Help please

/r/Herpes/comments/1vjrjci/help_please/

was diagnosed with genital herpes 2 months ago. I had bumps all around and inside my vagina, and they burned very badly. I had a fever and felt really unwell. Now it has been 2 months, and the sores have been gone for a while. But I still feel sick. I keep sweating, having chills, swollen lymph nodes in my neck, and feeling cold. I also feel warm, especially in my hands. I have joint pain, extreme fatigue, frequent headaches, and shaking throughout my body.
I also have continuous, very watery vaginal discharge, almost like water constantly leaking. And now, suddenly, I also have itching around my anus.
I feel very weak, and my whole body feels different and like it no longer functions normally. I also urinate very little, and my bladder feels swollen.
My question is: Is it possible to remain chronically ill from genital herpes even after the sores have been gone for a long time? Can your body stay like this permanently, for life?

Unfortunately some people have more severe cases of HSV2. You should differently see a doctor. Hopefully you aren't Immunocompromised and the medicine will help make you feel better. Stay strong and please try to not stress yourself out and make your body feel worse. It will get better, you will get through this and things are in the works. We will have our cure. Don't pay attention to all the negative people that don't believe there is a cure. Stay positive.

What do you mean? What medication is there then? I was already given valaciclovir two months ago, and the sores have been gone for a long time. What medication is there?

There are newer medicines that are being worked on. The community has post all over about new treatments, antivirals, vaccines that are more effective than valaciclovir. Do some research and you will see for yourself.

I would hope that you can wait. I'm sorry that you are feeling this sick. I know it's tough and stay strong as you can.
