In physical pain, alone, humiliated -- pharmacist told me quite loudly over the counter, " Oh, I have your prescription for Val but if you don't have insurance, it's REALLY expensive" and people heard. Bonus: the discharge and urine ordeal and I could not feel lower than any previous point of my life. If anyone can read this, I think I need a hug.
32, F, no kids, diagnosed this morning
IM so sorry I just found out today too I know what your going through I dont have any answers but I feel your pain.
I just found out today too. I feel your pain i dont have any anwers but I understand what your going through im here for ya
@cordwood404 Thanks so much. Sorry for the graphic description but I was just putting Vaseline on my sores before peeing earlier and kept thinking, wtf did I just do to myself.
Hope you’re holding up okay. Tomorrow is another day.
Sending loads of love your way chicky! I know the doctor i had tell me I had genital herpes type 1 was very like yup, its your fault, there's the door. Not in so many words but not willing to answer my questions. I was in a committed relationship, this first one in three years i had even held someones hand. I felt so alone until I joined this site and another one. If you need to ever talk PM me. :)
We've all been there! I was diagnosed in April and frankly, it was one of the more traumatizing experiences of my life. The sore themselves aren't the worst part, the worst is how it affects you emotionally and your self esteem. However, it gets better everyday, and you start to realize it's no worse than a common rash (just in a sensitive place). I'm 29, F, no kids. Genital HSV-1. Let me know if you need someone to talk to!
@defaultname I just found too. So far I haven’t experienced an OB yet or any symptoms. I know how you feeling. Im 31 F no kids either. It’s still very new and hard for me. But we just got to carry on and live a normal life as possible. Hugs!!!

I hope it's true. Smell fishy, fault, and money scam. There's always a possibly you and your husband is still infected. Tests can be false neg sometimes if you don't have an OB when you get tested. I'm not being neg but it's true. Theres no cure but treatments
i am a very straight forward and bold person so if the pharmacist had done that to me...i'd be one rude customer. im 18 and was diagnosed April, im on my third outbreak, ihad the first two before i was diagnosed, believe me i hate it just as much as i hated the first two. i understand how you feel completely i remember crying hysterically to my friend on the phone in an ATM telling him how much i dont want this anymore because i didnt ask for it. believe me i needed a huge *** hug, the pain is annoying the discharge and urine is so impossible i have to laugh and i thought i had no one but believe me you'll get through this. take your meds, stay positive and you'll be fine. being in this group has lifted my spirit along with having the loving support of my mother. you'll be fine, its gonna take some time to cope but its not impossible :) *HUGS*
