Coping
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.
So I talked the biokit people into giving me the test. Going on tuesday. One final question before I post my results on Tuesday. All the discussions I see are for the herpe select. I was tested by labcorp which I've read is the captia. Does that make any difference? Still worth getting a biokit?
no reason to wait 3 months since this wouldn't be a newly acquired infection for you and you just need to confirm results.
So I contacted the clinic & they won't run the biokit for another 3 months after my last test. Is it worth going for the western blot or should I just wait another 3 months?
