first outbreak of herpes
Posted , 7 users are following.
I may have herpes...I'm 16 years old it's my first outbreak
I got an STI blood test, urine sample and swab done yesterday and my syptoms came about last saturday and since have gotten worse over time.
It's incredibly painful to pee....I'm doing the salt bath and holding myself open when peeing but it still hurts like hell! The only time i get relief is in the bath without peeing...
I need to poop but I've been keeping it in..
I haven't been drinking a lot
And i haven't been eating much as i don't feel like it...
I feel like crying over this...im in another state on holiday to where i live and i just want to go home and recover...
I go back on sunday and im scared to go on the plane....
I don't have any medication for herpes
Just antibiotics for "infection" which has helped dry my sores up....
Im on two sets of pain relief too but they don't do much...

I just want to say to you that if you have herpes (and you might not remember!) You are amongst many many people who have this. Once you get through this it will settle down too.
Get some good support from someone you can trust and if it is herpes (remember it might not be!) you can get antiviral medication if you get another outbreak.
Some people don't get another one but if they do it gets milder especially with the medication.
I'm sure you must feel alone right now but you have a community here who can support you and you'll be home soon!
Take care
Lucy

I really cant say it better than Lucy did. You're among many people who care because like soooo many people we live it too. I've been HSV-2 positive for 10 years and I experienced everything you described as well. Once you get on suppression therapy you're golden. Personally, I can't even remember my last outbreak and all the feelings you're experiencing (not eating, etc) I suspect is just depression from the initial shock. I know that's what happened to me. Get to your doctor and get your meds and in a matter of days you'll feel better. I have been in counseling and with this group for sometime and it helps a lot. The crying will subside too.
Remember....This is a very common situation in society

Thank you very much xx
I have to say it's getting better x
The pain when i pee in the salt bath does not hurt nearly as much as it used to ~ i no longer cry or scream π still is painful but now it's manageable ~ and its getting slightly easier to walk and sit even with aches and stings~
I think the reason i don't want to eat would be my antibiotics since i do wanna eat but i feel like throwing up when food is in my mouth...
i love food honestly πand im bummed that right now i can barely eat.
Im hoping that once this is all through I'll be able to eat again with no hassle π
Im going back to my doctor today for my results (the day i go back to my home state π)

The outbreak seems to be getting better as pering in the bath has gotten a lot less painful.
I've been going to the toilet a lot more now maybe 3 times a day compared to what i was before.
I hopefully get my results today ~ they said i would ~
I can walk easier but still with pain and sit stikl with pain but it's getting a lot easier to manage.
Thank you for the help xxx I'm going on a plane back to my home state today so im glad it's healing
