Yeast Infection Then Herpes Outbreak Then Knee Pain

[Brit]

I was diagnosed with herpes about 2 years ago now. Luckily, I've only had 3 outbreaks in that time. The first time being the worst, of course. Except something odd happened with my current outbreak. It started with a yeast infection, which I get a LOT of. Since my immune system was really affected by mono 4 years back, I get yeast infections very often. And by often I mean at least 2 times a month. Anyways, after I took the pill my doctor gives me for my yeast infection, I forget what it's called, I started feeling better. Then a few days later I felt worse, and sure enough, right after my yeast infection, came a herpes outbreak.

 

So my first question: Does anyone else experience Herpes outbreaks right after a yeast infection sometimes?

 

Second question: Does anyone experience extreme knee pain during, not before, a Herpes outbreak? How long will this knee pain usually last? And why did I get knee pain this time around?

 

If it's any help, I'm 23. Thank you in advance!!

I get yeast infections and herpes out breaks simultaneously. For years I thought my herpes symptoms were yeast infections because I had no idea I had HSV! I'm convinced my outbreaks trigger was primarily hormonal. Happily, acyclovir has pretty much stopped outbreaks entirely. Have you ever tried boric acid for the yeast infections?

Have you tried taking a good probiotic targeted to the vagina? I take femdophilus to help keep my bacteria balance in check down below to help prevent any infections. Just a thought to help with the yeast infections!
