Herpes Questions - Calling ALL GHSV1
Hello there,
I was hoping to come on this board for some help and support. I would greatly appreciate any feedback..as I am quite new to herpes.
I am a carrier of GHSV1, female and had my first severe OB during the month of Feb 2014. I was tested positive from a swab test at Plant Parenthood. My first inital OB lasted for about a week (pretty short) and I was prescribed with Acyclovir 400MG and Lidocaine 2.5% and Prilocaine 2.5% cream from my local Plant Parenthood. After my outbreak..I felt very normal. No tingling sensation, no itching, zero symptoms. That was during March. Since early April, I've been feeling a lot of tingling and itching on my genitals and buttox. I did catch a cold earlier, but now I am over it. I am wondering when the tingling/itching sensation will go away? Especially since I am over my cold. It has been exactly 4 weeks since i've been feeling these symptoms. A couple of questions:
1. When exactly do you think the the tingling/itching sensation stop? I am taking my vitamins (prenatal, l-lysine, noni juice and acyclovir daily)
2. Do you think the virus is just active as I am a new carrier to Herpes?
3. Is this a sign of a potential OB? There is no pain, just itchiness/tingling sensation.
4. Will this tingling/itching feeling ever go away? I do have hope since during March I felt NO symptoms!
I would greatly appreciate ANY feedback on my questions/concerns. I want to thank you all for advance as well.
