sleepless night

Lozza, I totally get what you are saying. I had non-stop symptoms the first 8 months after diagnosis and one of my biggest complaints, was that crawly feeling. It was worse than all the others, because it feels like an insect is living inside of you, which then makes you feel dirty... Irrational as that is, it does.

I had a horrendous ob that resulted in severe neuropathy and constant paresthesia, which is what you are experiencing right now.

Are you on daily meds or no? Everyone gets caught up in worrying about their second ob, but I am here to tell you, it is nothing. You will expect that it will be like your first and it isn't. I've had an ob every month once or twince since having it and it is so minimal, had I not made a habit of looking down there, I'd never known. I can go about my life like it wasn't there. I know easier said than done, but just stop worrying about it. I promise you it won't be like what you think. You'll feel maybe some mild tenderness at most. For some people, myself included, it takes time for your body to adapt to the virus and start feeling normal again. Be patient w yourself sweetie.. Believe in your body, know it needs to heal and also know it is normal to feel the way you do. Being diagnosed is a grieving process w out a doubt. How you feel now will pass, just be patient and know acceptance will come.

I don't know all the details of your diagnosis and about your partner, sounds like he is an asymptomatic carrier to be honest. Any who.. Please advise on the below.

As far symptoms do the following:

-  soak in Epsom salt baths as much as possible.

- wrap a cold pack w paper towels and rest between your legs when you are resting.

- take 800mlgs of motrin every 4hrs

-  if it hurts to pee, sit in a shallow bath and go. If you can't do that, a heavy coating of Vaseline over sores will provide a shield.

In regards to helping stop or slow down or decrease the intensity of the obs, I started a supplement routine, as I used to have two obs a month and 20 symptoms on a daily basis the first 8 mm months.

- 2000mlg daily of Vitamin C & D

- daily zinc and magnesium

- 2x daily multivitamin

- all vitamin Bs, A, K & E. Those are needed for the Bs to work properly for good nerve function and repair.

- a daily live culture probiotic. 70% of pur immune system is in our gut, so we just boost it w proper pH balance.

Taking Empson baths daily upon symptoms, made the difference in an ob lasting a week and a half, vs 2-3days.

Liquor is a huge trigger to me.. Lots of it and out late that is . wine and beer doesn't do it to me. All my recurrents are just one and two bumps at most, so relax. :-)

Hello, I got diagnosed March 9th and i had a really bad out break. it lasted about 2 weeks 1/2 i was taking he meds but took a whil for them to kick in.

i still had grouin pain and was bery sensative down there 2 weeks after i got another out break and it was very mild not much pain. 

i went to the dr she gave me more meds and 4 refill. 

i  had all the symptoms u had, the crawling sensation, the itching, the discomfort. 

but after 1month 1/2 all those symptons calmed down. 

i started taking vitamin c and prenatal pills dr recommended since they have all the minerals and vitamins our body needs'

i decieted to get on supressive thrapy and been on meds for about a month now. 

i have no symptoms, no outbreaks almost back to feelings 100% normal again 

i continue to take my vitamins with the meds im on. 

so hun things will get better i say the first month  1/2 is the worst. 

an i felt like sh*t ad super depressed all i wanted to do is sleep. 

i feel way better now. 

if you continue to have symptoms u should tell your dr and have her put you on meds atleast for 3 months 

also if you have sex make sure to use lub so you wont get friction and wont cause an out break. 

likei said the first 1/2 will be the worst. 

things do get better trust, I was also in your shoes its now 3 months ad i feel better. 

Good luck hun. 

I apologize about you going through this i just found out May 8th so its new to me to my outbreak has cleared and everyday i just pick myself up someone told me dont be herpes positive but be positive about having herpes....luckily your not alone and niether was i which helped alot, its all mental and emotional thing even though i still get sad at times i just do things that make me happy....

I mean think about what has it really changed... you have to take meds everyday (who doesnt) mayb sex might be a little different but it can be fun to its all about you turning it into something positive....i dnt want to give you any medical advice because im sure you have heard enough of that....you need to work on getting out of the funk of life and back into the fun of it😘😍😘❤💓💕💖💞 dnt let this take control of your life you control it

I know exactly how youre feeling hun 

thats how i felt i was really sad and depressed i didnt talk to anyone. 

give it some time. 

at least 1month 1/2 see how things start turing out for youo with your o.b and how u start feeling emotionally 

i thoought about talking to someone too because i felt horrible. 

give it some time. 

things do get better trust \i  know its hard to belive right now but it does.

How are your Out breaks turning ?

have u had any new ones?

 

I am really glad to hear youre doing better 

yes it gets better with time

u get to kinda accept the fact that you have it and its not going anywhere

and just learn to live with it

glad u havent had another o.b niether have i 

and im happy about that 

Glad your bf is being supportive about it, i think the hardest thing is being able to tell your partner but you dont have to worry about that since ur b.f knows.

HAve you been sensative after sex from down there .

i remeber i was when i first got diagnosed and had sex.
