Hi,
I've recently found out a new partner I was with on the 10th of June had genital herpes. He had no symptoms supposedly and didn't know of the herpes at all. I am also male.
My primary outbreak started as follows:
1. Flu like symptoms: back aches, fatigue, collapsing, dull headache, neck pain, (2 days)
2. Diagnosed tonsilitis both tonsils, herpes 1 outbreak on lip and tongue (cultures confirmed and taken June 13th)
3. On penicillin for 8 days for tonsilis and large mouth ulcers two on back of throat (right) tested neg for herpes.
4. No penis sores at all - post 20 days serve bacterial folliculitis as the doctors described on upper thighs and back of legs (looks like raw red area).
5. Itching on lip and then small blister only one on left of lip, alsways had coldsores on the right since I was 10. Doctors tested this for herpes came back negative apparently it did scab over.
6. It's now July 8th almost a month after and today randomly was hit with flu like symptoms just fatigue - my legs and body feel heavy and ballon feeling in hands. I'm wondering if this is my second outbreak? Nothing was confirmed as of type 2 yet and the bad folliculitis hasn't healed yet on my legs.
My normal partern I'm with performed oral sex on me the same day as the new partner and is experiencing the same symptoms in sequence with me almost exactly.
Will the fatigue always be this bad? For people that are infected. I feel as though I will pass out and a heavy and nauseous feeling that lasted 3-4 days before it was very intense. I hope this fades with time or I can't handle this very well.
Any advice would be appreciated and what do you do to fight the extreme fatigue symptoms on the onset of a breakout.
Thank you
