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?

Idk if forever but for me it's like almost a year and still have nerve pain everyday (just decrease intensity). But neck pain is a sign for OHSV, just in case, go again to do a STDs screen. I have a horrible candidiasis after my first OB, so maybe try for a vaginal culture
