It's already in your vaginal area. When you were infected, the entire nerve group that controls things from the waist down was infected with the virus.
odds are this isn't herpes causing all your symptoms. Start a follow up now with the GI doctor and then if symptoms aren't present when you are seen, typically they can at least get you in faster when you do have them again. so many things can be causing these symptoms.
hubby should still get a type specific herpes igg blood test done. you two can't make educated decisions about what precautions to take until you know who has what. Of course if he had been tested when you were diagnosed, you would've had better answers then about who gave it to whom, or at least known if it came from him or not. A lack of symptoms doesn't mean a lack of infection by no means. did you have proper testing done or just a visual diagnosis of herpes? If it was just a visual diagnosis, you certainly need to confirm it. several different conditions that are common in women with fibro that can cause all sorts of genital issues too.
I also wanted to know if this will continue to spread if this is herpes? Since I was told at one time it does not. Can you tell me the pattern? I'm so affraid it will spread to my vaginal area.

Thanks Grace, I appreciate your input. The only problem is when I need to see a specialist I can't get in for two to three weeks, Is there a test I can have at my primary and then go to the specialist from there? Hubby has never been tested. Since he's never had symptoms he doesn't believe he caused it. I have no way of knowing how I got it. This diagnosis nearly cost me me marriage when I first found out. I have never tried daily therapy. I have fibromyalgia and I feel so bad every day, would it make me feel worse?

so have you ever been properly tested for herpes to know your status or just assumed it's herpes? has hubby been tested to know his status too?
have you ever tried daily suppressive therapy?
At this point it's time for a gastroenterology consult to get a better idea of what is going on.
