I finally saw my annual doctor about my "herpes story". He listened and
seemed a little concerned. At first before I could finish he interrupted and
said "maybe you have a yeast infection" but then I told him the rest of the
symptoms and the fact that I also have genital HPV, and he said it sounded
like genital herpes, and he gave me some information on herpes to read. The
funny thing is once I told him I had genital HPV he seemed more convinced
that I wasn't making up the story about the herpes and that it was more than
a yeast infection. Then I asked him to prescribe something like valtrex and
he didn't want to because he said that unless I am really having a problem
with the blisters I probably don't need the valtrex. He said if I continue
to have big flare ups with alot blisters to see a skin specialist like a
dermatologist, so I guess he doesn't want to consider it his area.  I told
him that most of my pain is the aching thighs, itching skin, lower back pain
and some burning, but I didn't get that many blisters. He told me I need to
loose a few lbs and get in shape, but everything else was okay. So I think
I'm going to continue what I am doing and take lysine, vitamins and eat well
and pray that I don't anymore big outbreaks.
