Herpes or not

I have a complex situation occurring and want some thought on the direction I go.  About 3 years ago I remember getting a sore inside my nostril then a year later had Bell's palsy.  Fast forward 18 months ago serving a tour in Africa in the Armymy body was very broken down. Since November I have experienced multiple periods with persistent sore inside of the lips and sometimes forming inside my upper lip, very sensitive lips upper and lower, prickly neuralgia like symptoms throughout my body, discomfort in urination ( not pain) cramping in my bladder and my lower abdomen.  Eye problems with very dry and stinging eyes. These symptoms have persisted on and off since Nov.  other than the oral sores which are not like herpes sores in photos I have had no genital or oral lesions.  Any thoughts on whether this may be herpes or perhaps something else. I am stumped.

Hi, the only form of herpes that can cause nerve damaged is shingles but even that is not common. I would suggest to have the facial sores swabbed to see what they are. That would be a starting point.
