I was recently diagnosed with herpes. I am in the middle of an outbreak right now and at the moment I find it unbearable. The medicated cream my doctor gave me actually hurts worse than the sores themselves, and it's next to impossible to pee! Is there any way to soothe the sores, or to protect them from other "elements". I was put on valtrex yesterday and, while I don't expect a miracle, can anyone tell me how long it takes to start showing signs of improvment....anything actually at this point would be of interest to me. I'm not hungry, I avoid drinking anything and I'm constantly tired.

63 years old. Other than sexual contact, how is the virus transmitted?
