Potential Herpes Very Depressed

Posted , 2 users are following.

It all started off with irritation on my anus after I had diarrhea two times in a week and thought maybe my anus was irritated.... While being in the shower I discovered bumps and of course to google I go. Google said herpes so I couldn't sleep and found a GYN clinic that does 24/7 check-ups. So I went at 3 am to have for checkup and I came out with a prescription for herpes... My lab results will be back in 2 days but I'm still in disbelief thats what the test was submitted for. So I went to another clinic that told me the same and now I'm super depressed... Does this look like herpes? Someone please help! Its on the left side, it burns a little, and I have to avoid at all cost to bot get pee near it or it'll burn.

    lola,

    i have just recently have been diagnosed as well. like you i could not believe this was happening to me. (long story-assault) i am still waiting on my culture but my blood test was .54. while that is normally a negative result, due to the symptoms i am trying to accept my fate. i am now 8 days into my first outbreak and i think i am on the upswing of it. my sores are nearly healed but lots of nerve pain still.. if had any advice its take the meds. im taking 3000mg of l-lysine and alternating coconut oil and lidocaine cream to help pain of sores.

    juat cling to the things that make you, you..im sorry i dont have more to offer you.. just know im right there with you.
