    A week until the pain calmed down significantly (with valtrex) then everyday it got better. My symptoms were the sores, swollen lymph nodes, burning when I pee (days into outbreak). It was hard to walk, sit, pee, poop. HORRIBLE. Also my appetite had decreased.

    it was very painful to pee. I hated using the rest room. It just came out of nowhere. I thought it was a rash, and I had blisters right under my butt cheek area for 2 weeks before going to the doctor

    Burning pee, handful of lesions that didn't hurt too much, minor itching, slightly swollen/tender lymph node in groin. First week "worst" due to the burning pee business, much improved in the second week, everything normal (itching gone, no lesions) by the third. Fyi, I have Type 2.
