General herpes

I hope someone can answer this question about 8 months ago I was told by a doctor that my igg test came back possible for herpes after I was burning and itching down there but I never seen bumps and it's been 8 months but I've been burning itching and sharp nerve pain non stop almost! What did he give me?? Is this symptoms of herpes? Is it possible to have burning itching and sharp nerve pain but no bumps?

I have the same burning nerve pain. Do you feel them like hot spots all over your body mainly legs or do you have jolting pain that radiates from one place to another? The only thing with me though is that I keep on testing negative on my igg blood test, last tested at 14 weeks I'm going to wait closer to 6months to test again

I have pain that goes from one side of my private area then back around to my buttocks and down my inter thigh, sometimes it stays like on one side of my private area and sometimes it's only around my butt then sometimes it's everywhere down there. It's feels like a muscle pull with jock itch. There's times when I'm standing up at work and it hits me like a needle stabbing me down there. If you tested negative for herpes after 14 weeks then you don't have it unless you had a new partner since, it only takes a couple of weeks for the igg antibodies to show up( 4 to 12 weeks). I think you may have injured your sciatic nerve or something. My sister has sciatic nerve pain like that and she doesn't have hsv2.

I've had the same thing! Went to the gyno today and was diagnosed with vulvadynia. It matches exactly what I have. Constant burning is no joke and there really isn't a cure for it either.

Omg! I hope that's where all this pain is coming from and not from the disease. I looked it up and I do have a lot of those symptoms. Do you also have itching with your burning? And a stabbing pain that radiates from your inter thighs and buttocks?  Thank you for telling me that this could be the issue.
No I only have severe burning. It's unbearable. To be honest I think it's linked to HSV. It happened at exactly the same time and I've never had issues.
Seems like vulvodynia happens when there is an underlying condition. It's brutal and I'm scared it may last awhile.
Yea I think it's related too and I know how you feel, i found out in April of last year and I'm still in pain almost everyday. I've been to several doctors none of them think it's hsv related so i ask what is it?? Nobody has the answer. I've been to all natural cure doctors, watched several videos and checked out all kinds of books at the library on it that talked about different herbs. I spent probably hundreds of dollars on these herbs and I'm still in pain. I hope it doesn't last forever for the both of us.
Wow almost a year?! Has the burning diminished at all?
What herbs have you tried?
Well it has gotten better, on a scale from 1 to 10 it use to be a 8 now it's like a 6. I can tell my immune system is working hard. I take vitamins and herbs. I've tried a whole list but here's what I think works best for me. Vitamin C, vitamin D3, Zinc, I take L-lysine, Echinacea, olive leaf extract, and another herb called lions mane it's supports nerve rejuvenation it's from mushrooms.  I also use oil of oregano and rub some of that on my lower spine. I've looked up a lot of stuff it's worth the try and I trust natural stuff more than harsh pharmaceutical drugs especially when it's not a cure. If you're interested go to a YouTube guy called "James cures diseases". He has a lot of knowledge of hsv2. I also look at dr sebis herbs, I don't buy his stuff because they're too expensive but I bought the burdock root and Irish sea moss off Amazon, I haven't used it yet but I will. Good luck I hope some of this will help.
Thank you so much! I am taking a few of the vitamins but am super interested in the lions mane!
do you mix your oil of oregano? I read that it needs a carrier oil and coconut oil is best to mix.
Good Luck! Hopefully relief or answers sooner than later!
I appreciate your knowledge with natural remedies!
You're very welcome!  I first bought my oil of oregano on line it was 100% pure with 86% carvacrol the name brand is Zane. it was so powerful it burned even with a carrier oil so I got some a the vitamin shop down the street from me and I don't need a carrier oil with it, I just put a couple drops under my tongue and on my lower spine it doesn't hardly burn at all the name brand is wild oil of oregano Mediterranean source, I like this brand. I would just try a little bit to see if it's too much for you are not. Definitely try the lions mane that is probably my favorite out of all, just give it like a week and you'll feel a difference in your nerves. I forgot to tell you about black seed oil it's also good! I would just try out different things because everyone is different but you will eventually find the right combination of things that work for you. If you ever have any questions feel free to ask me I would love to help.
Thank you! I wish you all the best!
Did you find out what it could be? Is the burning still bad?
Hey! No I haven't found out anything yet I just did an MRI today so within a couple of days I'll find out what the results are. I still have the same pain now it's moved to stabbing pain at the base of my spine before it was my butt thighs and private area. How are you doing? Did you try the herbs and stuff?

Try to stay away from spicy foods, greasy foods, alcohol and well nuts... I'm not to sure about nuts but eating them triggered my outbreaks.....please don't be hard on yourself because u only making it extremely for immune system to suppress or control the virus... . U SHOULD JOIN P.S positive singles... you'll find people millions of people in your position....it will help to understand that this condition doesn't mean the end of your love life.....heck if u suppress the virus you can even have a healthy relationship with a HSV- guy.... In the mean time try building friendships don't isolate yourself....

Thank you for your comments honestly I'm praying that I'll make it though I feel like giving up all the time I'm hoping that this is not real but if it is I pray for peace and forgiveness. I don't know whether to confront him or not I want to know why someone would do that why didn't he care enough about my life? I just want peace maybe I'll get it one day..
Well it already happen ok we all had to deal with that situation confronting isn't gonna change anything, making yourself feel dirty only destroying your emotions, trust me it's not that bad ok it have worst issues... you contracted a disease not even condoms can prevent so how is it your fault....**** happens in this life...plus not one to sound shallow but there're plenty of nice HSV boys out there so it's not like your dating life is over secondly you're a woman ok if you hot enough a health guy gonna date u anyway men are stupid... just being real and honest anyway blah blah blah blahhhhh... stop "F"ing up your mentality with all that god praying god punishing me rubbish and get a grip on reality...

It literally have worst **** going on in the world kids organs harvesting, slavery, women being sold into sex slavery, poverty and the list goes on you have herpes it's not that bad by time next year your lady parts would be good as new just stop stressing and living in the past take it from me it's not that big of a deal ok you just have to be more responsible as uncle Ben said with great power comes great responsibility and right now we like Naruto characters our curse bloodline could hurt others....


So remember our faith is not to shared with the innocent....stay strong beautiful
Well I have been told I'm a very attractive woman. Lol thank you that made me feel a lot better.. whenever I start feeling bad I'll read this comment.

I know it's bad now but the frame of mind you are in right now gonna provide added stress and that's not good for your recovery. I've been in your shoes even considered ending my life because I lost a lot that year and I was at my lowest, but I learn to love myself and everything started to fall into place... your outbreaks will go away trust me... you will have your life back..... not so much your sexual life but that's another topic for another day but you General health will rock on... and you genitals will look and feel amazing again.... don't let the stigma of this condition stress you....

Remember there're millions of us, this could happen to anybody, you are not alone....Stop being hard on yourself stop playing the blame game....

No I'm from NC.
This has been a complete nightmare for me I haven't even confronted him about it because I work with him family members and I'm afraid it will get around and I'll have to leave plus he's so evil he would get pleasure from knowing that he did it, I've even thought about pressing charges. I'm sure all this stress is not helping the issue
What were your test results exactly. This is very important. Most Dr's are clueless about herpes and the testing.
It was a blood test to look for antibodies. They said my igg was like 24.16 and it supposed to be like 0.5. 1.09 yea it was ridiculously high. I went because of burning and what felt like a muscle pull worse day of my life honestly. Another doctor told me the test only proves I've been exposed to the virus but because of my pain she's sure I have it but then I told her it's almost non stop pain even taking antivirals and then I told her I have no bumps she looked at me crazy said that doesn't make sense, she checked my cervix and nothing there so they prescribe me anti anxiety meds telling me it's in my head these doctors have been no help at all.
