can anyone relate to these symptoms & share treatment success?

I was diagnosed with HSV1 & 2, three months ago. I initially thought I had a yeast infection. My husband of 5 years gets cold sores, I caught it from him, amazing it took so long. The 1st outbreak was so bad, painful & lasted 4 weeks. I took Valtrex 2 mg/day and used creams & H-Balm. It went away but now for the last 4 weeks I've had tingling and itching over a wider area that is driving me nuts. I don't know if it's prodrome? Or if I'm only just containing an outbreak? Or is this typical? I'm also taking Lysine & vit C. I find the H-balm helps temporarily, I pour the stuff on constantly but it wears off. Avbreve Cream doesn't seem to do anything. Any suggestions? I've found it very hard emotionally too. The social stigma is the worst. I dread anyone finding out & hate when I have to fill in forms advising what medication and conditions I have. I've also not been interested in sex at all and have hateful feelings toward my husband even though it's not his fault. I thank god we already have two great kids - which now I feel I can't kiss on the lips or share a spoon/drink.
