So Confused
I am a 32 year old female who just was tested positvie for herpes. I went to the doctor for my yearly anual and he ask me did I want to take this new that they have for herpes a long with my other test. I figure why not about a week later they aking be to come back in the office do to my blood work. The first thing that cross my mind was Aids. I ask her what was the problem she told me its herpes and you need to come and get medicine to help treat just in case I'm having an outbreak. I told her I don't think that I have had an out break. She told me just use a condom and I can retake the test if I feel that it is wrong. I had to sit over the holidays thinking what if I do have this. What type of signs have I had in the past that may relate to this. I have been doing some research and it says yeast infection is one of the signs. I know I have been having them a lot and bacterial infections could these be my signs of having the infections? When I went to the doctor he say there is no way that he can tell me how long that I have had this. I had a baby 3 years ago through c-section how can I determine how long have I had this. I have been dating a new man its going on a year. I know since him my skin has been itchy and I have broken out on my thighs but the marks are still their. My medical doctor gave me some cream that dried it up could that been an out break? I have been so confused and really don't know what to think. I told my current boyfriend he told me he has not had an outbreak. He was trying to be a bit comfort to me then all of sudden he had distant himself. I know he said he was going to go get tested. I not for sure if he has yet I have not seen him since then. I don't know but my gut is telling that this is something that has been in me more than 15 years it that possible to go that long and not have signs. Are could this be a recent transmission.
I dont see it now. I'm so confused!!!!!!
I just notice small white bumps on my oval I guess this is my signs. How long will this last and how can prevent them from coming back?
you might want to try the acyclovir instead and see how you do on it if you want to try suppressive therapy to protect a partner. Sometimes folks who have issues with valtrex, will do better on acyclovir. If you prefer the convenience of once daily valtrex for suppressive therapy, try the 500mg dose and take it before bedtime and see how that works. Another option is to work up to it gradually - like break the 500mg pill in half and take half once a day for a week and then up to the full pill. I had to do that after I switched to valtrex at one point because of side effects from it and I tolerated it much better. since you aren't waiting for an ob to heal faster and don't currently have a partner you are trying to protect, you can take your time getting to a full dose for comfort's sake.
I did look at it and he went over it with me. The test says western blot he say this is the test he is giving to all of his patient and most of all of them is coming out positive. Sometime I be thinking I shouldn't have said ok I will take it. Then I would not know what I know now. You will have to excuse my writing in the past I'm just so confused.
I dont think u had the western blot. I think ur doc is full of **** and that u need to make sure u had the western blot completed. Ask for a copy of ur test results. Unbelievable!!!!!
hold on a sec- isnt weird that intense2010's doc ordered a western blot, without an iGG ELISA test. Am i reading the posts right?
