spreading hsv1 cold sore to widespread

[Varta]

i had a cold sore when i was emotionally drained and very stressed. this probably led to a high degree of virus production in my saliva, and while this is a fairly common condition, what is not so common is what happened next. i accidentally inhaled some of that hsv infected saliva during a period of weakened immunity, and over a few days to weeks felt the classic sensations of acute hsv infection in my lungs and later the inside of my ribs ie, initial inflammation, followed by some settlement and finally concluding in recurrence at points on the inside surface of my ribs. i resigned my self to having to accept a newly infected area that will bring me pain in the future, however it got worse as the virus must have some how become bloodborne or disseminated as i started to have similar inflammation in my skeletal muscles, with the skin surface becoming highly inflammed in patches over muscle. it seemed to follow the muscles and preferred the joints. I don't know where it will appear next and I don't know why my immune system is not fighting it off. I do not have any other condition that would impose immune deficiency, however this virus seems to be invisible to my immune system.
What can I do to inhibit further spread internally, or am i destined to have disseminated hsv as it spreads?

I think you are assuming far too many things at this point. odds are your respiratory issues have absolutely nothing to do with herpes and putting off proper treatment is not in your best interest.

have you been seen yet for your symptoms that you are having?

thank you for taking an interest in my problem, its appreciated.
if you know what the prodrome for herpes reactivation feels like, which is a signature pain like no other, you'd immediately recognise it, wherever it occured. having this signature pain and a new persistent cough was enough for me to guess what happened. found literature to find that I am not the only one, although most cases are not documented or investigated further as they are rare, and therefore dismissed by primary care physicians. The correct test would be bronchoscopy and PCR testing of  BAL, however as it cannot be cured, I don't want to do that expensive test. (i have limited resources). What is of greater concern is how far this can spread from the lungs and whether anyone else has suffered something similar and lived to tell the tale. I have been unable to contact the individuals who have been documented to have gone through a similar experience. I have reasonable CMI but virtually no passive immunity, (humoral) for this virus. (characteristic lesion, prodrome and localised reactiviation confirms original infection, IgG negative, no florid eruptions so expectation is that CMI is still effective).
The internet is the only place where symptoms are recorded and shared amongst a global population, a privilege that the conventional physician does not use as they rely on published journals which is like reading about the news in a bound book, albeit peer reviewed, but too late and too narrow.

what makes you think this is herpes related? what testing have you had done to confirm all of this?
