Hi Terri,

Okay, some questions about prodrome. I’m familiar with that pre-cold-sore sensation–a very specific tingle, in a specific spot, that results in a sore in a day or two. Is it like that with genital herpes, too–specific tingle at the precise spot that a sore will erupt? Or can it be more diffuse? And, is tingling down the legs ever a thing??

Still trying to pinpoint this. I definitely notice it more when I’m sitting down for extended periods, and much less when I’m up and about and active. Maybe just because I’m distracted.

I’m tempted to make an appointment at your clinic–would you recommend that I get checked out, or maybe let some more time pass for a re-testing? The folks at planned parenthood had no insight on this one.

Thanks!
