Hi, I have been experiencing symptoms for about 6 weeks now and I just got the confirmation. I tested positive for HSV-1 but negative for HSV-2. which is weird because it is located in my genital area. what I'm most worried about is the tingling feeling and pins and needle feeling I feel all over my face. Is this normal? I feel like I have nerve damage or something and i get worried my face will never feel the same!! Any advice? Will I eventually not feel the tingly feelings? Thanks!!

Yeah, those tingly feelings will eventually go away. Those sensations are your body's way of reacting the virus. You can try taking vitamin b. It helped me a lot.

During my initial outbreak, I had those sensations all over my face and my hands. I am taking Vitamin B complex. It has B6 and B12 in it and bunch of other Bs :) it also helped with my focus and memory.

I have hsv 2, taking acyclovir daily. I didn't have any more OBs except the first one but when I get stressed the skin on my OB site starts to tingle and crawl.

How long did your initial last? This has been going on for 6 weeks and the tingly feelings for 3 weeks. I'm eating well and high lysine diet. I have not received meds as I just got the confirm over answering machine Friday night at 7:00 pm.

Well, when the blisters were forming I immediately noticed them. I was so worried abt herpes before all of this so when I had any weird sensations down there, I always checked. Next day, I went to PP and nurse practitioner told me the lesions looked herpetic so I started treatment right away. Lesions dissappeared in aweek but those sensations continued for appr. 10 days. Antivirals helped me a lot. Maybe you should talk to your Dr abt taking antivirals.
