Question:
so i got this over christmas, felt overall weird but didnt have another outbreak till easter... i noticed bumps on friday/saturday and they would be prodome i guess cuz they were just a little red and i said 'uh oh looks like its time' and knew to expect the worst

so we're now 1 week later, the 3 small bumps on the ridge of my dick head seem like they're starting to die, but yesterday, i notice what seems like a small red dot right at the opening to my dick, so :confused: .. couple days before that i felt like some chafing on my ass, but now days and a million attempts to see what it looks like, looks like another row of 3 bumps, and TODAY, 1 bump under the row of 3... sooooo that sucks...

i was almost on that wishfull thinkin boat where recurrances dont happen to me, and then boom, not only do i get an outbreak, i get multiple..

front AND back.. left ass cheek, right side of dick head ridge, left side of opening.. !!!???!??!

this happen to anyone else? i'm hopin its just this one while my body is still tryin to get used to having this junk.. but i'm really not pumped on the idea that getting a sore will open up the sore-flood-gates...

Answer:
what a major bummer. Did you ever try the l-lysine? I remember you mentioning trying to be stealth about the herpes.

I never have had normal ob's didn't have any at all for 8 or so years just weird itching. Then one tiny but painful one. Two years later I get 3 small blisters get tested and find out it is definitely herpes that I've been experiencing and boom major ob's that keep growing and last for a month plus. It's been almost two months ob free. It's like heaven.

The antivirals really helped me. Controlling stress really helped - going home for Easter would have stressed me out major! I changed my complete diet and started getting serious about vitamins and it's helped so much.

I take the l-lysine in the morning and then some at noon and I think it's a big part of keeping the ob's away. And if you shave your genital area don't until the ob's are gone I think it is what made mine spread so badly.

Answer:
by the way, it hurt when i peed like WHOA during my 1st ob, not really this time, but i been paranoid that any fluid outta there is like toxic waste.. i dunno how real of a threat that is...


what about sweating.. like if my balls sweat (sorry ladies, but its a reality and i've read 'yeast infection' enough times to be allowed ;) ) is that sweat 'herpes sweat'? can it infect other skin?


overall i'd just like to say altho i'm much too great of a person to have herpes ruin my life:

THIS SHIT FUCKING SUCKS

i've had to turn down ridiculous sex, including threesomes, i hate being in bars now, girls make me nervous, i have no appreciation for my physical upkeep half the time, my room is a disgusting mess cuz i just sigh and say 'no one but me will even see it', i feel out of place when people on tv start hooking up or songs say anything sexual, - i - hate - this - so - much -

i keep all my thoughts on this in my head but sometimes they run rampant and its like a madman inside a room tearing pictures off the walls.. i wanna tell random people just to gauge their responses.. a weird compulsion to expose my deepest secret just to see what people think of me naked..
i just wanna know someone else who else this... preferably a female someone else, 19-32 with pretty eyes and a killer smile, an ear for good hiphop, a taste for good chronic, and an onion booty.. so nice it'll bring a tear to your eye as you peel the layers off lol

i remember hearing about this girl i went to high school with who had it, and she was banging... sometimes i think about tryin to track her down and see if she's down for some risk free cuttin hahaha

fuckit.. i'm gonna go take another 3 or 4 lysine pills and a multivitamin and see whats good.. maybe drink this neocitran later.. i dont even feel sick, but this is supposed to mean that my immune system sucks right now right?
cant hurt..

well, that was my herpes outbreak outburst.. i'm gone

Answer:
I know what you mean about watching tv and hearing or seeing any type of sexual things....i feel so uncomfortable and sad and want to turn it off. I was wondering if i was the only person who felt weird like that. Hope things get better for you.

Answer:
Hah, I was in DC yesterday and saw this cute couple on the subway (they were dressed the same) and they were holding hands. I had to look away.. so jealous!

Answer:
i'm all cleared up now...

still wouldnt mind findin a pretty young similarly infected thing to make this easier..


i know i'm not the only person that's horny as whoa these days...

Answer:
Ive had genital herpes type-1 (I got it from oral sex from my bf who has never had a cold sore go figure) for 2 years now and I dont look at sex the same anymore.. Having herpes makes you realize that sex is not just fun that theres a real risk to it and you cant screw around. Who knows maybe having it saved me from possibly being with people I shouldnt! I do feel like im missing out because I cant just be single and date whoever I want that theres this huge barrier or wall blocking it and its called herpes. I do have a bf but I think if we ever broke up that I wouldnt want to deal with the dating scene just for fear or having to tell someone my secret.. then what if they told someone else? Forget that its so not worth it. But then I also look at people or friends and wonder, maybe they have it too and they are also keeping a secret.. but of course you'll never know because no one ever talks about it. There could be so many people out there to date, even the cute guys, that have genital herpes just like me and I dont even know it! Ughh! I even had a chance to hook up with a good girl friend of mine who is bi (hey a girl is curious!) and had to completely avoid the situation because I dont wanna tell her I have herpes and gross her out. (tmi?!) Anyways I wish the stigma would go away and people could just talk about it as much as they talk about herpes on the mouth. Then maybe this all wouldnt be such a big deal! ;)

Answer:
yeah.. i still look at sex the same way except now its like being lactose intolerant.. it doesnt mean ice cream is any less delicous, just means i cant eat it all day.. but whewwww do i want some right now
