Pain relief for herpes

Hey Girl!

Yeah the doc told me not to use anything on them except the antibiotic cream the first doctor gave me (I was misdiagnosed with ingrown hairs)

Its not the worst pain I've every had but its consistant and stinging/ burning. Since I went a week and a half without meds the lumps are huge, about a half inch each. 

Anywho my doc told me not to put anything like emla or vagisal on it incase it makes it worse... so Im nervous about putting stuff on it. But Im going to buy epsom salts and try that tonight (if i dont pass out first. Im unsually exhausted - is that normal??)

When were you disgnosed?

I was diagnosed 8/9/16. I will never forget that date. I worst day of my life. I heard a lot of people say it makes u tired but I was not. Do u know what your levels was. Mines was 13.60. I'm told the higher the level the longer u had it but I'm still in the dark.

I was diagnosed on 7/30/16 and felt the same way, do you get that number from only a blood test bc when they told me from my swab test they were so nonchalant like yea you got HSV 2 it's normal you will be OK...like really wtf.

that Destin cream, would probably burn ,since it's guided towards rashes. I wouldn't recommend it also because of the toxin chemical talc. During the first breakout I tried Vaseline to create a barrier for when I used the bathroom, because it burned.

During the first breakout I tried Vaseline to create a barrier for when I used the bathroom, because it burned. I got minimal relief, but if you can get the cream to numb the area or the cream that's in pill form. That should help

I hate that the news was broken to you like that. I read that 90% of people who has it don't know, but if you know didn't have it before , it's not the norm for you , so I wish they didn't make it seem like "herpes is the new black" smh

Yea they didn't really care....but he also told me I could've been had it and just now having a outbreak bc I'm still lost on all of this bc my now ex boyfriend and I use condoms all the time and had unprotected sex 2 but so long ago. He dumped me but never told me his results that's if he ever went smh. I was hurt but I felt letting him know was the right thing to do and I thought by us being in love he would be more understanding but naw it wasn't real. Now I'm thinking I got it from him bc even without an outbreak you can still spread it but he's the only person I've had sex with in the last 30 days and it said you have the outbreak 2-20 days after being exposed. Idk but I'm not going to worry myself about bc I think even if he has it he's not going to admit it.

Well your outbreak is probabaly worse than Mine. Didn't try ice but I heard it works

I thought you couldn't put anything on it. My outbreak wasn't that it was only painful when I went to the bathroom but after I was fine. I just held my pee forever bc it felt like fire was coming out.
