Its been over 3 weeks since my first outbreak. Which lasted me about 6 days overall.
I began to eat healthier and foods high in lysine, anything to basically help my immune system fight the virus. But ive noticed since being healed, at random times i get this tingling sensation in my vaginal area in certain spots. This happened first a few days after my first outbreak and i was like oh no another outbreak coming on. Since ive heard that a tingling or burning sensation happens right before the sores appear. But no sores came out. And at random times this sensation comes back. And i keep thinking it means im getting an outbreak but no sores...yet. could this all be in my head and i could be doing this to myself mentally since i do wonder when and if i will have another outbreak (infected with type 1) is this my body still fightin it? I also do notice that the tingling sensation did happen during a trip i just took during which i was eating unhealthy. Does anyone else go through this?
I hate the constant fear i get when i feel this tingling burning sensation and worrying about getting another outbreak soon after the first.
I have genital HSV-1 as well. I do get tingling sometimes too. I notice it more so around the time of my period. I am on suppressive therapy so I was actually surprised to see that tingling still happens sometimes. Idt you're making it up in your head. Just to be safe though I would keep an eye out whenever I did feel tingling, itching or aching. Better safe than sorry!!
I had the same thing and still getting it sometimes...(first ob in october)
I ask the doctor about it and he said it's normal, it doesn't mean you are gonna get an outbreak...he said it's because herpes is hiding in the nerves and it can last a year before it stops!
And you might get another outbreak but it won't be as bad as the first one! It does get better!
Its funny cause i started to feel the tingling and i know im about to get my period.
Suppressive therpay and you have type 1? How often are your outbreaks if you dont mind me asking? Just because my doctor gave me the option of supressive therapy, but mentioned i could also wait to see how often my OB are first to see if i will even need suppressive therapy.
But i do hope this is just in my head, every time i get the sensation i make sure to go check myself down there!
Oh ok! Thats a relief to hear, at least it will ease the constant worry i have in the back of my head that im about to get an outbeak when i get that tingling.
Yeah i have heard the first OB is the worst! So i dont feel to worried about my next OB whenever that kay happen since my first one wasnt even that bad in the first place.
After that first outbreak my doctor put me on it. And I've been taking it ever since. Some people don't get that bad of an outbreak but mines was horrible and spreading like wild fire. So I made the decision to stay on. I don't even want to chance going through that again
Another thing too as to why I have stayed on the meds is because I don't want to change my lifestyle. If I wanna eat fat or drink or do whatever I don't want to worry about if it will cause me another outbreak.
Hi I was diagnosed 13 years ago hps 2 I only had a ting sore outside more like a red bump but itchy as hell and sore I get tingling and itching a lot niw but no sore I also take lysine and other various vitamins which I believe help me. I have a constant aching in my thigh and buttock with sensations but I thinks its just the virus trying to ob . Stress makes it worse as does a period.
I also took axycolore at first and it clearrd up quickly. But my gp didnt suggest giving me supressive meds cos she said I had it such a long time ago and didn't need it daily now although im not sure I agree after reading lots if posts from people that do

Tengo el 1 y el 2 y estoy en terapia supresora y siento el hormigueo unos días a la semana y la mayoría de las veces no lleva a un Ob... Me diagnosticaron el año pasado en mayo y acabo de superar mi segundo ob
