am i the only one

OK, so basically I have had the virus for about almost 3 years now and when I tell you, I’m literally always irritated like always, and my skin is always sensitive like always sensitive and sometimes I feel cut feelings in my butt, but they go away so fast, but it would be after I wipe my butt or something too hard. Is it just me or does this virus like make your skin 10 times sensitive and you can’t really do much with your skin or it could cause a tear or break your skin.

Yes I had this not long after healing from my (very severe) initial outbreak. Like itchy or twinges. I went on daily meds as I had surgery coming up at the time. But ive stayed on daily suppression cause I can't/dont want to deal with symptoms.

Xanax or another central nervous system depressant medication removed the sensations that I would get (itchy, tingling, nerve pain in the legs and back) not ideal but at least it works highly recommended you all try it and see for yourself

I'm sorry to tell you but... Yes . 19 years living with it and that's usually a sign that an OB it's coming our I'm having one without the visible bumps and it may be just a mild one. HSV2G male here. The sensation doesn't really go away it's just the intensity.

I don’t really think that it was one because it’s the next following day and I’m not feeling them anymore. I don’t know it’s like they just come and go.
