    I've had 2-3 attacks since contracted herpes last year and nothing much since then. My symptoms diminished with time. So you may be  lucky like me.

      Covering the sores w Vaseline assisted w the pain, because then u didn't have as much friction.

      Well no, I think if you're still having that many outbreaks, you need to have him wrote you a prescription for valtrex to take daily. Do you know if you got hsv1 or 2? If your bf had hsv 1/ cold sores in the mouth, you can get that from kissing. But if you've not had any cold sores yet, I'd not worry too much about it.

      You think ????? WelI just found out 1/11/2014 because just like everyone say that they dont know they have it ive had the spythoms before but I never knew what they were I always felt like it was a yeast infection. Until one day after work i went to the hospital because it was hurting so bad the lady never even tested me yet . She was like you have herpes simplex I started crying immediately I ask how did she know without the test she said because she knows what herpes look like then i went to anothe hospital the mD said the samething and now I have so many doctor bills.

      Wow, I'm so sorry sweetie.. That's terrible how he's treated you and you don't deserve that. I know it is easier said than done, but keep your head up and know that you really do deserve better.

      Absolutely! I was crying every single day and couldn't even get out of bed. I was in so much pain and had to go to the ER, even after seen an ob/GYN and being on meds for a week, because I developed severe neuropathy. I never thought I was going to live w put pain again. You need to do the following: 1. Get daily suppressive medicine. 2. Take lysine supplements daily at 1000mlgs and 3000 if you're having an ob. 3. As many Epsom salt baths as possible during ob and/or irritation. 4. 3xs the daily recommended dose of viatimin C daily 5. Stop eating/d drinking very sugary stuff 6. Eat pineapple daily

      You will notice as time goes on: hey... I just enjoyed myself for an hr and forgot I had it... When you start having those moments, yiu then realize it will increase in length and frequently and you will gain a sense of normalcy again. Ball your eyes out as you need, but always remember at the end of that crying fit, that this is not who you are and does not define your life or happiness.

      Lysine is a time of amino acid that is found in meats like chicken and fish. It helps speed up obs and minimize symptoms. I ran out and I'm breaking out more frequently, since not taking any. You can get it at your neighborhood pharmacy/drug store.

    Hello Princess,

                          Sorry to hear you have this virus, I have it too, like you I was depressed at first, I was so depressed I would not leave my house for a long time, I lost all my confidence, the bit that I had left anyway, the outbreaks were constant back to back sometimes two or three at a time it was a nightmare the physical pain was awful it woke me at night and plagued me all day, the psychological pain was unbearable, I didn't know what I had done to deserve this, felt disgusting couldn't believe it, I didn't even get diagnosed for 3 nearly 4 years I was so embarrassed and in denial, and I'm in a long term relationship this is our 11th year, and Ive had this 5 years now, I thought he would think I had cheated when I hadn't, I was left thinking he had cheated and given me this, he doesn't even get symptoms of the virus, I was all over the place.

    Now I'm over having it, it took time for me, but all people are different, Ive just had another child I'm happy I can leave the house again have a normal sex life, I have my confidence, my sense of humour is amazing now and I don't judge people anymore, I'm so much more happier than I have been in years to be honest, whenever I do get an outbreak which is quite rare now, I remind myself it'll pass and I'll be back to normal soon, theres much worse I could be dealing with, all the people in the world have their problems and this is our problem to deal with, it does get so much easier for us I promise is what I'm trying to tell you, keep your chin up and smile, your not alone with this we are all here for you to talk to, your beautiful and strong and these hard days will pass you by.

    If you do suffer outbreaks alot try eating a large chunk of fresh pineapple every day, or juice some pineapple every day, I do that and I dont get outbreaks anymore now, I still do itch a bit occasionally but thats it, I dont get the leg or bum pains anymore, its made my life so much more managable.

    Hope this helps you in some way, all the best...

    Mandy smile

      Omg princess, that is terrible. I am so sorry you went through this. I hope you're not w him anymore? There's absolutely nothing wrong w seeking therapy to discuss what has happened and why you allow such horrible treatment by a man and how to prevent being victimized like this again. Do you have anyone at home to speak w and receive support?
