My pcp I ain't much help. I know I definitely need something to give me a little boos to over come this. Thank you again @whitedaises
-
@whitedaises thank you for the positivity and encouragement. I need to set up an appointment with a psychiatrist asap. Did the meds help?
-
Sorry I commented on the wrong post with my initial post. :-(
-
@whitedaises I just started therapy. It made me feel good to talk about my issues. I also realised that I have other areas of my life that I never resolved. I need to see an actual therapist since I was considering getting some meds to help with my mood and constant h osession. The person I meet with cannot prescribe meds
-
Im not a huge crowd type of person so that would completely overwhelm me
-
@whitedaiaes that's wonderful advice. I definitely need to make sure I don't completely give in and that's what I feel may be happening. That's why I decided to reach out on Here to get others advice on this issue. Thank you
-
@cariboo I honestly don't know if I can. But I do know that if I'm hme and not sleep I'm thinking about H. Recognize the issue and I need to try and fix it. Im this no way to live.
-
@cariboo I'm invited places but always say no. I know I should go just to get out but how do I get out of the Rutt and make myself go. Ive lost a lot of weight during this ordeal that started in december. My mind says I need and want it go to the gym but once I'm home I just stay in my room and don't do anything. Im not comfortable in my own skin. I need to tone and that's taking a toll on me to.
-
@whitedaiaes you always have great advice. Thank you. Im trying not to succomb to it but it's so hard. I just don't feel like myself anymore
-
I've finally accepted that I have H..but I can't seem to find the drive to want to get out the house and want to do anything. Does anyone have any suggestions to get through this?? Im wondering if it is from the valtrex or could it just be me being depressed or something.
-
@sadpanda I I'm going to try those condoms as well as the coconut oil. :-) after my last issue I'm scared to try and have sex. I take vitamin b complex, vitamin a. e. D.c, zinc, cq10, Selenium, L-L-methinone, L -Lysine and a multivitamin. A bunch of stuff :-)
-
@mssimgme well said! Im no longer ashamed of having H. I want to learn as much as possible and help others in anyway shape or form. Of course if I could turn back the hands of time and not have this virus I would...but.. I can't so why not make the best out of life. Yes I still sad and down but things could be worse. Im determined to beat this site and not let it over come my life.
@beebee you will get to a more positive place indue time. Like i said before I'm always available
-
@beebee I still go through my ups and downs but I've got to the point where I just stay as positive as possible. Im having a hard time finding the motivation to do things. If you ever need to talk feel free to message me
-
@beebee I promise you your life is not over. Im newly diagnosed in December and I thought my life was over. But I've come so far in such a short amount of time. Having this forum has helped me Tremendously. When I started having my symptoms I was tired all the time and just wanted to sleep as well. How your feeling is normal well at least to me because I felt the same way. I lost weight from not eating and the stress factor of everything. Im not 100% but I'm progressing everyday. Stay positive! How xoxo

@sadpanda I'm allergic to latex as well. I use the skyn brand condoms made with polyurethane and that messed me up as well. I also used luvena water based lubricant. Not sure if it was both that caused me to have an allergic reaction or just the condom. I did have sex twice the first day without lube and the second day with. Im so sensative to everything lubes and condoms. Now Im leaning towards the women condom or lambskin. I take daily valtrex suppressive therapy and supplements
-
How do you find clinical trial information? IIm in the usa
-
Im currently battling the same thing. I just want my normal feeling vagina back. I just went through a tough time with an allergic reaction to a condom that benadryl helped relieve the burning and throbbing my urethra was going through. I felt pretty good yesterday and today it's feeling a little irritated. Does that mean I'm shedding? Im still scared to urinate just because of the burning and throbbing I was dealing with after I went. Also, I believe I've had a paper cut ob two or three times. I literally had one small dot looking cut I never seen a blister and it never crusted over it was a little bigger than the size of a pen tip.
-
@getbetter11 what did the urologist say when you went? I was thinking of going to see one. That's my main issue right now. Im so scared to even pee. I was diagnosed in December. I was hoping with time things go back to normal but since you're on your sixth month and still have issues has me a nervous.
-
I've been making great progress with accepting my diagnosis. Of course I have my good days and bad days, but I'm working through it with the help of everyone on here. My question is.. When will I feel normal down there? Im not having ob's, but I'm having other issues. Urethra irritation due to an allergic reaction to a condom and ititcomes and goes just won't go away completely. I just want everything thing to settle down down there. Will that ever happen?
-
@sadpanda I'm extremely sensative to meds as well. When I went to the doctor about the issues I've was having she said I may need to use them episodicaly since I was having so many issues. I tried it and was thinking everything was the beginning of an ob so I just needed started back using the meds. Im to nervous to see what might happen without them
-
@bruck009 I had very bad side effects with valtrex suppressive therapy when I first took it. But, I was stressed out so bad. I literally thought I was dying and going crazy. I stopped taking it and tried acyclovir but had side effects with it at first that I'm but later subsided . I had two paper cut ob's while on acyclovir and so I switched back to valtrex and have been fine. I think stress plays a big roll in everything when it come to H. Just give yourself time
-
I've only had one actual ob with blisters. I was having an issue with side effects with the meds at first. I went off for a couple weeks and noticed on small paper cut ob.i started with valtrex.. Stopped becuse I had bad side effects. I went on acyclovir and got another paper cut ob and had a lot of prodomes. I got back on valtrex suppressive therapy and have not had another ob. But I still don't feel 100% down there. Im just hoping with time things go back to normal. I have two strong supportive people in my life that I'm so grateful for. Im also grateful for this site as well.
-
@cariboo awe man. I was still dealing with my ob on Christmas. Talk about a bummer. But things get better day by day. Im still learning my body and just went through a rough time which caused me to obsess over H. It's almost like ten steps forward and five steps back.
-
@prettysure2 I deal with the same issue. Some days are better than others. It also seems like when I think about h I feel every twitch and tingle.. But. When I don't I don't have any feelings down below. I was diagnosed in December so it's all fairly new to me but I can't wait until the day I can stop obsessing over things and just live my life.
