Please help Embarrassing problem

[TearfulAndAshamed]

Testing namechange

Tearful , hope you're feeling better soon, you've been through the ringer, it will get better & before you know it will just be a vague, nasty memory. Please though, don't feel ashamed, a disease that's transmitted sexually is no different from any other disease, just something that happens in the course of life, really, it's no more shameful than chickenpox, or nits.

Cabbage, please, stop worrying, it's horrid, not fatal. There are better things to waste you time obsessing over, really. Don't get yourself worked up over things that probably won't happen, 'tis an avenue that leads to nowhere.

Hope you're continuing to improve tearful and feel much better today

Morning.I had a bad night couldnt sleep at all.The main thing causing me problems is the greeny discharge i have i thought it would have gone by now.But still one day of antibiotics left.I just want to feel normal again.

Its horrible Dp is moving stuff into the house at weekend and im too ill to spend the weekend with him

You poor thing.
Can you ask a pharmacist over the phone for some advice if you are too embarrasssed to go in person? I am sure there is something that could bring you some relief.

Hope you feel better soon x

That doesn't sound very encouraging, but try not to give up hope- lots of get well vibes being sent your way

I'd second Becaroooo's suggestion of getting advice, especially given how heavy the discharge still is. The thought of the antibiotics not doing enough/ it being the weekend means today is one for doublechecking you are getting all you need to get this awful bout out of your system.

Surely you didn't want to be helping moving stuff anyway?!

I know there is some stuff that helps but I cant remember the name!!! (sorry been up with teething child all night)

Do ring up and ask for advice, I find my local tesco pharmasict really helpful.

Are you on Zovirax tablets OP?

You shouldnt be on antibiotcs surely? It's a virus. I would ring NHS direct maybe and ask for some advice. I did once for this and they were very helpful

lever- i think the MN drs had decided that the OP had an infection on top of the virus. Sores can get infected.

OP- i know it must be revolting but the green discharge could well be a sign that things are healing up. Think about when you have a cold- a snotty nose is a sign that the white blood cells are invading the nasties.

Why not give yourslef a quick rinse a few times a day- you prob are already- and see how you go in a day or two? if it gets worse you will have to go to A&E at weekend.

I called the GUM clinic again.I feel like such a drama queen.The lady said that my sores got infected they think and the tablets they gave me to clear it may not be effective as they couldnt check the infection ie swab for it as i was in too much pain.So when the herpes is all cleared up i have to go back and get checked again for other stis and or infections i may have.

Hopefully this will all clear at the weekend.I am so fed up with it all.I wouldnt wish it on anyone.

I am cleaning the area about five/six times a day and drying with a cool hairdryer.The sores are a lot better now the headache has passed.All i want now is the painful peeing to go.My bottom aches as well right under the spine but thats yet another symptom.

Thank you again everyone for their advice and also for just listening to me moan.

Moan away, I would if I was suffering so badly!

Am looking forward to hearing you complain about DP's unpacking skills instead though

T&A so pleased you are sounding a little bit better. I'd say over the weekend you will start to feel dramatically better as the virus receedes.

As well as the vitamins perhaps a supplement like Minadex might help as you may well feel quite wiped out/post viral for a while. I need to take some myself after having a bad sore throat virus about two weeks ago I am still low-energy despite being (in theory) over it.

Onwards and upwards!

I'm tempted to name change but not going to as I think we're too ashamed if illnesses which us what this is.

I had herpes about ten years ago and do understand your agony. Don't know if they did test on you for strand of herpes as there are two - the STD and the cold sore virus.

At the time they told me it would be the STD even though had only one partner. Test results came out and was normal cold sore virus even though neither boyf nor I had had cold sore for years and years.

The symptoms will pass but font be ashamed. Even if it is the STD then these things must happen for us all to know about it and there's no guarantee you didn't get it from your partner.

P.s boyf at time became DH and married 8 years now

How are you feeling TA? Better I hope.

Happy Mothers Day

Hi Im feeling better at last.I can almost pee without screaming now yay.I have a terrible itch there but im hoping its just where its all healing up.I feel completely wiped out think will take me a good week to recover.

Happy Mothers Day to you too.I went to my mums she said i looked ill and sent me to bed.So i got my first lot of sleep for a week.A whole four hours best mothers day present ever

So pleased that there's light at the end of the tunnel now. It must feel like forever since you were properly well.

Had a crap night sleep myself so I can appreciate the joy even 4 hours uninterrupted kip can bring. Your mum sounds lovely, and just what you need

It really does feel like forever.It has certainly been a wake up call.Im going to totally change my diet and have already found a gym in the place im moving too.Plus im taking all the vitamins.I never ever want to feel like this again.

Thank you for all the support i don't think i would have got through this week without the encouragement and advice on here.I honestly felt at my lowest ever.
