Yes we all know exactly how you feel and it does hurt and I am truly sorry you are in our club.  But knowledge is power believe it or not that is the good news and the other good news is your not alone.  I am trying out this oil of oregano and Olive Leaf not to mention Lysine all these can be found at your local health food store with little or no side effects.  If you decide to fight and drink juices and build your immune system which of course means no drugs or alcohol then the virus will go into a remission mine went into remission for 10yrs and man was that wonderful.  It is back and I am in your boat right beside you with the painful outbreaks and I am hoping some herb or some doctor or health care professional will put an end to this terrible virus.  It does change your life and it will make you a stronger person that I can promise you.  1 out of 5 people have it now you would think they would put as much research into it as they can they just don't have an answer yet I wish they could figure one out for all our sake.  Your life is not over but yes it is hard to have any relationship so focus on your health and the right man will care. Your sister in herpes group we are the stronger because we will survive.

You definitely came to the right place for this. I can honestly say I know exactly how you feel. Your original Gyno should have been sued but too bad she is dead. I know the initial depression, shock, anger, and pain you are feeling. I found out 6 months ago that I had it. I also found out that I contracted it around the time of my 21st birthday. So I know how you feel about being young and having it, but it is not the end of the world. Just think of it this way. Herpes is now your built in mediator. You body can not be put under a lot of stress, so you have more of a reason to relax. Need to eat right and keep your immune system working strong, so losing weight if you need to, if not then keeping a healthy weight.  And the guy part. You have to tell every guy you think about dating so if they are just in it for sex or whatever then it nips that in the bud so you might not find a guy for a little while but at least when one sticks around you know its for real. You really need to pick yourself up, accept what happened and that it will be with you for the rest of your life, and move on. Living with it isnt so bad at all, just an inconvenience most of the time. I pretty much live exactly how I did before minus a few thing, which I am paying for at the moment because im still not used to taking really good care of myself and my gift is taking advantage of that. But really you just need to talk about how you are feeling with people that understand. I have only had it since April of this year, so going on 6 months but I have an amazing boyfriend whom I have been dating for 4 months now and he accepted me as I was. Believe me there is hope out there. It really isnt the end of the world. If you need to talk about anything or everything you can talk to me becuase I understand what you are going through and I want to help you make it through this.
