How do you live with HSV-2
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hello,
I was just diagnosed with HSV-2 last week and I'm not understanding how this happened to me. I read so many of the stories on here and I feel the same so nasty but ik I'm not. I had rough sex and usually not all the time but every blue moon it will get swollen I took a bath and washed my lady parts with some new stuff so 2 days later i start feeling funny so I took a mirror and looked down there and lost my marbles I saw white bumps on my vulva so I thought it was from the body wash I went to the emergency I didn't have no pain it was just swollen so when the doctor looked she said it didn't look like herpes bc she didn't see no lesions but they did a culture any way the very next day it started to burn while I pee and I almost died so 2 days after my first visit to the emergency I went back bc I couldn't pee bc of the Burning and they wanted me to wait for my culture and I couldn't. This time my results were back and everything came back negative except for the herpes. I cried so hard bc I was in a relationship and didn't know how I was going to tell him without him thinking I was cheating. The doctor explained to me that you can have it and never know until you have a outbreak. I told my boyfriend and haven't seen or talked to him I told him to get checked out even though we have protected sex almost every time.
After receiving my medicine 3 days after the outbreak my bumps cleared up in 2 days and I feel great the bumps are gone it's just a little scaring but I can pee thank you God lol. The doctors told me this could be my only outbreak and I hope it is. I'm going to get some blood work done to make sure bc I read a few articles where people were misdiagnosed.
I'm still in the emotional stage. I think my relationship is over and if it is oh well bc at least I told him bc I felt that was the right thing to do. I can't let him stress me bc I heard that can cause a outbreak.
I need to figure out how I'm going to live with this I'm a 27 year old woman with a child who wants more kids but yet HSV-2 making me give up on dating and love.

Sorry you are going through this but just know you are not alone. I am having my first outbreak still waiting on test results should get today or tomorrow. I have been going over and over in my head what I will do. Prayer will change things. Just pray and ask God to comfort you. There will be bad days but I'm praying the good days outweigh the bad one. Keep your head up its not the end of the world. That is what I tell myself everyday. Good luck

I'm sorry for you as well, I pray everyday that this is all wrong but deep down ik it's not just hard to wrap my mind around it but ik I'll be OK and so will you. The outbreak is the worst thing felt like fire was coming out but pouring warm water down there while peeing helped a lot, soaking in salt and drying with the blow dryer on low as well. Just a few remedies I picked up use them. Thank you so much for the kind words. Every need to get something off your chest about this feel free to write.
Love Tiff

Sorry you're going through this and that the bf acted the way he did, its also possible that he is the one that gave it to you. Make sure you get a blood test right away since that could offer more insight as well. I'm glad you're reading and doing research...education truly is key and you'll learn that things will be just fine aside from a skin condition that may occasionally cause irritation down there. You can still have more kids and love so don't give up on either!!! Look at the stats in your research and arm yourself with knowledge. Btw if he can't handle a grown up conversation and be supportive during what you may feel like is a dark hour...he's not the one for you anyway!! Best of luck to you.

Thank you, yea I'm thinking the same about the bf but I can't stress over him so I'm going to let him go. I'm trying to be as educated as I can on this bc whenever I get comfortable with myself again and start to date and be active I don't want to give it to no one. I think that's the problem I'm reading something new everyday about this crap I need to give it a break. Thank you so much for the kind words.
