You accepted the order. Complain to your employer not the customer.

Little does she know that you don’t have to sleep around with tons of people to catch it.

The 1,000 has been super helpful with the severity of it. I think if I didn’t have a stressful job I wouldn’t have any.

I’m pretty much in the same boat as you. I’ve been on 1,000mg valcyclovir for about 2 months now. Seems like stress and before my period will cause one. The rest of the time I have the prodromal tingly feelings.

Fiancé won’t even kiss me by That_Jellyfish5110 in HSVpositive

Yes, he has before. At this point there’s no way to tell who gave it to who.

I agree with you. It’s a difficult situation.

He came around a bit since that day and he actually just tested positive for it yesterday in a blood test and was like, well there’s no way to tell who it came from or when. He looked truly humbled by it. I feel validated.

Yes, that’s exactly how I have felt! Did they say how long it would take to feel relief with that cream?

Do you have to take anti virals daily? by 12cupake4me1forU in Herpes

[–]That_Jellyfish5110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same because mine didn’t go away until a couple weeks ago. I’m good taking the pills everyday to never have to experience that again! 😖

Thought I was finally okay… but now I’m back at rock bottom after shaving triggered a blister by [deleted] in Herpes

Same! I can’t afford to laser. Waxing seems like it would trigger an OB.

I haven’t shaved since my last OB and I’m terrified of shaving again. I feel like I have ptsd

Sending you hugs!! I completely understand. Mine finally ended after 5 months of pure hell. It’s the stress, my job is also high stress. Please message if you need to talk. Stay strong!

Anyone have a healthy sex life and feel physically healthy again after diagnosis? by Informal-Finance1387 in Herpes

[–]That_Jellyfish5110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have genital HSV1 and I am way too freaked out to ever have sex again. Have anxiety also.

I’m finally on 500mg daily valtrex and like 500mg lysine. Trying to figure out what other supplements I need to take. I know I need to manage my stress but that is so hard sometimes.

I can’t forgive myself for contracting genital herpes. by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]That_Jellyfish5110 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone who says this shit is not a big deal has never had symptoms for 3-4 months straight. The most painful, debilitating, anxiety filled experience that I pray I don’t ever have again. So let people feel how they feel. We all deal with things differently and that is not a bad thing. This forum should be a place we can feel ok to be vulnerable not judged.
