newly dignosed single mom of 2

[scaredtomove]

Well I had my blisters scrapped Monday. I'm aware Its herpes solely from the look of them. Pain and location. Of course everyone I've been with denies any genital concerns (yes I'm aware it can be asymptomatic). But I did inform each of them so I've done my part.

I'm so scared this is going to move from my left labia to my entire body. I know it needs a moist surface to stay alive. But I'm just new to this new kind of constant paranoid thinking. I fear Hand hygiene isn't enough and I should be doing more. I am scared to wipe away my tears. I was in emergency this morning because I got a cyst in my eye and was convinced I transferred herpes from vaginal area to eye. Overtime my arms tingle or my feet feel funny I have to do a complete head to toe assessment.

I'm a single mom and I don't care about my future love life. I care about my kids safety and their wellbeing. This diagnosis is extremely difficult to handle at the moment but I'm sure with more information I'll be able to manage a healthy lifestyle that reflects my new body's complications.

If you can help me understand how to keep this contained. The likeness of transferring from genitals to body. The precautions other parents take. I can start to feel empowered and less like a giant bag of dirt.

Yes I stated oral antivrials 2 days ago. I've notice some changes. The blisters have popped. It hurts like hell and to top it I got my period so I have to wear a pad and I'm sure thats not helping heal it any faster.

Looking forward to hearing some replies. This Google search way about finding information is scary.

Thanks grace.

One more question. I had my first known ob Nov 27. Have had unprotected sex with a boyfriend for almost 2.5 years. What is the likely hood he has gotten this from me.

He is going for bw Monday. He also gets cold sores believed to be type 1. I just found that out.... I have type 2 genital. At no point has he ever performed oral sex on me. Just wondering the odds. And we are both aware he could have type 1 and 2 and given this to me. He's never had symptoms however.

herpes on the finger is very painful.  not likely this is herpes going on on her finger at all. most times a blister is just a blister.

you didn't give your daughter herpes!

if dr. told you it WAS herpes on your daughters finger, i would not accept that diagnosis for my child until it was swabbed or somehow a definate diagnosis by lab work of somesort. i would demand a swb if this is what he's diagnosing her with.

And yes I am hoping to start daily therapy Monday. Dr sent wrong percribtion Friday afternoon.

Is it possible to get type 2 in side my nose. I have a painful bump.

So my daughter has a blister on her fourth right finger. I freaked and took her to emergency and the Dr tidbit looks like it or ciudkd be a blister. He didn't swab it and just said keep a bandaid on it and it'll go away..... all ifbus have washed our hands constantly. How did this happen... what does this mean. He said it Polly wont come back. To keep a watch. And get it checked if it doesn't go away. I don't get this  I cleaned every inch of the bathroom everytime I went. I washed my hands every time. I don't believe I'm not a walking biohazard I was so careful. This situation has me very upset and I know I need help dealing cause I'm honestly at my end point.
