Coping

[confusedyoungman]

I need methods to cope. I've been diagnosed for a few months now and although some days are better than others I still have trouble. I'm solitary by nature & so are my great pleasures: films and literature. I find that when I try to read or watch I find myself losing interest and hearing that little voice "you have herpes" over and over. I started exercising which has helped a bit but still find it hard putting this out of mind.

it's meaningless. you could get those results taking the same test twice in the same day even.

Thanks grace. Does the decrease mean anything or is it just how the tests work?

[gracefromHHP]

you still have a low positive. the biokit at this point is a good idea.

Ok. Just got my 2nd hsv igg. Neg for type 1. Positive for type 2 @ 1.1. Down from 1.45. Found a place in town that does biokit for free. Thoughts?

Will have my second round of tests tomorrow but I wanted to put feelers out. Anyone on here had a low positive score with what may have been symptoms only to eventually test negative? Could use some hope going into tomorrow.

The IgG number will almost always be different for anybody that tests, it's just the science behind the test. It means nothing. Wait for your test results and go from there.
