Question:
I started this first outbreak (first that i'm aware of anyway) almost two weeks ago with the first blisters popping up nine days ago. I wasn't feeling funny anywhere but my downstairs until yesterday when I woke up with agonizing leg pain. I still have it today. Is it normal to get the muscle aches after your blisters are already crusting over??? Or am I about to get another OB already?!

Answer:
yeah i got lower back pain and leg aches for the first 6 months after i was diagnosed...

standard stuff marra.

Answer:
Did you have those aches all the time or just before/during/after and OB?

Answer:
i had my one and only ob in april 2007; still have back aches, leg aches, etc. they say the first year is the most difficult.

Answer:
Thanks bluefrog, I was worried that another one was coming on already or something. I was thinking that you were supposed to get the prodrome stuff BEFORE the blisters. But i guess anything goes.....this really sucks! On one hand, if this is what's been wrong with me all these years then GREAT now I can do something about it. But what if I still keep having the same problems PLUS this?! Can't deal...

Answer:
I HAD THE ACHES 24/7 MATE.

im guessing its the virus moving around the nerves...

Answer:
it took me a good three months after my first ob for the 24/7 aches and pains to subside. now, almost five months after, i get occasional aches and pains, mostly right before and the first two days of my period:cry:. I am hoping, as the year goes on, this will subside more also.

Answer:
i dont get them at all now.....


time is a healer. (in my case anyho)
