it started about a 2 weeks ago when i started to feel a sick. i was tired, sinus pressure, etc and i thought i just had a sinus infection. then i noticed 2 pimples on each of my inner thighs. these pimples would rub together and cause pain so i put bandaids over them with some neosporin. i started to get nauseous and fevers and the pimples burst. since that happened i felt small blisters appear on my labias they were tender and i did research and went to get bloodwork as they were getting worse day by day. while i was waiting for the bloodwork, the blisters started to spread to my but and multiply in my other region. they then opened and ive never been in so much pain in my life. it was taking way too long for the blood tests to come back so i went to the doctor and they said it visually looks like herpes and took a swab. she prescribed me antivirals (which ive been on for almost 3 days now). i cant move, walk, go to the bathroom... im in so much pain and agony its nothing ive ever experienced before. i havent peed in 3 days because of the horror and pain it brings with it. i wake up with puddles of yellow ozzing coming from the ulcers. the herpes continues to spread down my legs to my back and my stomach. has anyone seen or heard of herpes this bad? ive been contemplating the er several times due to the need of pain management but when will this go away. i need help so bad its unbearable.imageimageimage

    I know youre probably having a hard time right now but this is the WORSE I have ever seen it. I recommend running water over your private area as you pee so it wont hurt as much or even pee while showering or in the bath. I also heard diluted tea tree oil helps with the sores im sorry youre going through this. Did they test go syphilis and etc

    I'm so sorry you are going through this. I've never seen such a bad case... I wonder if it's not Shingles/herpes Zoster because of the intensity and the spreading to other part of your body. I hope you get your results soon because if it is, there are additional options for the pain. This would mean it's not an STD. Hang in there love.

    oh no this is the worst outbreak i've ever seen 😦 i'm so sorry you're going through this. the good news is that the first outbreak is the worst, and the severity gets less and less after each time. i can't wait for your outbreak to heal that looks so painful.
