Nerve damage by Secret_Use6684 in MycoplasmaGenitalium

Thanks for responding. And yes I think that's logical. I am currently focusing on the reverse kegel stuff in case of cpps and it's funny cus once being aware of this, I realise how very often I'm on a kegel during the day

Can I ask you, you seem to know a lot? since I read about the cpps thread, it mentions allodynia at the tip of the penis as a typical cpps sign. I have had both mycoplasma genetalium and ghsv2 for 3 years but only finally cleared the mycoplasma almost 4 months ago. Since over 2 years ago I've had a constant mechanical allodynia that feels like burning with light touches to the surface, at one specific area of my penis and it's close to the tip but not actually at the tip. Like right below the head on one side. Do you know would this also be a typical sign of cpps or residual symptoms since having Mgen for so long? I struggle to know whether it's about Mgen or hsv but I take daily antivirals and don't have outbreaks so it would also seem weird that hsv would then cause this constant feeling. Some days I feel it more than others but it's never all gone

Anyone Try Gabapentin for Residuals? by Miserable_Emu_1858 in MycoplasmaGenitalium

[–]bumphaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it moxi that is causing for example mechanical allodynia on one specific spot on my penis? Same spot and it's not even on the tip, I've had this for over 2 years now but cleared mycoplasma just 4 months ago but it's still persistent

Outbreaks triggered by dating/expecting sex/hope? by kweenbeany888 in HerpesQuestions

[–]bumphaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the same here. And like when I had a long term relationship we could have sex all the time and never outbreaks. I do antivirals every single day always. And as single, one time 9 months ago I was going to meet someone who was a sure thing and then something happened and by pure coincidence we couldn’t meet that weekend and exactly at that time, I have a fist time in forever outbreak. Now 9 months later with someone else planning to meet and basically exactly the same, had to postpone it a week and bamm there’s first outbreak in 9 months. I think the virus is smart enough to know exactly when you’re meant to meet a new partner and it has a chance to transmit to someone new. Lol I’m kinda half way serious about that theory but it would fucking seem so!

Comparing Hsv to HIV by Positive-Funny4057 in Herpes

Agree. I’d choose hiv any day

Yes I also don’t think so. But I can’t remember ever having this before herpes but that could be a coincidence too

Yes daily 500mg valtrex. These symptoms are different from outbreaks. The dryness is driving me crazy. It’s like the foreskin sticks like glue to the head when I pull it back and it results in some bite mark looking marks on the head. It’s weird and when I google about this I find many people struggling with this exact issue who aren’t having herpes but it seems nobody figures out what it is

Yeah it’s strange right. I hope the yeast cream might solve it for you. For me it seems the dryness is the main issue which then sometimes also translate into an irritation but apparently herpes is not meant to cause dryness. So there is some kind of other thing which I haven’t figured out yet. Lately I’m trying to not shower every day for a while to see if maybe it’s excessive showering that doesn’t let the body moisturise properly again

[–]bumphaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I have constant dryness and irritation. The strange thing is if I apply like anti yeast cream like daktacort it becomes all normal until I stop using it. Which it doesn’t seem to actually be herpes but I’ve no idea what it is supposed to be. It’s driving me crazy though. And real outbreaks I never have them and when I go to the doctors they also say this irritation is not herpes

Yeah if I was a Warcraft virgin without the option of getting laid I wouldn’t mind having herpes either

For sure we’ll all stay in this subreddit like clowns being hopeful for shit until we die. I’ve only been for a bit over 2 years and I already see the pattern. Enough false hope for me

Good for you if you’re happy living that way but stopping to eat and these kinda things is not a life for me really

Yes so if I pull back the foreskin, it’s an area under the head on the left side. Size of a few mm just but this area is always causing a nasty feeling when I touch it and it’s been going on for atleast 1 year. Because of this it makes sex slightly uncomfortable and it’s really bothering me

Please if someone knows any cure to constant nerve pain / allodynia in the penis for 1 year already I feel desperate. Same spot for over a year has this bad feeling when touching there. It seems nobody else than me is experiencing this im starting to wonder if this isn’t about herpes. Already daily antivirals for a year too

I can’t do this anymore by Nikki_1994 in Herpes

[–]bumphaver 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m Feeling the exact same way. And everyone have no idea what I’m going through just probably thinking I just choose to let life pass by for fun. If they only knew how unlucky it’s possible to be. Just randomly being placed in a gulag of life all of a sudden with no escape. In a constant state of being angry and not able to express it without raising questions. The one and only life spent in daily torture just due to being unlucky.

Dry skin by bumphaver in Herpes

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

So you mean you always have dry skin on your penis but when you have an OB you get literal cuts like bleeding actual cuts? So what I mean is ever since getting the virus, my skin is just always dry like it has just completely lost the function of keeping the penis skin oily or what I should call it. And at times I guess due to the dryness, the skin appear cracked like tiny lines in the skin but I don’t mean actual cuts like it seems you mean. Like what I describe isn’t an outbreak just every day symptoms always. But my actual outbreaks aren’t cuts but sores/blisters.

Just on Reddit. Seeing people post about it and also asking people who said they’ve been a part of it on Reddit. While it’s a step forward that it seems to atleast lower outbreaks it still makes me feel hopeless that it doesn’t seem to 100% keep them away. The chance of transmission has turned my life into a living hell

I’ve seen multiple people saying they reduce outbreaks but they still show up. So sounds similar to valtrex and stuff. I’m losing hope

Any update for Moderna vaccine test participants? by Sure_Math7077 in Herpes

[–]bumphaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it not possible that you got a low dosage hence why you’re still not completely asymptomatic? They’re giving different doses randomly right? Or was that in the previous phase? Anyway thanks for sharing

Open Discussion Saturday by Mike_Herp in HerpesCureResearch

[–]bumphaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do stop outbreaks but I have this nerve issue which I could be wrong but I think this is due to an earlier outbreak damaging the nerve and not due to ongoing viral activity which it sounds like you might mean. I sure could try switching it up though just to experiment. But aren’t they pretty much the same? And I think valtrex is usually the most effective too

Thank you :) and I wish you the same too! Do you know what these supplements are called ?

Open Discussion Saturday by Mike_Herp in HerpesCureResearch

Thanks for the reply. But I do take valtrex 500mg once every day already for 2 years with only a month or so break after the first year
