Suffer from reoccuring hsv2. How long do ur fever/body aches last

Hello I'm a 29 yr old female diagnosed with hsv 2 in 2014. My first OB was horrible of course but that's not my focus here. I recently (in 3rd yr of having hsv 2) am suffering from more intense OB's from horrible stress lately, but with no actual sores ever. I know I'm having OB's cause the tell tale onset of the sunburnt feeling on my leg(s), joint/muscle pain and fever and or chills that come in waves. In my first and second year all I would get was fatigue, some burning and slight muscle pain but now when I get OB's the joint/muscle pain, burning sensation on skin and fever are so uncomfortable and unavoidable. For everyone who has reoccurring fever symptoms with herpes, how long does your fever usually last? My fever started yesterday (Friday) and my doc doesn't open till Monday. Hoping so badly that it doesn't last till then cause it's so uncomfortable....also how long do your muscle/joint aches last for and the sunburnt feeling? I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy but can someone please relieve me and tell me I'm not the only one experiencing these type of reoccurring symptoms and what your experience with the time frame for fever/aches/pain.... thank you... any info is appreciated.

Thats not how it works. Your antibodies dont act up. They are always there. i wish you luck at the Dr.

Those symptoms are not typical of herpes. Especially without lesions or paper cut type lesions. I would see about daily suppression meds.

Thank you. I am going to see my doctor asap on Monday re: viral suppression meds. Im pretty sure its acting up again as she just tested me for all sorts of stuff in late March, and my viral antibodies were acting up which means my body was reacting to a virus (which I am assuming is hsv 2 cause of the undeniable symptoms) ....
