I have good news to share! :D

I went to the clinic yesterday as I was worried about whether I was getting regular outbreaks turns out that she confirmed that in February because the pain I experienced was so painful it was confirmed that it was definitely a bartholin cyst that I had and then had my 1st outbreak sore in March when I was swabbed positive for hsv2, in April I experienced a very painful outbreak on my vulva which was extremely painful when passing urine and ever since then I have been very alert to any thing that I then think may be an outbreak. I remember going to a clinic before and she saying she can't see any sore even though I could see bumps and felt itchy and a slight burn feeling now and again. She checked yesterday and she couldn't see a thing and gave me some Olatium cream to soothe my skin as it seemed slightly sore either side which I told her was most probably from me pouring table salt over me in the bath everyday for a week thinking it was an outbreak even though there was no open sore.

Checked in the mirror that evening when I got back and realised that all this time I have been worrying over what I thought was an outbreak was actually nothing but a bump(s) from shaving and clothing friction and when I read up on it,it confirmed that they can be itchy and have a small burning feel to them at times or if hair is growing back it can be itchy.

So I feel sooo much better and relieved to know I was panicking over nothing,I suffer with ocd over washing my hands so when diagnosed with hsv2 and being a natural worrier it was making me paranoid and forgetting about how it was before my diagnosis when I had a slight itch now and again when hair would be growing back or if I had a few shaving bumps. I wouldn't of gave it a thought before or be worried about it but because I now have hsv2 I wasn't sure if it was herpes and this explains why they never looked like a typical herpes breakout because all along they wasn't.

Hopefully this can re-assure other people who have panicked like I have.
