What are your symptoms like?

Hi everyone, I hope that this post finds you doing well or on the way to healing! I'm posting to start a discussion of what symptoms every one has had that are related to HSV. I'm curious because people experience it so differently. So if you could please post about your symptoms/outbreaks I would appreciate it! Thanks!

 

Personally I've had one outbreak with 4 blisters and a swollen lymph node in my groin, the open areas took 3-4 weeks to totally heal. I've been left with weird residual feelings that come up at times. I had some irritated/burning feelings to one side of my vulva (opposite side and far away from where the outbreak was) but with my history of vulvodynia figured it could be nerve pain so I saw my specialist and went back on cymbalta which mostly took that feeling away. What's plaguing me now is one sided clitoral discomfort, nothing visibly wrong in the area. Sometimes I'm just aware that it's hypersensitive and other times it aches. I have no idea if this is HSV related but needless to say it is frustrating!
