I recently started working out and notice I get the tingling feeling like if an outbreak is about to happen. Only when I workout :/ it’s also not extreme work outs. Does this happen to anyone else? If so, what do you take or do when this happens.

Hello! I was just diagnosed with hsv-1 and my brain is a mess. So what happened: last week I got super sick and tested positive for strep but it wasn’t getting better. I could barely swallow water and had a 101 fever. Then a cold sore appeared on my bottom lip on Monday. I got it swabbed and came back hsv1 positive. I am currently on valtrex and have been using abreva + cold sore patch. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to heal the sore faster? Also what are the stages? Is it supposed to pop before it crusts over? I havent been touching it like at all and have been super careful around my housemates. I just have to see my whole family for the holidays and I am so scared to be judged. Any suggestions, advice, comments would be really appreciated ❤️

How much of a difference does Valacyclovir make for herpes simplex symptoms and outbreaks? I haven't been taking it long enough to know but would like to know what to expect. I've only ever had 2 outbreaks before taking the medicine, both were about a week of flu like symptoms and 2 weeks of sores and painful urination.

i guess i’m mostly here to find out better ways to manage HSV and prevent outbreaks. i also want to know how i can best protect my current partner who so far as tested negative.

I tested positive for hsv2 last week. I've never had an outbreak or symptoms of any kind. my partner also tested positive last week and he also has never had an outbreak or symptoms of any kind. I've been given a lot of conflicting info and I'm worried about accidental exposure to my kid. obviously it can spread with or without an active sore right? how else would we both have it when we didn't have it 2 years ago? does anyone know the stats or risk levels really? it feels like no one actually knows anything about hsv2 with certainty.

yall. I was diagnosed in 2018 & was asymptomatic until this year. I've had this current breakout for 2 months. I've been on Acyclovir for 4 days now and it's barely going away. is this normal? my dr made it sound like 7 days maximum and if it went away before then to stop taking it but I feel like one week isn't going to be sufficient???
