6 Months ago I got Genital Herpes HSV 2 & i'm having constant prodome symptoms HELP!

I slept with a guy I knew 'quite well' in January this year (No protection), within days I had sores, pain, flu like feeling, discharge, all the typical symptoms of Genital Herpes. Went to my docs and they referred me to the GUM clinic where I was diagnosed. Fortunately my blood tests confirmed I was HIV negative and all other STD's negative but positive HSV 2. Before I got this, I have to say I was completely blind to this STD, knew it existed but knew nothing about it (poor sex ed). So top it off this guy completely ghosted (left me alone) hardly any communication, nothing. So I'm just here, dealing with this alone, I'm on Acyclovir, I have been taking multi vitamins for about 5 months now, also just started to try some other herbal remedies. BUT ever since the first OB I've been experiencing, tingling, burning sensations, itchy legs & strange like twinges all around my bum & vaginal area (sorry) but no actual sores. Basically I have never been promiscuous, only had a hand full of sexual partners, one being the father of my 2 year old daughter, I really liked this guy, would even have accepted the Herpes but he obviously didn't feel the same (don't even know if he knew himself). Anyway does anyone know if 1. This gets easier? 2. There are any other remedies to illuminate pro-dome symptoms? 3. Will I ever be able to maintain a normal, healthy sex life? I've decided to be celibate for a year (since getting Herpes) so I'm hoping things get better after a year. I'm 27, not getting younger :-(
