HSV 2 results

[confusedandscared4]

I am new to this community and scared and confused as heck and I have no where else to turn. I was just recently diagnosed with genital herpes 2 and I am in shock to say the least. Here is my diliema. Over the past 10 years I have had a blister that has popped up in between my bottom way far from my anus that starts as soon as you can open your cheeks. (sorry to be so detailed) It has always been on one side ALWAYS and no where else. I have been to the docotrs and they have all seen where it is. I have never had any sores in the vaginal or anal area at all. I was told by each of them that it was shingles and that it can come back to people who are very stressful (and that would be me). I have even mentioned to each of them that I have had the Shingles before. They didn't seem to worry and just said ok, let me see where it's at they look and "Oh yea, its shingles!" I take medicine everytime it has happened and it clears but ever since the first episode I have pain almost everyday and I know that is common with people who have had shingles. There isn't a day where I don't feel pain in that area. the pain can go from mild to severe. Recently I had a break out in July and went to see the doctor he asked if I had ever had a problem down south and I said "No, never!" he said ok good. I had another breakout in September and luckly I had a refill that he had given me just in case. Before this I hadn't had a breakout for 5 years. The years before that would be 3 years or once a year. It varied and only comes out when I am stressed. I recently went to the doctor to talk to her about my reccurrences because I have become very OCD as well. She asked me have they ever checked me for herpes? I said no. She said Why not? I was like I'm not the doctor I don't know! well here it is I am diagnosed with HSV 2. I am angry, scared and very confused. Why would doctors play like that with somebody's life, feelings after all these years!! I'm also confused about my results. I hope somebody can help me calm down and make sense of this. I am also going to see my OB in a few days. Sorry for this being so long.

I must add that I live with the pain everyday where the breakouts have been. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't feel pain, like a shooting pain in the area or itching.

also a neurology consult for your pain is also a good idea to make sure that you  don't have anything else going on . herpes isn't going to cause you non-stop daily pain like this so it's worth checking out other causes.

unfortunately some providers would rather lie to their patients than to diagnose them as having genital herpes so that they don't have to deal with it :(

shingles doesn't reoccur like yours has. Odds are you never, ever had a shingles issues and this has all been hsv2 going on.

have you tried any daily suppressive therapy mediations yet?
