      Yes i still went to work. Unless your in a line of work where sexual contact is involved it isnt anyone's business. My initial outbreak was awful, everytime i moved it hurt and i seen online that tea tree oil helped so i tried it and it made the pain go away instantly i had to reapply it often but it was definitely worth it

    I couldn't imagine as I had severe neuropathy w mine primary ob. It was terrible.. I work from home and still took five days off and couldn't even sit up.

    Rub Vaseline on the sores.. It will help w the pain by easing the friction. Put a lot on so they have like a protection coat. It helped w my pain.

      I take valtrex daily. 500mlgs. What I'm saying is, I have breakouts at least once a month even on it. But they are so mild and don't even cause me pain. Due to being sick, I haven't gone out drinking in over two weeks and am wondering if this is the reason for not having a book, especially being on my period AND, it is the longest I've gone not having any type of sensation in days. Hope this is a good sign and becomes the norm

      No Shocker... I ended up breaking out on the inside again. I would really like to know if this is from my period or from the friction of tampons... If that's the case, then I'm gonna be scr*wed when it comes to trying to have a sexual relationship sad

      Hi - I know this is an old post but wanted to ask you if you are better now that time has passed? I also get lesions on the inside. They are so painful and burn😖 Have you found anything to put up there for relief? Hope you are doing better.
