Thanks for replying! It really helps to hear that someone else has dealt with the diarrhea too. The doctor swabbed the sores, both the genital ones and in my throat.

I was diagnosed almost three weeks ago with a first outbreak. I was incredibly sick with all the flu-like symptoms and had such a sore throat that I could barely swallow. After seeing a regular doctor a few times (and being put on two different antibiotics), I finally ended up in the ER and was told I had Herpes both causing the UTI type symptoms I had been diagnosed with earlier and in my throat. After completing two rounds of antibiotics, then acyclovir, ondansteton, and oxycodone, as well as receiving meds through an IV, I feel like all of the worst symptoms are gone. The sores seem to be scabbing over. But I have been having diarrhea ever since the symptoms first started. I guess my questions are: 1) Has anyone else experienced diarrhea or is this caused by the medicines? 2) I'm still having lots of itching. Is this normal? 3) From what I've read, getting it in your throat is very rare. Has anyone else had this diagnosis?
