Has anyone had to work whie having genital herpes i am in so much pain and can bearly walk. But im in work tomorrow i work at the hospital i would tell my boss but scared what she will say or think of me.
The only thing that helped me was tea trea oil
Did you go to work though i dony k ow if i should really be going in but what do i say to my boss.
Yes i still went to work. Unless your in a line of work where sexual contact is involved it isnt anyone's business. My initial outbreak was awful, everytime i moved it hurt and i seen online that tea tree oil helped so i tried it and it made the pain go away instantly i had to reapply it often but it was definitely worth it
Thank you i have ordered some tea tree oil and if they ask whats wrong at work i will just say i have a groin strain x
Just make sure its pure tea tree oil, and alot of places sell it, like pharmacies and beauty supply stores
I couldn't imagine as I had severe neuropathy w mine primary ob. It was terrible.. I work from home and still took five days off and couldn't even sit up.
Rub Vaseline on the sores.. It will help w the pain by easing the friction. Put a lot on so they have like a protection coat. It helped w my pain.

That stuff burns.. It does not soothe.. In my opinion at least

FEELBROKEN YOU NEED TO TAKE THE MEDS I TAKE TO ACYCLOVIR 400MG QTY 30 TAKE BY MOUTH THREE TIMES DAILY FOR 10 DAYS
I take valtrex daily. 500mlgs. What I'm saying is, I have breakouts at least once a month even on it. But they are so mild and don't even cause me pain. Due to being sick, I haven't gone out drinking in over two weeks and am wondering if this is the reason for not having a book, especially being on my period AND, it is the longest I've gone not having any type of sensation in days. Hope this is a good sign and becomes the norm
i had a break out too before my period
Shockingly, I've not broke out and I'm about done w my period. Really hope this is a sign that things will keep getting better.
Everyone is different, what works for me might not work for you. Vaseline didn't do anything for me. You could also try the chapstick stuff that is for cold sores, that worked ok for me.
I have the same concern with working while having an GH OB. I just found out two days ago that I have GH. It was on a Monday and I was in so much pain. I could barely walk and when I was at work it was so difficult to sit. I was not able to concentrate on my work and I was not in the mood to interact with people, which is required for my job. Even when I needed to go to the restroom I was in so much pain when I peed and pooed. The following day on Tuesday, I couldn't last the whole day so I ended up leaving before noon. I felt horrible having to cancel all my appointments and pretty much putting a hold on my work and school life, but I could not handle to pain, plus this is my first OB so I'm still trying to get over the shock of having this for the rest of my life and figuring out how to handle it. I've been taking the acyclovir that had been prescribed to me with hope that it speeds up the process so I can return to work, but it's only been day 2 of taking it. Yesterday and today (Wednesday) I've been soaking in epsom salt baths, using a jelly that my nurse had given me and trying to use my blow dryer to dry it out as well as taking my meds but it's still been a slow process.
I think I will need to miss another day of work (Thursday) but I am really nervous about letting my boss know because I've already been out a day and a half. I contemplated telling her as well, but I have the same worries that you do. I also don't want to disclose it with her because I believe it's my personal business, but I can see how it interfers with work life. Right now, I think I'm just going to take the time I need off and if she questions my time off I'll just let her know that I have a personal matter that I don't feel comfortable discussing.
I hope you're able to find a solution to your issue with work. It's frustrating to know that bc of GH you now have to deal with situations such as this now, whereas before, you never had to worry about it. But challenges only make you wiser and stronger.
Best of luck to you.
No Shocker... I ended up breaking out on the inside again. I would really like to know if this is from my period or from the friction of tampons... If that's the case, then I'm gonna be scr*wed when it comes to trying to have a sexual relationship 
Ive just been told I got herpes 2 days ago. Ive been in tiers since. I'm in sooo much pain and it doesn't help that I got piles too.
But the issue is my Dog of a boss. He makes u feel that even a day off is not acceptable.
I said I had urine infection and the doctor only gave a two day slip to hand in.
2 bloody days...I'm in so much pain I need a life time off with this virus.
That's what worries me to . If this is for life .then i will be takin to many days off work.
This is my second day back at work since being told I just starting taking valtrex yesterday it helps but to walk is still painful for me putting coconut oil on them soothes them I read apple cidar vinegar but that just stung really bad and I feel irritated them I also work retail so it's a lot of walking around I just pace myself and take an alive every now and then to help and the combination of those three got me passed my first day.
Hi - I know this is an old post but wanted to ask you if you are better now that time has passed? I also get lesions on the inside. They are so painful and burn😖 Have you found anything to put up there for relief? Hope you are doing better.
