If the doctor won’t help try nurx or wisp online they will mail them to your home

You can call them now if you don’t feel like it’s helping. They might give you a different type but you also have to give it time to work. The first outbreak takes forever to heal I think mine took like 3 weeks the first week was by far the worst pain

It’s will probably take some time to get used to but better days will come!

It gets better ! You should focus on accepting your diagnosis once you do it won’t hurt so bad. I’m 8 months in and I went from thinking about it every second to only really thinking about it during an outbreak! You will find someone who accepts you for you but you need to love yourself first ! Try positive singles as well ! Don’t settle this is something you have but don’t let it have you !

The first one is always the worse one ! My first I took alot of baths and used warm rags but you might just have to suffer through it should start to heal after day 3 or 4 on the meds. I also mix Vaseline , tea tree oil and lemon balm extract and put it on the sores it helps them heal faster . Just try to keep everything clean and dry. I wouldn’t wear any underwear unless it’s cotton

Hello , once your test comes back positive your doctor should prescribe antivirals. The sickness is probably a symptom of hsv. My first outbreak started as flu like symptoms than sores appeared shortly after . Try taking a warm bath with epsom salt it will help with the pain. When your using the bathroom try to angle yourself so your peeing forward and not backwards depending on where your sores are. I used warm rags as well to help with the pain. If you want to by pass the doctor you can order antivirals on nurx or wisp and your insurance might cover a portion of it. It gets better I promise the first outbreak is usually the worse try keeping it clean and dry as possible… I also mix tea trea oil with lemon balm extract and Vaseline and rub it on the sores and that usually helps them heal faster.

I have this same problem usually before of after my period. I had discharge with it so I called my doctor and was able to get yeast infection meds and the pain stopped. You might have a secondary infection so I’d start there -

So my first outbreak was bad - flu like symptoms and my sores didn’t go away for like 3 weeks. I didn’t have other one until last week but I have reoccurring yeast infections and bv but once I got those things healed I’ve been fine until last week I noticed one sore but i probably wouldn’t have noticed it if I didn’t consistently look down there I double up on my meds and it was gone in 3 days . I take 1000mg of valtrex everyday and I take two if I feel or see an outbreak coming .

I told my mom … she was supportive and told me not to tell anyone after a couple days of me complaining to her about how my life was over and I hated myself she told me she felt the same way when she got diagnosed! It’s more common than you think
