I may have herpes...I'm 16 years old it's my first outbreak
I got an STI blood test, urine sample and swab done yesterday and my syptoms came about last saturday and since have gotten worse over time.
It's incredibly painful to pee....I'm doing the salt bath and holding myself open when peeing but it still hurts like hell! The only time i get relief is in the bath without peeing...
I need to poop but I've been keeping it in..
I haven't been drinking a lot
And i haven't been eating much as i don't feel like it...
I feel like crying over this...im in another state on holiday to where i live and i just want to go home and recover...
I go back on sunday and im scared to go on the plane....
I don't have any medication for herpes
Just antibiotics for "infection" which has helped dry my sores up....
Im on two sets of pain relief too but they don't do much...
Get yourself some coconut oil if you can. Obviously it's not nearly as effective as proper medication, but it really helps to keep the urine off the sores when you need to pee!
I just want to say to you that if you have herpes (and you might not remember!) You are amongst many many people who have this. Once you get through this it will settle down too.
Get some good support from someone you can trust and if it is herpes (remember it might not be!) you can get antiviral medication if you get another outbreak.
Some people don't get another one but if they do it gets milder especially with the medication.
I'm sure you must feel alone right now but you have a community here who can support you and you'll be home soon!
Je ne peux pas mieux dire que Lucy. Vous faites partie de beaucoup de personnes qui s'inquiètent, car comme beaucoup de gens, nous en vivons aussi. Je suis positif au HSV-2 depuis 10 ans et j'ai vécu exactement tout ce que vous avez décrit. Une fois que vous commencez la thérapie de suppression, vous êtes dorénavant bien. Personnellement, je ne me souviens même plus de mon dernier épisode et toutes les émotions que vous ressentez (ne pas manger, etc.) je pense que c'est simplement la dépression due au choc initial. Je sais que c'est ce qui m'est arrivé. Allez voir votre médecin, prenez vos médicaments et en quelques jours, vous vous sentirez mieux. J'ai suivi des séances de thérapie et je suis membre de ce groupe depuis un certain temps et cela aide beaucoup. Les larmes s'arrêteront aussi.
Remember....C'est une situation très courante dans la société
Pour atténuer la douleur lors de la miction, il faut boire beaucoup, pas moins. L'urine diluée pique beaucoup moins. Les médicaments antiviraux pendant une première poussée ne font pas grand-chose à moins d'être commencés dès que possible, donc ce n'est pas un gros problème que vous n'en ayez pas reçu. La lidocaïne topique peut également aider à atténuer la douleur.
When you pee carry a bottle of water with you. Pour it on your vagina while you pee. It helps. Sorry you have to go through this. My first outbreak was wicked as hell. It will pass. I know it doesn't seem so but it will. I had my outbreak in my butt. I would hold up my poop too but it isn't healthy. It might hurt but to me nothing compared to the pee. If you do decide to poop clean yourself as best as possible then get in the shower. You need to eat and stay hydrated so your body can heal. Wishing you the best.
The pain when i pee in the salt bath does not hurt nearly as much as it used to ~ i no longer cry or scream 😊 still is painful but now it's manageable ~ and its getting slightly easier to walk and sit even with aches and stings~
I think the reason i don't want to eat would be my antibiotics since i do wanna eat but i feel like throwing up when food is in my mouth...
i love food honestly 😁and im bummed that right now i can barely eat.
Im hoping that once this is all through I'll be able to eat again with no hassle 😊
Im going back to my doctor today for my results (the day i go back to my home state 😐)
I just got my results and i have herpes type 1 and a UTI 😊 just happy to know what i have and that i finally have medication for it and that it should be all gone in 5 days~ 😊
Glad you're making progress with your healing!! I too have hsv-1 so I know how you're feeling. Glad that you don't have to wonder anymore and you know for sure!
