Question:
I can't believe I'm on here ranting at 2:30 in the afternoon when I should working. I guess it really hit me today that I have Herpes. I was diagnosed 3 months ago via bloodtest during normal check up. I thought it was neat that they had a blood test to detect herpes, afterall I figured I was clean so what the hell, I have insurance so my doctors can run Bullshit test for things that I dont have any symptoms of. Well imagine my surprise when I got that dreadful phone call. Until now I thought i was taking it like a champ. Afterall, I'm pretty sure I contracted this disease about nine years ago (Was diagnosed back then as just a simple skin irritation) . So those days of intial outbreaks and frequent reoccurnces that occur during the first couple of years are long gone for me. I guess I should be thankful for that. But here is the real kicker. Since I have been diagnosed the psychological aspect of this thing is kicking my butt. I think I am going to have to start taking anti-depressent meds to deal with the fact that I am taking Valtrex. Man I swear I would take another OB in a heart beat in exchange for what my mind is going through right now (no offense to you guys who have severe OB's). It's funny that before I knew I had this disease I thought Herpes was some far off disease that only drastically affected a few wandering souls in the world. Now, since i have been labeled as one of those "wandering souls" I realize this thing is extremely common & virtually has no effect on most peoples everyday life. I just wish that other non-infected or should I say non-diagnosed people would be more educated about this thing. Ok I'm done ranting for now. Maybe I will rave later. I'm just glad i could let off a lil bit of steam.

Answer:
Just curious why you are taking valtrex, it sounds like you don't have any symptoms.
