EHL

So, It has been about 3 months since my hubby has been diagnosed with HSV2. During this 3 months, he has not slept well, been diagnosed with Blepharitis and has had a unspecified sore on his thigh. I don't know if anyone can answer this, but here goes: Will this all even out? Will my hubby ever feel ok again? Is it just a matter of my hubby getting the right kind of medication? And/or enough time passing? Thank you in advance.

@HikingGirl, Thank you so much!! I'll pass these on to my hubby. I really appreciate all the suggestions! I'll be sure to let everyone know if he/we come up with another treatment. :)

Hi, So my husband was just diagnosed with HSV 1 and 2 about 2 and 1/2 weeks ago. He has had HSV 1 for sometime, but just had the first outbreak for HSV 2 in his genital region... His doc prescribed 500 mg of valtrex and told him to take 1 pill per day, 2 if needed (for pain). My hubby is in varying amount of pain daily in his genital region. (His doc went on vacation shortly after the diagnosis and won't be back for another week, and my hubby doesn't want to deal with another doc.) So, short of "waiting it out," is there any other option? I looked into a numbing gel for him, but he said it didn't really work. Same with ice...Any other ideas of what would work on the pain? I hate to see him in this constant pain. Thank you in advance!

Sorry for the delay in response. We've been visiting family. Thank you for responding! Yep, I plan to. That's what I keep trying to tell myself when I get sad/upset about his diagnosis; I probably have it already but just am not showing any symptoms.

Thank you for the reply. I appreciate it! I will check out the book. I have not been tested with an IgG blood test. We both decided, that we are going to forgo me being tested at the moment.(I don't think we could handle much more news right now) I appreciate the response! Thank you again!

Hey, So my husband, who is in his 30s, just got diagnosed with Herpes 1 & 2. While he is devastated, I am also pretty upset. I am trying to be there for him and not freak out for me. Every itch, tingle I have right now seems magnified, I am not trying to tell him too much as he is pretty upset right now, understandably. Which leads me to my questions, please bear with me - I have had an itch on my neck, which has been rather itchy..I looked at it and there seems to be no sores, but does have bumps. I also have two pimples which may or may not be sores around my belly button..I have no sores in my genital region. From what I've seen on the internet, that doesn't seem indicative of herpes, but I was hoping someone who had more experience with this could give me their opinion? (To be honest, every bump on my skin, etc. right now sends my mind reeling.) Thank you in advance for your insight!
