besides sores or even before sores. what were your physical symptoms? nasuea ? sore throat? …thank you did yoi have hsv 1 or 2? thank you
Sore throat and extreme fatigue. The medication also contributes to the fatigue. It’s a crappy virus to live with. I was diagnosed with hsv2.
how long after sore throat did sores appear?
Extreme fatigue, fever, chills, tender swollen lymph nodes.
how long did you have symptoms before breakout?
They appeared as the sore throat was going away. I had sore throat for about a week.
Unfortunately I have both hsv 1 &2. I haven’t ever had an hsv 1 outbreak but I did test positive through a blood test. But before I would have an hsv2 outbreak my left butt cheek would hurt then I would feel the area where my outbreaks occurred start to itch but other than that I didn’t have many symptoms.
Before I noticed any blisters, I thought I just had the flu because I had flu like symptoms or just a really bad cold to say the least. I also thought I had a really bad yeast infection (I got them multiple times a year prior to HSV). I also had like a shooting nerve pain in my legs. The blisters started to appear as the “flu” started to fade away. Sadly I still brushed it off because it started as one which looked like an ingrown hair, then over the next couple of days they multiplied drastically
I would say maybe 3-4 days. During my chills & fever stage I felt pain but I thought maybe it was a tear or something until I checked & I noticed an ulcer on my perineum, but I still was in denial. Over the next few days I started to develop ulcers on my vagina lips & that’s when it dawned on me.
