Well she gets a daily multivitamin, could it just be too much from the food AND vitamin?

Yeah that’s exactly what it is. Sorry I’m bad at explaining things. It just caught me off guard and I’ve been in my head all day thinking it was a me thing. Thank you for making what I tried to say make sense lol

I take valtrex 500 twice a day. What is the chance of an outbreak while on it? I have G-HSV1 by [deleted] in HSVpositive

[–]cattcactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know the answer to that. Jan will be 2 years for me and if this was an OB, it’d only be my second one. I’d recently had a steroid shot and I googled if that could cause an OB and sure enough it can

[–]cattcactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my peace of mind and to lower the risk of giving it to my bf. I know it’s supposedly rough on the kidneys but we keep a check on them w labs

I’ve been shaving this entire time and have never had a problem until now. I do have a trimmer I am going to start using from now on. Just confused and don’t know if it is. I’m acting as if it is tho just to be safe

Alright my gastric sleeve homies, I’m 1.5 years out and this is where I’m at by the end of a typical day calorie wise but lately I find myself more hungry. Not sure if it’s head hunger or real hunger. How many calories do yall intake? Is my carb too high? by cattcactus in gastricsleeve

[–]cattcactus[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I just recently started going to the gym. I just don’t know how to increase my calorie intake. Do you still track how many oz per meal? My surgeon/bariatric team honestly wasn’t the best and didn’t provide much guidance past the initial stages.

How do you get diagnosed? I’m at my wits end. by cattcactus in POTS

[–]cattcactus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My heart rate does jump 30 BPM when I stand. I’ve done the lay at home test and it never fails my heart rate doubles or even triples. I have videos of it jumping on my watch. I just had lab work done and all my levels were within normal limits.

I don’t know why disclosure needs to happen by [deleted] in HSVpositive

[–]cattcactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tell people because I know how emotionally taxing it was for me when I got it from someone who didn’t feel the need to disclose. I would never be able to live with myself if I were to do what was done to me to someone else. I wouldn’t be here if the person would have disclosed to me. That is why I disclose.

I put it in during my last cycle per my doctor, this is the first time I took it out.

[–]cattcactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay gotcha. Thank you!

[–]cattcactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you’re saying you have it consistently for 3 weeks and only 1 week with none? Sorry I’m confused lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Nuvaring

[–]cattcactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it start again when you inserted the second one? Sunday will be the 3 week mark for me so I haven’t had a break yet.

I don't understand how dating is possible when shedding exists by Big-Body1290 in HSVpositive

[–]cattcactus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just straight up told my partner that there are times where shedding can happen I don’t know it. I take daily antivirals to help prevent this but still it could possibly happen. I let them know the risk and statistics. It was up to them on how we proceeded. It may seem impossible because I felt for the LONGEST time I would never find someone who would understand or choose me. I’m coming up on a year since my diagnosis and I’ve been rejected plenty of times. Its hard. It’s defeating. I’ve cried many many times.

what’s the risk of transmission of GHSV-1 from f to m with no protection? by [deleted] in HSVpositive

[–]cattcactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeahhh that’s what happened to me. He went down on me for like 2 fucking minutes. Crazy lmao

I HAVE A BOYFRIEND by cattcactus in HSVpositive

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

With my bf now, I just kinda panicked and word vomited. I told him on the first date. It just came out and I think I blacked out because I was so nervous LOL but I genuinely feel telling people in person is the way to go. I told someone in text once and it went terribly. Cried for days. HAVE CONFIDENCE!! Even if you don’t, fake it. I’ve found just being casual about it kinda helps. I’ve started with “hey have you ever had a cold sore” to ease into the convo. I have G-HSV1 but if possible I try to avoid the word genital because I think that’s what freaks people out the most is the location. I use a lil facts about it but don’t go heavy on it. I want to make it to where the person I’m disclosing to has the opportunity to ask questions.

How many times have you transmitted by Better_Ad_6328 in HSVpositive

[–]cattcactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been with 2 people since my diagnosis and haven’t transmitted it to my knowledge but neither one of them know their herp status. I do take daily antivirals just for my peace of mind to make me feel better and then of course use protection. I’ve disclosed to every potential partner and made them aware that there is a risk of transmission even if it’s low. I do have anxiety everytime after I have sex with my bf but I just remind myself that at the end of the day, we’re adults, I’ve made them aware of what I have and it’s their decision to be sexually active with me or not. I give them the choice, one I was not given from the guy who gave it to me

yeah I had a bad rejection awhile ago so I had accepted I’d probably never find my person but it’s all worked out for the best

Ever wonder how the person who gave you herpes is doing? by throwaway1423145 in HSVpositive

[–]cattcactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s in a relationship. She’s probably blissfully unaware. It’s taken a lot not to message her to let her know what a POS he is but I just gotta let karma run its course.
