Q: For Those Who Are In the Same Situation As Me- I've Herpes

The verdict is out. I had contract herpes and gonorrhea. I had a jab for gonorrhea, took pills for chlamydia and taking famvir for herpes. I'm revising the doc next week for followup.

Besides the phsical pain, i'm also dealing with the emtional pain.

For those of you who had contracted the same as me...........What do u noticed after oral medication? How did it affect u physcially or emtionally?

Please share your experiences.

Thanks
joan

Re: For Those Who Are In the Same Situation As Me- I've Herp
Hi joan-

wow...That is alot to take at once. I only have hsv 2. At first, I was devestated... Felt like a leeper. I was lied to, and betrayed. The first week was an emotional one- one i'll never forget.

But.. Then someone told- you can't let it control you. And they were right. This doesn't define who you are...Sadly, this is the way of the real world now.. How common stds are in this generation. So..I picked myself up with the support from friends and family- and decided to stop feeling sorry for myself, and this can get better. Managable. I educated myself, and still am. I go to a therapist a couple times a week, and next week, I plan on attending a free seminar, at the local hospital- where other people, like me- have this problem. I think, seeing that I am not alone- and actually hearing how they contracted the virus, with help me greatly. After that- the nurse said they'de give us as much information as the group needed- with diet, excercises, daily supplements, etc.

It will get better Smile i'm here if you would like to chat- or you can pm me anytime. Keep your chin up!
