[HSV-2 Rough First Outbreak: Could use advice and friends]

I was just diagnosed today so I definitely know how you feel. This first outbreak has been absolute hell for me. I'm starting valtrex tomorrow so hoping to see some positive results. Hang in there!

[Diagnosed today.]

Hi guys, I'm a 19 year old female. I had symptoms for about 5 days and finally decided to go get tested and was positive for HSV 2. I really don't know too much about the virus so figured I would join this community to have some support. I've told my close friends and they guy I've been involved with and they're all very supportive. This is my very first outbreak and the pain is unbearable. I literally cannot urinate without crying and walking and standing all day at work kills. What are some things to help with the pain? What kind of changes did you make to your diet when you found out?
