What did I assume you would get from reading this graphic and long rant of my whinings? Well if you're feeling like this, or felt like this at any point, you know there's someone else suffering too. It's like comfort in numbers in a way. You feel better knowing you have someone who knows what you went through. Also, it's an insight for those people who want an uncut look into what a severe (in my opinion anyway...I mean one or two blisters is NOT a first outbreak. The first outbreak is supposed to be the worst outbreak. If it gets any worse than this, I personally couldn't stand it) initial herpes outbreak is like. Or it can serve as a reason to have sex with a condom no matter how much you hate it, cos hey, so the sex isn't all that great, but you can work on that. I know I'd rather do that than get herpes if I could do things over. But as it is, I just want to get over this outbreak now so that I can emerge on the other side, standing straight and walking normally again, with no pain and excruciating bathroom experiences.
I hope this does help some of you out there in whatever way it can. Thanks for bearing with this post to the end.
I also hope that if you have herpes, you do learn to take it in stride and roll with it. I'm gonna do the best I can to do just that. Hopefully I'll keep coming back here with my experiences when appropriate.
Love you all.
I don't believe for a second half that stuff, you wouldn't have cuts then blisters, get your facts straight before telling stories to scare people.
aight, hot stuff.
first of all, everyone's symptoms are different. mine included cuts before the blisters came. on the second half of this post, someone commented they went through the *exact* same thing i went through, so you better watch who you're telling what to.
second, i'm not trying to scare anyone. i'm trying to tell people blow for blow exactly what happened to me, so that they can take comfort in knowing someone went through what they did.
third of all....who the hell do you think you are to tell me i didn't go through what i went through this week?! it's just a story? do you need me to post a picture of my scarred puss for you to believe me?
fourth: this clearly is your opinion and that's aight, but im just not in place where i can take kindly to people who presume on no certain grounds that they can write off this kind of ordeal(which is what it was to me) as 'tall talez'.
My symptoms vascillate between blisters and fissures - small cuts in the skin. She's not making this up, that's very arrogant of you to assume that. Maybe you should do some more research on herpes.
Believe it. All of her symptoms are consistent with genital herpes outbreaks and you should be afraid. Afraid enough to be responsible for yourself and others. Brain swelling, affected eyes, bleeding sores that stick to your underwear, are just part of the battle for some women. Please educate yourself.
