Posted , 3 users are following.
Have been with my bf for 14 mnths. Around 6 mnths ago both of us had an outbreak within 2 days of one another. It was diagnosed and confirmed as Genital herpes. In the past 6/8 weeks I have had around 6 outbreaks. Sometimes with very small sores..some with loads. However , each time, we have both felt so sick. Really horrible! We have both been vomitting etc. We are so upset and worried. I have an appointment with my gp tmrw night. Meantime, can anyone tell me is this normal?! X

You obviously haven't done much research because quite a few ppl have herpes but don't know cos they never get no signs or symptoms. Do does not mean that this guy has cheated nor her.

I have suffered over the yrs from thrush. I have now questioned if maybe it wasnt always thrush. However never had blisters or sores. So presuming that the breakout at xmas time was the first of herpes. My bf had one tiny spot on the end of his penis. He had thought it was just a spot. We had sex and within 2 days I was in agony..itching etc. Thinking it was thrush, I bought the usual thrush treatments. After another day ir two the symptons got worse.I went to the STI clinic were they said the blisters had already burst but they took a swab anyway. A week later I called them n was told it was Herpes. I was told it should never be as bad again. However..the symptoms have just got worse and in the past 6/8 wks we are now both ill. He has not had any sores apart from that one spot. We r both completely stumped. He had also never had any sores/spots previous. X

I suppose we r just looking for answers. Also if after such severe and recurrent episodes, we need to be on medication long term? I was handed an antiviral med n told to try n use it in the first few days of the outbreak. However..easier said than done when one episode is running into the next! X

Believe me when I say I have loads of unanswered questions. What stunned me was how all of a sudden it started with us both almost exactly to the day.
