Herpes and numbness
I've had herpes for a while but have never felt this before. I have numbness/tingling throughout my entire left side from shoulder to foot. I don't have an outbreak. It's been like this for 2 weeks now. I've been taking Valtrex but I'm beginning to feel nauseous and dizzy and unsteady. I've had tingling before an outbreak but it only lasts a couple of days. This is lasting too long and don't know what to do. Any advice.

Hi, I'm curious if your numbness and tingling ever got better? I have recently tested positive for both hsv1 and hsv2 and I am having tingling in both legs, shoulders and throughout my arms. I know your post was many years ago, but i'm hoping you still visit this site. Thank you.
I would RUN to the ER or your regular provider today to get this followed up on. This isn't due to your genital herpes. These are very serious symptoms and need followed up on promptly.

You need to see your health care provider. It doesn't sound related to herpes, but you should still get it checked out.
