I have had Crohn's for 14 years and got diagnosed with herpes 2 a few years ago, and well, I am a happy, healthy 31 year old woman.  For sure... not the best in stressful times because it seems to exacerbate both conditions and i can't figure out which one it is.  Yoga, things that are good for your mind and your body n soul keep both at bay.  Is all good though!

There are two types of HSV, HSV type 1 and 2, and both can cause genital herpes.
