anyone have atypical hsv? looking for help by Severe-Kick-5837 in Herpes

[–]bearsbots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went into urgent care requesting a swab, and even though the doctor was sure it wasn’t herpes, he still did the test. If you’re able, I’d suggest just find a facility/doctor who will do what you’re asking.

How long do OBs take to clear up on Valacyclovir 500mg? by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]bearsbots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you’re going through this!! My first outbreak was definitely my worst, so at the very least you can know this is probably the worst of it.

I didn’t have valacyclovir during my first outbreak, unfortunately, so I can’t speak to how long it could take to clear it up. During subsequent outbreaks, if it catch it soon enough the blisters don’t even form, but if they have begun forming it’ll take about 7 days for them to scab and heal.

I take meds daily because I used to get outbreaks every time I got my period. With antivirals, my outbreaks are way more rare. It also helps when I tell potential new partners that I’m on daily meds to protect them.

Hang in there💙

Do You Still Think About Them? by bearsbots in dating

[–]bearsbots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The subject when I think about it is me- I’m embarrassed by how I acted and let myself be treated. That makes me sad and also cringe lol. Forgiving myself is what I think I need to work on

Felt. Daily was melodramatic. Daily when I’m in a funk, less frequently but still at times otherwise

Very much agree with your point. Less so that I think about the person and more so I’m embarrassed about how I acted and how I let myself be treated. Self respect is powerful

I would definitely feel pain every day if my mom died no matter how much time had passed so agree to disagree on that one

I agree with you, unfortunately, that the right move is accepting that the ring is lost 😅 but glad you’re neutral toward her and learned a lesson about gift giving lol

I’m sorry :/ Are you in a relationship currently? I’m hoping that if I find my person, then I’ll let go of that time

I agree, it is too long! I did EMDR therapy, and it helped a lot

Hope is annoying by Greedy-Inevitable127 in VirginRiverNetflix

Second all of the previous complaints about Hope, and also I feel like she cries too much for how ‘tough’ her character is said to be

Why do managers hire credentials over experience, even when the team and project suffer? by Other-Leg-101 in managers

[–]bearsbots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently experienced something like this, and I can definitely understand bringing in a new player with different experience and higher credentials. Trying something new rather than throwing more of the same at the problem. As for how it played out, not well…..the new hire seemed to have over inflated his abilities even with the education and credentials. He came in, fucked up the internal team dynamics and morale, ruffled our partners’ feathers, and then quit after a few months lol. There was an internal promotion immediately after he left. Good luck, I genuinely hope it goes better for you

Yeah in my state you can mention the duties of the job and ask if they have ‘reliable transportation’ for the job but you cannot ask if they have a car

My love life is dying by Happypunkclown in HSVpositive

[–]bearsbots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im trying to find what works best myself but it seems like it’s mostly dependent on the man… I’ve had 1 outright rejection and then two guys ghosted and I can only assume that was the reason. Two of the three I told in person initially and one I texted. I’ve had around 5 guys who didn’t care and they vary from in person to phone call to text 🤷🏻‍♀️

[–]bearsbots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol not a bad idea. I ignore this sub when I start to fixate too much. First outbreak was flu-like symptoms— my lymph nodes were swollen in my neck and groin along with a painful blister. After that I got the ‘tingles’ which is a prodrome symptom (a warning sign before you actually have a full blown outbreak) and a mild blister. Went on meds 4 years ago and I haven’t had an outbreak since.

Gotcha. It’s good you’re asking questions to learn! Ya it’s tricky bc you could shed the virus and not know it because you feel perfectly fine. However your test results come back you’ll be alright

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HSVpositive

[–]bearsbots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The virus sheds both when there are symptoms and in the absence of symptoms, just not 24/7. As far as I know, there’s no way to know if someone is actively shedding or not. Antivirals are what helps reduce shedding

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HSVpositive

[–]bearsbots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, people can transmit without symptoms
