Hello, I have been dealing with my first herpes outbreak for about 2 weeks but only started meds today. I woke up today with a sore throat....is this part of the process? I'm also nauseous, terribly upset and scared. Trying to find a counselor to speak with {it's been hard to find one} I'm hungry but when I try to eat I can't. Please help...Does anyone know where I can speak to someone I'm in NJ or where I can get more information. My doctor was so good and reassuring but I just don't feel it was enough. She gave me people to speak with but none take my insurance and will not do a sliding scale...they are very expensive. Thank you~

dilemmagirl, were you on meds for the 18 months?
