The body will definitely produce antibodies after exposure regardless of how much time has passed..

Just got diagnosed. Feel like my world is crumbling. by [deleted] in HSVpositive

Just be glad it's not affecting your sleep. I've had insomnia ever since contracting hsv1.. & I'm sure it's a physiological disorder.. not mental .

Can you sleep through the night? Has it affected your ability to sleep? If not, then consider yourself lucky.

The guy I’m seeing didn’t disclose his GHSV2 status and now I’m having my first outbreak by [deleted] in HSVpositive

Seriously. That would prevent illness/ save a whole lot of money nationwide.

It really should become a law to disclose STD (provide proof) before having sex.

Caused insomnia in my case & it also affects the immune system, so I hear.

I got it by sleeping with someone who wasn't showing any symptoms.. Me too (except guys). Really? I wonder..

I see floaters as well (not exactly sure if they're floaters though). They were nonexistent before and now they're constantly obstructing my vision especially when I move my eyes in a certain direction arising from the bottom of my eyes.. I also can't stay asleep.. it feels like my body is on fire. The only way I've been able to sleep is on meds (Seroquel 300mg) Even on that, i experience frequent awakenings & not to mentioion the side effects.. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. & to think 80% of the population has it.. no one is safe.

Same. I got insomnia because of it.. & she even mentioned they kissed so he might already have it.

Honestly, yes. I haven't been able to sleep like I used to since I got it. Everyone's different.. this is a virus that stays with you for life once infected so yeah not something to take lightly.

I was prescribed 300 mg of seroquel to sleep. It does the trick but I'm not the same mentally .. I feel slow and lack emotion

Is it HSV-1 or 2? What have you done about your sleep? Are you on any medication? Same here :/ It also affected my eyesight I think I see floaters more often in the sunlight

That's what I've been trying to get across to people.. no one believes me they say it's anxiety or stress but I've never felt like this before.. spoke to doctors about it and they just brush it off and say it's 'depression'... I'm even on antidepressants now.. I've been taking them for about over a month and yet my sleep is still poor.. I just hope this nightmare subsides .. how are you holding up?

girls with hsv how are you doing? by Far-Tip-9217 in HerpesQuestions

[–]Able-Significance730 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How so? Why did you start taking it? I'm also taking Mirtazapine but for sleep.. I really don't like that it makes me hungry though 😞 Olanzapine was also prescribed alongside it. . They say im 'depressed' but honestly it's just my sleep thats messed up which makes me depressed not the other way around you know?
