thanks van

Oh My Goodnes...there is someone else like me!!!

I don't know of anyone else who complained of glossitis with herpes.  Thanks for sharing that with me because I keep thinking that after 2 years they are not finished diagnosing me.  However, whenever I go to the dr, the other tests remain clear.  Some people have a bad reaction to herpes or any other disease I guess, but I still have yet to have an outbreak.  My other symptoms are stomach aches which are relieved with antacids...it didn't show up until I got herpes and I'm thinking that I have some sort of arthritis in my knees as walking down steps has become quite difficult...However, I've very active and I jog, have no problems walking up steps and exercise very often.  It's so weired.  What other symptoms do you have and do you go to any meetings?

As far as your red bump goes...herpes bumps (so I've heard) tend to look like chicken pox.  They may be red, but more importantly they will open and be painful.  One thing for sure, you don't have to get bumps to have herpes.  It can feel like scratches or scrapes and you may never see a thing.  So please get a physician to diagnose you before you shout "hooray".  Herpes is a tricky disease that varies (I can say from experience).

well from everything i've learned and what my doctors have been telling me(when  their not calling me completely paraonid) I have some serious doubts as to weather or not I ever had herpes.My doctors completely think there is no chance of any of my previous symptoms being herpes related unfortunately I've never been able to get an hsv1 test done or cmv test done things are different up here you can't even pay for it doctors order only, and there is nothing to take lession culture of. I  have never had a real outbreak ,the few bumps I had facially several months previous can be explained better by skin condition.any dots on the inside of my check never lasted more than 3 days and the tongue taste bud thing doesn't seem to happen anymore.I'll just keep my eyes open ,In truth I believe there is something new out there how closely its related to herpes or cmv I not sure I'll keep an eye out(part time)  for now my year of limbo is over
You should consider too that it may be something else,  the fact of the matter is more than half the people that test pos. for hsv1 don't develop symptoms(or very mild) and once you start obsessing on a thing your prospective changes hard to see the forest from the trees.  
the info you had on herpes bumps where did you find it and what else do you know about them ?
your stomach issue sounds acid reflux related ,I have similar but it only effects my throat.(stress ,alcohol, coffee are some causes)

talk to ya later

hey what I just read states that small tongue ulcers are a sign of stomach ulcers and stomach problems,that actually applies in both our cases.
