. My "giver" caused so much stress for me that the 4 months iwas with him ihad ob after ob and the moment ibroke up with him ihavnt had any obs :). Your husband is supportive because he loves you!!!! My ex that ibroke up with before imet my giver came back into my life and wanted to get back together and before we started anything again itold him ihad contracted it and while icried he held me and said he loved me no matter what and that doesn't bother him because he loves me unconditionaly!!! We were together for a year and a half before we broke up and eventhogh we seperated for a couple months were about to celebrate 2 years April 1st. Keep your head up :) life still continues just think of it as a skin condition that's flares up once in awhile its really not a big deal :) Much love, Tiffany

Hello there like everyone has said don't wait on a cure go out nd live your life. Ihave type 1 diabetes for almost 12 years now and there is no cure for it. Having that I've learnsd your just the same as everyone else just have something for the rest of your life no big deal!!! During my OB istill went to work eventhough in pain and still did fun stuff and was just like everyone else. Hopefully in the future I'm hopeing for a core for both H and diabetes weather its when I'm alive or not. But until then live my life normally :)

I'm so glad you found this website!! I'm 22 and found out I had H in September and its been the biggest blessing in disguise for me. I know what experience your talking about I have had many of those when iwas 19 to 21 and eventhough its fun at the moment but having H has made me a stronger person ihavnt slept around with people my giver and me were together 4 months and icontracted it the first time we had sex together. It's been a long road but ibroke up and got with my ex that ihad before my giver and he was very accepting that ihad it and didn't care. You can still have fun just like marinamelody said. Just take your medicine and use condoms but your young life isn't over ipromise you!!! Its just started. When ifirst had my OB a lady on here lelani helped omw so much and one thing she said to me was that "its just a skin condition that flares up once in awhile". After repeating that go myself for so long and loving myself today I forget I even have it anymore!!! Ican honestly say H was the best thing ihave ever gotten!!! Ihave told a few people in my life and guess what? They never judged me or anything for it most of their responses were "so?? IRS not a big deal!!!" I was really taken back cuz this is the one thing in life ihad always feared of getting but now that ihave it iknow there is so many other people in the world who Yvette it beside me. 1 out of ever 3-4 people have it and in college its the same!!! Keep your head up girl and remember to always love yourself your going to get threw it and your young life isn't over :) Big hugs Tiff

It's good to hear from you I've been thinking about how you were doing!!! Yes valtrex is what itake ihad OB after OB when iwas first diagnosed in September but since ibroke up with my giver ihavnt had one in over 2 months : D!! Try keeping your stress levels down and ear healthy and exercise that's what ido and it really helps. I'm so sorry your experience was bad money iwas too iended up on the hospital and had to take pain meds or just tylonal pm to sleep or not be in pain anymore. Again its good to hear from you :) !! Big hugs Tiff

Thank you so much this article was amazing to read!!!

Genussbuterfly welcome I'm really glad you found us especially in your time of need. I'm sorry your going threw this. Icaught HSV1 in the first week of September. My sorry is alil different though. Iwas with someone for 1 and 1/2 years and went on a trip for a week to Washington at the end of August. The day after Icame back ibroke up with him and imet someone new that day and hooked up with him after a party that he djed at and igogoed at. The next day he asked me out. A week later it started hurting down there and ihad blisters iwent to the doctor and right away when she looked at it she told me it looks like herpes. My world ccame crashing down. Iwas miserable and couldn't even look at myself. Ifound this website and looked at people story's and people helped me. Iam now able to look at myself in the mirror and Ijust remind myself that its just a skin condtion and SOOOOO many people in the world have it and anyone can get it. My giver wasn't supportive denied he face it to me and when we would break up he would throw it in my face "Ihope everytome you have an OB you think of me". Girl its going to be ok :) there's so many people you can talk to on here and get a support system going!!! My ex came back into my life and were back together. He knows ihave H itold him before we got back together. Iwas stupid and made a dumb choice to have unprotected sex during an OB he knew iwas having an OB and he contracted it as well. Iblamed myself for a little bit about it but its a lesson learned. We all make mistakes don't beat yourself up!!! If you want you can message me if you want n H buddy :) Your friend Tiff

Domh21 your welcome ya icorget ihave it a lot now since ihavnt gotten OB its a great feeling as long as idont stress its all good Leani....that's so good to hear!!! you really helped me out during my first OB and because of that ihave learned to accept it and be ok I had another account but it got deleted but ido want to thank you for everything ihad no one till ifound this site and you were the first person to talk to me....much love Tiff

Thank you for taking the time to read this. It just a skin condition there's times where istill feel down but yes it is scary at first but Iam glad ican help people today with it :)

I'm 22 years oleander found out ihad herpes in the first week of September. Wensday will be the day iwent into the doctors office and was told what ihad was most likely herpes. Its been one hell of a ride since. Here's my story. The third week of August itook a trip to Washington. Iwas in a relationship with my bf at the time we were together a year and a half. While iwas up there idecided when igot home iwas going to leave him due to some past stuff that happened and icouldnt get over. The day after igot back idumped him and that same night iwas going to a party to gogo dance for a friend (he's a DJ and needed girls to dance). My friend and his Gf came over and itold them iwas breaking up with my bf. They said the Guy who was picking us up to take us to the party was single and nice and totally my style so isaid ok and went along with it. When imet him instant butterflies. In the car we all were talking and itold my friend Gf ithought he was cute and so we made a stop at 7/11 and when we got back in the car she said he was really digging me. Long story short we hit it off and after the party was done we all went back to his house. Iended up hooking up with him and the next morning he asked me out and asked me to stay for dinner. Iaccepted. If felt like iwas happy and this Guy was so perfect. Iremember a couple days after it hurt down there and ithought it was just chaffing cuz he had stubble and went down on me. Itold him and he said if itvot worse go to the doctor. So imade an appointment for wensday. When iwent in itold her ithought it was chaffing and she said ok and instantly when she looked she said hunny that's herpes. I instantly broke down and she comforted me and told me so many people have it and she was sorry itold her he had a cold sore when he went down on me and she said that was one way to contract it. Ileft the doctors office and itold him all that she told me and he asked if igot it from my ex. My first OB was terrible. Icouldnt sit or stand or walk or sit of even lay down without crying in pain. Iended up in the hospital and they gave me morphine there and prescribed me nor cos.itook it once and didn't like the feeling so inever ttook it again. As time progressed he turned out to be a verybad Guy. Whenever we fought he said "Ihope whenever you have a OB and think of me". He cheats on me nd lied about his whole life to me. Imoved in with him and he ended up getting kicked out because he had a fist fiht with my Roomate in the livingroom cuz my Roomate thought he had laid hands on me again. We moved inti my parents house and then things got really Rocky. The middle of December my ex ihad left came back into the picture. So iwas torn. We had been talking and GE told me he still loved me and wanted me back. Ihung out with him for 2 weeks and noticed he had changed for the better.iended up telling my ex ihad herpes....to my surprise he didn't care!!! He told me he loved me the same and something like that isn't a big deal. Iended up breaking up with my bf and got back with my ex. Its been a month since idumoed him and got with my ex. I'm the happiest ihave been in a lONG time!!!! My current bf and ihad unprotected sex during an OB and he contracted it too. Ifelt so much guilt and terrible but he told me it didn't matter. Were engaged and plan on getting married. This has been a long journey so far. Sorry this is so long but ilearned to love myself and what ihave isn't a life ending this. Its just a skin condition that can be helped since ibroke up with that low life andgm got back with my ex ihave had NO OB!!!!! Life is life and I've come to terms wig what ihave and have a support system ad my friends that know havbt judged me they Yvette been there fir me there it all. Fir those of you struggling it will get better ipromise and if your lonely don't worry you'll find someone who will accept you :). Ihave a few Guy friends who've told me to then its nit a bug deal and havbt dated women who have it. You just take steps to be protected. I'm in a way happy icontracted it....I've grown up and its part of my story. Ilearned to be ok and that its not a big deal and when an oh starts take my medicine and control my stress level. Ipray and meditate and I'm starting to eat healthy and be more physically active.

I'm in need of an h buddy ilive in South Ba, California and don't know anyone who has it...it would be nice to have someone to talk to

Thank you Bobby :)) ya he is a jerk but Ijust found out my ex has stage 2 intestinal cancer and they won't know till Monday if its spread or not. Iguess it's karma in my eyes but idont want him to die. But yes this skin condition has helped me learn to love myself and brought me back to the man I'm supposed to spend the rest of my life with. Ithank God everyday. Iwas having an OB for a month straight the last month iwas with my ex and the day after or two days after ibroke up with him it went away and ihavnt gotten an OB since : D!!! And imight be pregnant too so life is good. Just remember its just a skin disease and your going to find someone and you have to step out of your comfort zone when you find someone and be honest and if they revetment you its OK!!!! There are so many fish in the sea you'll find your nemo. :)

Hey there. My doctor talked to me last week about pregnancy and herpes (iwas having a pregnancy scare). She told me they put you on the same medicine you get when you have an ob and if worse come to worse you get a c section :)).... nothing to really worry about

When are you supposed to get it removed?

Welcome I'm glad you found us :)). My first OB was in September and it was the MOST PAINFUL EXPERIENCE IHAD EVER HAD. Iwas able to pee but icromied everytime Idid. My blisters were so bad down there icouldnt sit, stand, walk,lay down or anything. Icontracted hvs1 from my now current ex the first day we had sex. Iended up in the hospital cuz icouldnt stand the pain anymore. They ended che led down there and ended up giving me morphine while iwas there. Itried everything iwas talkig anywhere between 3-4 baths with Epsom salt a day and my doctor told me to.use neosporine with burning and pain relics. That did help in the beginning but twords the middle and end irarley used it so the blisters could heal up. Ihave had 2 OB since then. The second one was kinda bad but iwas able to walk and go to work and this later one didn't hurt and igot no blisters. It gets easier ipromise. When ifeel the signs starting instantly take my medicine or call my doctor to send the prescription in. Ihope you get fully recovered soon :)). From your H buddy, Tiff

Hey Bobby!!! Km so glad you found us : D. Ihave not H as long as you have I've only had it since September. Just as you contracted it threw oral Idid too.ihad just broken up with my ex anf Ihad just met this Guy and the first night he went down on me. The next day we were bf and Gf. Well a couple days went by and it was really painful down there and ithought ihad just chafed and it would go away. It just got worse nd worse and iended up going to the doctors and told her what happened and that ithink iwas chafed and that he had stumble when it happened. When she took a look she instantly told me it looked like H and had to swab me (which was so painful). Itold my my bf (now currently ex bf) what happened and that he had a cold sore and that's how igot it. He always denied that's it was him who gave it to me. Over the corset of a few months anytime Wed fight and break up he'd throw it in my face saying well atleazt you have something to remember me by whenever you get an Ob and that no ones going to want a herpes infested skank like me. But iended up breaking up with him a couple weeks ago. My ex that ihad left the dying before imet this Guy came back into my life and wanted to work thing out we HD been together for a year and a half before we broke up. Iwas so.scared to tell him what ihad contracted and afraid he wouldn't want me anymore and Ijust came out with it one night and cried to him telling him iwas sorry. Ithought he would think of me so different.....but he didn't he was really accepting of it and told me nothing was going to change about how he felt bout me. And iasked him what if you catch it and he said he loved me and plans to spend the rest of his life with me and he wouldn't care. Iwas at the start of an OB recently and we had unprotected sex and he ended up contracting it. Idied inside when iwent to the doctors with Jim and the doctor Said that's what it looked like. In the end I'm back with him and he purposes to me. If ihadnt taken that step and gotten over my fear of rejection iwouldnt be as happy as Iam today. My giver always threw it in my face and that to me was so hurtful. You will find happiness and you will find someone who is accepting if it ipromise you that :). You have to let go of that fear. I'm going to break my anonymity I'm in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous and one thing we learn in the rooms is not to run on fear. If you let fear control your life your going to be one miserable mother fucker. It takes baby steps sometime but you don't let fear run your life or else you'll get no where in life :). Ihope my story and my words brought so brightness to your situation.and helped. :) take care Your H buddy, Tiff

Hey there. Welcome I'm so glad you found this website istumbled upon here during my first OB cuz iwas so desperate for help. My experience sucked. Ibroke up with my bf and got with someone else we had unprotected sex the first day we met and he had a cold sore on his lip and went down on me. We didn't think anything of it until 2 days later. Iwas starting to get sores down there and ithough it was just bad chaffing from his facial hair. Iwent to my doctor explained to her what happened and instantly when she took a look she said oh bunny that looks a lot like herepes. I instantly broke down sobing in the office and she talked to me and gave me advice. Itold my giver what she said and he thought igot it from my ex not him. Iwas in so much pain and had SO many blisters. Iactually ended up in the hospital cuz the pain was si unbearable. They had to give me morphine threw an IV. Icouodnt sit, stand, walk or lay down without being in so much pain. Igot advice on here and support. What Idid during my OBs is 2-3 Epsom salt baths (depending on how bad the OB is), get plenty of sleep at night, eat healthier and stay away front sick people. Whenever you start feeling an OB come on start your valtrex immediately its going to help. Also if you get sick at all its going to trigger it. Ihave strep throat since Friday and I'm Going threw an Ob right now and its no where close tto my first this is my 3rd OB since iwas diagnosed with it in October also stress is a HUGE trigger try mediation and keep calm in stressful situations. Ihope iwas able to help you :) if you ever need to talk or have questions you can always inbox me :) and I'm sending love and healing your way <3 Love tiff

Well with my ob iget them so bad it hurts to sit, stand, walk or lay down that's how its been I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow about this and having insomnia and the strep iknow ihave strep for sure but ihave had H since the beginning of September and this is my 3rd OB and mostlikely she is going to put me in daily medicine. Last time she said lets see how long till your next one and well go from there.

Did you take falters or anything for out? If so for how lon

Just like cbk said how would you feel if he passed it on to someone else? If he outs you he's doing it to himself too. But you'll feel better once you let him know. Everything will turn pot in the end. :) well be here for you you can always inbox me and I'll be an H buddy with you if you needed one:) . Take care,<3, tiff.

I possibly have strep throat right now and Ijust started feeling sick last night and all of a sudden ifeel an OB coming on and it hurts to sit and alil to walk. I'm taking my a generic brand of Valtrex like will that help with he strep throat issue till Monday? I just am scared that he OB is going to be bad again and iwont be able to walk or anything and ialso have diabetes and want to stay clear of going to the hospital. Anyone have any suggestion or can just talk to me I'm more worried about my OB more than anything else idont like the fact icant live my life and do things when iget them bad and am bed ridden for 2 weeks like i have been when i get them. And also has any females have a preoblem with getting preggers due to having herpes? Cuz I just had my second one this year

I'm going threw the same thing right now. Its weird ialwsys thought my ex wouldn't take me back cuz icontracted it from my new partner. After me and my ex started talking again Ijust finally got the courage to tell him. Itold him ihad to tell him something and it may change how yourself about me and Icame out with it. He didn't judge me at all. He said he loved me and all of me and it doesn't matter to him if ihave it he loves me unconditionally

I'm going through my 3rd OB since igot it in September and I'm just stressed out. I dont really have anyone who will really understand and know what its like. If anyone lives around l.a it would be nice to chat or met up and have someone ican talk to. Male or female idont care really

Your very welcome :)

Welcome I'm glad you found us :). I'm sorry your worried. Right now since your waiting on your results all you can do is try to relax you do not know of you have it for sire yet. Did you guys just do oral or go full blown. If it was oral and she gave the Guy oral before you two got together you may type one. Thats what ihave. When iwent to the doctor iwas already having an Outbreak and the moment she looked at me to get a culture she said i had it just rhetest would confirm. Its a scary thing to wait on the results to now for sure. Don't worry though your not in this alone. This website has helped me through my rough times. if you need to talk or have anymore questions you can inbox me if you'd like. Stay strong its going to be ok :)
