Totally freaking out and reading way too much information to process and retain anything. Tons of questions.
But first, some background.
Two years ago I began dating a guy who had oral herpes. We had unprotected sex a few times but we broke up after seven months. I was never tested. Since him I’ve had unprotected sex with a handful of partners. So yea. That’s that. I suck basically.
Anyways. Here we are now. Four days ago I thought I cut myself while masturbating and figured the pain near my a**hole was from a rip during sex. I had sex a week prior, exactly. After the first initial lesion I took pictures and noticed what looked like other cuts forming. So that was a Friday and by the time those cuts became more noticeable it was the weekend meaning closed OBGYN. I finally went to Urgent Care this morning after being in so much pain and discomfort. He immediately said it was herpes as it is now a cluster of lesions inside me. And the area near my a**hole is basically a huge cluster. Now the blisters are starting to form on the outer “mound” area and have also began forming on the labia. Basically it’s every where.
I feel like I’m going to die. Emotionally. I know I’ll live through this but WTF.
Anyways does anyone have any suggestions....I have a few issues that i could use honestly ANY help with
-to stop the itching as it’s only just started because they have only just started to spread to the outside.
-to stop discharge, it might sound silly but im so nervous for the lesions to make thier way inside my anus as it’s already deathly to pee.
Also
-how long did y’all first OB last. Like I said I’m technically on day four of the outbreak but I’ve only started medicine today.
-my period is due to start in four days, any advice for that would be helpful
-I’m taking acyclovir 3x a day, anyone ever used this and have any feedback?
-I also have one abnormally long labia that is super bothersome. It’s like a constant reminder because it makes it so hard to “place” myself for comfort.
-and the smell, it’s horrible
I won’t be able to go to the GYN for another full day at least so I’m freaking out that my pills won’t work and I’ll be totally screwed with the worlds longest first OB
HOW do y’all live with this because my world just flopped upside down and I haven’t stopped crying yet. They say stress adds to it but that just makes me stressed even more. I literally have an EXTREMELY stressful life and I’m just really freaking out.
Anything will help me right now.
