    Hi Lori

    I understand how desperate you feel.  I feel the same.

    I too am alone, and cannot see a man that would be interested in a woman with this problem.

    How old are you?

    Where do you live?

    Hi lori

    You are not alone.. I am in the middle of a divorce and am almost 58, so you see I have no man in my life either but to be honest I wouldn't want another one, as long as i have family and good friends that's all I need much more loyal, the ladies on here that have good husbands are lucky and I am pleased for them it does not make me bitter one little bit, I have met some lovely lovely ladies on here that I am now friends with, how old are you lori.

      I'm 56 you have a great attitude.I knew i was never going to find love in this life.well now it is only confermed by this stupid l s.there are many things in this world but this?well i'm not afraid to say this,i have had herpies sence i was 14 first time i was ever checked.i have lived with this,and has been much better to deal with,it only took sex out of quation when there was a out break,had children they were all birn c section only because i was to small to have them,not because of the herpies.i delt with this all my life and excepted it.but this l s is truely the worst of the worst,so totally unfair.you probably have been loved in life,i have never had love in my life before.i just never will now.thanks alot l s

    Hi Lori

    sorry your feeling so down. I do have a husband and felt a bit like you as in only 4o but as soon as I used the steroid cream I went back quite normalish. I can tell as my bits seem to ip of shrunk in a bit ( cliterous) but to the untrained eye I doubt anyone would notice . Maybe you have a worse case but with the right creams you should be able to still have sex ... Stay strong x

    At first I thought my world caved in, but it didn't.  After a period of grieving over my loss, going through this deep valley emotionally, I eventually learned to live with this debilitating disease. And you will too.  

    Maybe it helps to focus on the simple fact that it is possible to live a full life once you have all under control.

    Lori I am on anti depressants because of this and they have helped me a lot to relax before taking them I was a nervous wreck but also going through my divorce hasn't helped me I think because of this my husband started cheating and he led a double life for a few years, so you see many of us have problems, I noticed I started with mine after an abnormal smear test

      Thankyou Sandra

      Yes it did but just keep telling myself what a cruel heartless man he was can't wait for my divorce to be settled.

      Hi lori

      I really know how you feel and sometimes I miss the company of a man, but definitely not the sex...infact this disease stops you wanting sex, like you said.. I don't think many men would be content to just snuggle up on the sofa... Have you ever had a problem with cervical smear test and abnormal cells and does this disease affect your mouth any burning with spivey foods Xx

      Karen, burning in your mouth with spicey foods tells you that you might have Lichen Planus in your mouth.  For that reason I stopped eating spicey foods, as much as I liked it, too bad.  I also stopped using toothpaste and use a bit of baking soda instead.  And I rinse my mouth with coconut oil so now and then. (don't swallow)  It all has helped and jsut recently got a positive note from my dentist on how well all looked.
