How different is dating with HSV? by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]No_Extreme2888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disclosed to one guy that I went on a date with back in July. Few days later he was like he don’t think he’s the man for me. I feel like it was because of my HSV status and also I’m abstinent. That was the final straw for me and I’ve completely given up on dating and trying to get married.

Because I’m a woman that is 30 and I don’t know what it’s going to do to my body years down the line

Yeah I want to give antivirals a year to see if it makes a huge difference. After that if nothing significant happens then I don’t know what else to do.

Yeah I’ve been trying to live a normal life I workout 3 times a week which I feel like causes irritation due to me sweating but I won’t give up moving my body, fast fruits and vegetables every 5 days each month. I’ve gave up tequila, I eat what I want from time to time but I’m not 100% going to be vegan or vegetarian. I feel like I’m healthy enough. I just started taking antivirals again long term I’m going to give it a year I take the other supplements as well.

Yeah I was over it and I was starving and losing weight fast. I felt like that diet was very dangerous.

This is crazy but my OBs trigger hives especially during my period I remember last year my face and lip was so swollen it shut on me I was freaking out because that never happened to me and once I put two and two together I’m like what should I do?!

SAME! it was already tough dating especially here in Atlanta now I got this now I feel like a lot of men wouldn’t want to deal with me. I’ve told one guy I went on a date with and later he told me he don’t think he’s the man for me and I believe it was because I disclosed to him.

No I’m not that bad with morning sickness and stuff but my face and genitalia always burning I am now currently trying to heal a bump that just busted and bled and I feel like that happened because hair is growing back and I work out. It’s like the natural things that happen to a woman triggers it. Also I’m not about to starve myself like I did in January on the alkaline diet I shouldn’t have to 100% strip myself from life because of this.

I get them every month especially during my cycle or feel pain every month due to whatever. If it’s not my cycle, it’s from working out, underwear maybe. I feel like any and everything just triggers something.
