Herpes Type 2

Hi lovelies,

So I caught genital herpes from a partner about ten years ago, and had a hideous outbreak at first. On top of the sores, I had flu symptoms and it completely wiped me out. I have not had an outbreak since...until 3 days ago. People keep telling me that the second outbreak is much less severe, but I feel awful again. I've got sores, it hurts to urinate (so I'm weeing in a warm bath to help!), I have an upset tummy and I am absolutely exhausted. I can't stop sleeping. Is this normal?

I have medication from the doctors, but I am frustrated by how unwell I feel.
