vaginal tear? yeast? or herpes?

I have posted on here a million times and seen 9 doctors. I don't understand what is wrong with me.  Last year a doctor thought I had herpes but the culture came out negative and so did a blood test.  These tests were done after the three month mark.  I hadn't even had sex with the last guy I was with.  I saw another doctor who said that I had a bacterial infection and that maybe the irritation that she saw was from using monistat.  See I thought it was a yeast infection and used monistat and it burned me a lot.  

I used the antibiotic and then got a yeast infection.  Since then I have not felt normal.  I only feel okay when I have my period.  Other times I feel dry.  There were a couple times the doctor thought I still had yeast so I took a diflucan pill and I felt better.  But I also used acyclovir one time and felt better.  So I don't know.  When I told the doctor about using the acyclovir she said, that acyclovir only works when you feel an outbreak coming on and you take it before you get the outbreak and it reduces the length of the outbreak.  She said that it could have just been a coincidence.  

Anytime I've gone to the doctor and had irritation or seen redness or something that I thought was herpes they say that it definitely is not herpes or any STD.  

I don't understand what is going on with my vagina.  It's like when I walk it feels like there is a tear.  It's just the one spot.  It's always there, occasionally if I'm less dry or on my period I don't feel as much pain.  

When I sit it's okay but overall there's like a sore feeling always.  Itching sometimes, sometimes not.  It seems to sting after I go to the bathroom.

I thought if it was herpes it would go away after a week at least but it's like always there, this weird feeling.  I don't know if maybe I have yeast on my skin, and that's why I feel this? Or I just have irritation on my skin that wont go away?

I would get another blood test to rule out herpes again but I've kissed a few people since then, so what if I got HSV1? Then it would be inconclusive, because I know that you can get HSV1 genitally too.  

I don't know how I could have gotten herpes though.  The guy I was with last said he was tested for stds, of course this might not have included herpes, but he has never had a known outbreak.  Also I was tested three months after being with him.  ....And I never had any pain there until I got a yeast infection and now it just wont go away.


I'm so confused. So sad. No one knows how to help me.  

I wake up everyday worrying what will happen, will I feel worse?  I hate this. I've never even had sexual intercourse. And now I may never get to because something is going on.

I maybe wouldn't even care if it was herpes, at this point, because I could take something and it would go away. But the doctors dont think it's that, and the tests say it wasn't...and it never fully goes away.  So what could it be?

Help please!

Hello, this post is actually from August of 2010 and I am surprised noone got back with her either.

sunnyone22, if you are still here at MH, did you ever figure out what was wrong?

I'm surprised no one got back to you. From what all the experts say, anything that is "around all the time" is never herpes, because herpes comes and and goes. What you have can't be herpes, but I can't say what you do have...
