I'm so confused

How will I know the medicine is actually working then? 

I don't know if anyone else has this problem but I can't wear my underwear without a pad because where I have a sore my underwear gets stuck to it and I have to rip it off causing me so much pain  is that it's opened it hurts to pee again 

Ugh I just want to feel normal again

I found the medication absolutely useless for my initial outbreak 

But it helps for me now to stop me having outbreaks, I was getting them every 2 weeks and now I've had my first one after a month so it's good!!

I had to wear a pad, the first outbreak is absolutely evil seriously 

It will never be like that again

I didn't feel back to normal until like a month 

The depression that comes with it lasted the same 

I'm alright now, sometimes it still gets me down 

Mine stung when I peed but only a little bit

I have never had another outbreak like my first I just get one spot every now and then haha 

You'll be okay it really does suck 

I just can't help but feel depressed. 

Doesn't help my boyfriend who accepted it at first is now basically avoiding me. So that adds more stress now. 

I'm on my 9th day so far. 

Sometimes I feel like giving up. No one will want me nor look at me the same way once I say I have herpes. 

I'm really just hating life at the moment.

No I'm on Valacyclovir which I take 1 pill every 12 hours. I'm definitely going to talk to the doctor and see what she says. The sores are no longer extremely painful they are tolerable now until I feel like they are trying to heel and my underwear get stuck to them. 

it's okay! my doctor is honeslty amazing with all the advise he gave me! the doctor that swobed me and told me the results told me to wait until i have an outbreak next because there was nothing i could do. i was in shock that i couldn't fix the sores now so i saw my family doctor and he said get on the straight away as soon as you notice a breakout take 3 a day for 10 days even if it's healed before the 10th day just to make sure!

I'm terrified to go to my family doctor. I went to another doctor where they swabbed my sores. I just want them gone already I had my first outbreak Friday the 28th and got tested the 31st. Ugh I know I've read and people have seen the first initial outbreak is the longest and the worst! 

honestly don't be scared they are only there to help you! 

i only had 2 small sores and that was my first outbreak. which apparently that's strange to have such little and small amount on the first outbreak. all i can say i got rid of my first outbreak in 6 days of taking valtrex for 3 times a day, i do hope that gives you some hope to try valtrex and even if your doctor says don't take it for 10 days or 3 a day (because the packet doesn't recommend it) do it !! my doctor said to do it and after seeing the results i'll do it everytime i have an outbreak. 

i have also been taking a vitamin as well called Lysine 1000+ which as per those instructions you should take:

1 daily for prevention of an outbreak

1 tablet 3 times a day during an outbreak

these are usually for a cold sore but HSV2 is technically a cold sore just an different strand of it. so if you can get your hands on those too give them a try. 

it's all worked for me xx

I wish I only had two sores, I have like three little ones in one spot another one further in my inner labia and on towards the bottom of my vagina. But the two bigger don't hurt it's the little ones because that's what keeps sticking to my underwear as if you cut yourself and it's trying to heel and sticks to your underwear. 

The pocket doesn't recommend it? 

oh okay, yeah i would defiantly suggest valtrex, 

the packet doesn't recommend it 

my persription from the first doctor said take 2 a day for 3 days. my family doctor said taking it for that short period and it's your first outbreak it won't clear up fast so take it 3 times a day for 10 days every outbreak to get more of my valtrex in your system to prevent spreading and help healing faster. 

Oh okay I understand now. I know my doctor won't judge me but she's been my doctor since I'm 17 I'm 25 now. I just feel embarassed havinf to tell someone this. 

Maybe since it's only been three days since I got my results. My only way of not stressing about it is to not think about it right now till I have to pee. The worst part was I found out during work. 

i'm 22 and my doctor has known me since birth and honestly he was so supportive! you might be surprised by what they say and how they react! 

yeah i wouldn't let the doctor call me to tell me the results i wanted to be told in person but she may as well called me and told me because she gave me crap all information which made it even worse for me to cope which is why i saw my family doctor asap! 

i strongly suggest getting onto valtrex itlll change your life hahah xx 

I'll definitely be looking into Valtrex and seeing of my doctor can get it for me. 

Thank you xx

people say there is side affects but i have had none what so ever so don't look too much into it haha, good luck xx
