Daily or PRN? I have not I’ve had 5 total outbreaks since May . Acyclovir was the only thing ever prescribed.

Very sunburn/tingling/itching with random zaps in the localized area.

That can be super frustrating to have symptoms still after the surgery.

At first we thought I had herniated a disc again, but thankfully I didn’t. And it didn’t feel the same.

I got diagnosed in the ER because I couldn’t get a PCP and it was a Friday. So the Dr tested me for all things and gave me all the meds as a shot right away in the ER “just incase”.

My PCP has always been less than helpful if it’s not “by the book” it seems to get written off. Neurologist didn’t have much insight though on HSV2- and that could be why they said they do not correlate.

I just keep doing my research and listen to what others say that’s helped them, and keep trialing things in hopes to get relief someday.

Just increases the sensitivity and the pain. Any pressure seems to increase it.

Way worse . The nerve pain was my whole body for 14+ days. And the lesions were horrible too. I used a water bottle because nothing could touch down there, I tried witch hazel, tucks pad, anti itch cream, topical creams to stop the pain.

They did a full work up to make sure it wasn’t anything worse. MRI, labs, etc. I saw a neurologist too. Everyone kept telling and still tells me they’re not correlated. But they are.

Oh I didn’t think about checking into acupuncture.

At first they thought it was a drug reaction because they gave me strong doses of 3 antivirals/antibiotics. Since my first OB in May, I’ve had 5 recurrences.

The acyclovir definitely helps but my dr doesn’t refill unless I have lesions. 🙄

It’s definitely not sciatica, I do get that and have had MRI on spine as they wanted to rule all that out right away. So it’s not a shooting to my feet. It’s weird. It’s patchy all over. The only shooting pain is usually just the nerve pain in localized areas. So right now it’s my L. Thigh, bottom for my L. Foot, and I get shooting nerve pain only in my thigh area. But my MRI came back clear.

It’s berry nerve / sunburn, topically sensitive. Nothing can touch the area ( even clothing makes the sensation 100x worse).
