Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Herpes / August 2004Update and questions Was: Re:Okay here we go.
I have me a wee update. Finally got an apointment set up for the clinic tomorrow (all the private Gynnie's in maryland have 80 year waiting lists). Today after all the phone calls and the begging for referals I noticed that I've manifested some bumpie bits. At least it's a nice fresh thingie and I have a good chance of getting a proper diagnosis. Now for the questions! This weekend I am looking at a 3 day convention in which I will be walking for well over 16 hours all three days. Is there anything I, being female can do to decrease my impending irritation and pain? How the hell long does it take for this to go away anyway? I've been in what I guess is painful produm (spelling?) for 2 weeks and just now I'm getting the sores. I'm pretty sure I was done with the first OB in just under 2 weeks. Is it possible that because I didn't have sores the first time that this is technically the real first OB? Also How long does it take for the valtrax cream to work and is it meant to be used on girlie bits? *sigh* I've been waiting for this damn convention since the day after last years... It's always something. N. Did you try plain old bandaids? and maybe some of that anti-bacterial cream? There's no bacteria... but it's certainly is soothing. > I have me a wee update.

Thanks for the input Grant and Pain :) At the clinic, the lady brandishing the ice cold plastic implement of mass destruction (aka the doctor) did a visual diagnosis (they were out of cultures) of positive and slapped my sorry butt on Acyclovir as a suppressive since my husband is still negatory. I'm kinda shocked that he's viewing this as no big deal. I guess in the long and short of my personal situation it kinda isn't. Then again he may have a million other things going on in his cute little gothic head that he isn't letting on. Take care and be well! N. > Take Ibuprofin or aspirin. It really helps. My ex never thought twice about my virus. It just wasn't an issue for him. I would hope that your husband thinks the same. :) Good luck. ar > Thanks for the input Grant and Pain :) At the clinic, the lady > brandishing the ice cold plastic implement of mass destruction (aka [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > N. > > Take Ibuprofin or aspirin. It really helps. Just wanted to touch base with everyone in this time of stress. Our samples went to U of W for the Western Blot on Tuesday and now we wait for the results. I've managed to put it out of my head for the most part but the fear still comes up a fair bit and its hard to have patience. I know its almost sure that my girl has HSV1 as well, but I'm still scared out of my wits that I'll be the only one with it and what that will mean to our relationship. Oy vey. The results should be arriving some time next week, and as an added bonus, my Mom will be visiting from out of town about when they arrive. And, I've recently 'come out' to her so it should be an interesting visit. I've tested positive for HSV1 without a single sign that I know of. If stress can make re-occurences happen, this should about do it! Thanks all for listening. Hi JP, Honestly, it doesn't do any good to worry about things that are out of your control. So, try to relax. Whatever the test results are...it's already happened. Either she has it or she doesn't. It takes a good three weeks to get the results on the Western Blot.

Had a blast and spent 300 bucks on almost nothing (I did get a cute cat ear hat from the funamation booth). I loaded up on motrin and brought anti-bacterial goo with me (which helped a hell of a lot). I have to say being at the con was a wonderful thing, because it helped me to realize that there is so much more to live for and so many people who like you just cause you're you. Hehehe this is going to sound so weird and kinda silly but if you ever feel really really down go rent a few DVDs of Risky Safety... life is such a wonderful thing even when you feel like the deck is stacked against you. Much love and Many hugs! N. Aim: BlisterKitten007 They make hats out of cat ears?!?!!? *gasp* That's horrible!!! *laughs* pain you dork! Guess you'd have to see them. Maybe one of these days I'll get up the testicular fortatude to show a pic of me wearing said cat ear hat. Much hugs, N > They make hats out of cat ears?!?!!? *gasp* That's horrible!!!
