Herpes Help!

[scared123456]

So I went to the doctor yesterday and she told me that the sores in my genital area were herpes. At first I cried, then I decided crying would get me nowhere. I am no longer upset about it, just a little frusterated. I just want to move on with my life. I know life will be differnt now, most men will be scared to be with me and thats just something I have to deal with. I still have to tell my partner, but i wont see him until tommorow and I want to talk to him in person; and I am very nervous about his reaction, but mostlikely the herpes came from him. I have been with him for 3 months now and before him there was no one for a year. Anyways the pain from the sores is awful and I want to know if anyone has found something to make this better. I read about treatments and I found this thing called quickclear its supposed to keep you from having anymore out breaks, does anyone know if it really works?

Thank you for the advice, I apreiciate it and will definatly wait on starting a long term treatment. Hopefully I can be as lucky as you... i'm keeping my fingers crossed! Oh and I called my doctor today and talked to her about how the sores felt more painful and so she gave me five samples of valtrex to hurry the healing along.

I feel your pain, I found out I had herpes 1 and 2 and was quite devastated and upset. I haven't tried quickclear or anything like that but before you start a long-term treatment. Get medicine to treat your existing breakout-my doctor prescribed a topical cream -and I suggest waiting a little while. I've known i've had herpes for about 5 years and only had 1 breakout!!!  Learn your body pattern. It may not be as bad as you think, you may not have breakouts all the time. stay hopeful.
