Psychosomatic tingling or another outbreak?

Im pretty sure I cleared up from my first outbreak a few days ago but I think I’m feeling that itching tingling feeling again and I’m spooked that it could be another OB. How long between each OB will you start to feel symptoms again...

From everything I know, it's VERY different for everybody.

 

I know that once I started symptoms of what I believe to be my second OB in life, which happened 15 years after the first, the symptoms lasted off and on for about 4 months. Small areas of irritation, sunburned feeling, itching, that prodrome tingling feeling. Not fun, but I have just focused a lot more on eating right, getting lots of sleep and not stressing out as much as usual and that, combined with Valtrex daily for the first 2-3 months seemed to slowly put things into dormant-mode.

 

Be patient with your body and know that it will not last forever. It just takes time for your body to fight this nuisance!
