    I know exactly how you feel. It's a hard thing to deal with in the beginning, but I promise that it gets better! I was diagnosed last July. I was devastated. Over time, it gets easier mentally and emotionally. The worst part is the stigma that comes with it, but what I'm finding out is that most people are accepting of someone with herpes. I just think that we don't give people enough credit sometime! smile

    Herpes is a minor bump in the road, but it isn't so bad. I promise! Each day you will wake up, and think a little less about it. Your life will be fulfilling and wonderful in every way! Feel free to PM me if you need someone to talk to. smile

      Well, I can answer any questions you may have. What are you wanting to know? Once you know about it, I feel like you will see that it's not a big deal. I find most people, including myself, have the hardest time dealing with having to tell future partners. You are fortunate to have someone already that accepts it. smile

      Try soaking in Epsom salt. My first outbreak last about a week and a half and it really wasn't that bad, either. I had about 10 bumps and they didn't even really hurt. It was the painful urination that got me. Also start taking a probiotic and vitamin c. Boost g your immune system helps out.
