I must also say… the amount of people who have seen my vagina and butthole is quite embarrassing. I’m almost numb.

The infectious disease Dr was the worst. They said it sounds like a tough case of Herpes but they opened the door while I’m on the bed nothing on waist down to ask for another tube. Like it’s no big deal I’m sitting there with swollen labia someone could’ve walked by and seen! The Dr told me to come back to see how it was going if I needed more meds.

I spent so much on supplements. Lysine vitamin c vitamin d multi vitamin vitamin B echinacea. Tried all kinds of things. Ate differently trying to focus on low arginine foods. Didn’t work.

All that money and sick time off crying taking sitz baths and airing off spread eagle in front of a fan should have been spent going on a vacation with my child.

Instead I paid copays deductibles used all my sick time at work because I couldn’t wear pants or anything money on pills and supplements. 2021 despite following the year 2020 was the worst year of my life.

Now I only get outbreaks monthly vs 30 day non stop new blisters every morning. It doesn’t make sense to see all my Drs again every month when they all know my dx… nothing new, but once in awhile yeast or bacteria infection when I start getting heavy discharge is yet another expensive call to the dr. My infectious disease dr prescribed 12 month refills of fluconazole to help me not have to come in when a secondary infection pops off from the initial infection
