Accepting I have herpes
Posted , 2 users are following.
I was in a sexual relationships with a guy...he gave me herpes. I told him and he refuses to admit he gave it to me. It hurts a lot. Maybe he is to ashamed or maybe he is just a chicken. Either way I deserve better. Im still trying to accept i have this...i was in denial but i had my second outbreak today...not nearly as bad as the first...tomorrow is my 32 birthday and im having an outbreak...happy freakin birthday!! I just need support from people who understand...

I stopped taking my probiotics, cause I ran out, so you need to start taking a daily probiotic. That helped w my symptoms immensely.
Have you been to a doctor yet?

As for the itching, not sure if you're in the US or not, but use bactine to numb the area. Also, Epsom salt baths clear it up much faster and give relief from the itching. The longer you have this, the less recurrents will cause itching... The first few months the nerves are irritated and misfiring, resulting in itching and irritation.
I cried like every day for two months straight, so don't feel bad. It is a grieving process and you will come to terms w it eventually

When I was itching so bad I felt I'd go insane during my primary OB, I lived in the tub. The Epsom salt baths were the only thing that made the itching stop. Not only that it cleans the sores and helps stop the shedding of the virus. Had I been taking my nightly baths when I have symptoms like I normally do, this would have been gone in a couple days, but I hate bathing when it's as hit and humid as it is now, so make sure to do that.
