Terri

So Terri I want to say I think I may have had cold sores as a kid. I don’t think I’ve ever been tested for HSV before??? Either way I’ve never had someone definitively tell me I’ve had HSV1. I’m just going off of statistics that I’ve had Cold sores as I kid. At least I think I did.

So with all of those symptoms above they may be 1st of my life symptoms they may not. All I can say is that these symptoms have been on and off for going on 6 weeks now and it’s driving me crazy.

Last thing that I feel has changed is that my penile glan seems kind of dried out and has seemed to look wrinkly and sometimes flaky. Not aggressive flaky by any means but will shed a small penile pupil flake. No liquid or scab. Might be from touching it consistently. Not sure. Biggest thing that has me worried!!!

Also just tons of odd leg pain. Like tendons stretching out on my hamstrings switches on and off daily, groin feels like it’s pulling and lower back is hurting. Haven’t worked out in 4 weeks so it can’t be from that. On top of that my feet tend to get swollen & sharp pains (pinlike)in them (week 7 symptom) and my right hand.

With all of those symptoms and and an extremely high variable HSV1 Igg would you say this is potentially fresh GHSV1 infection? Or just something my body is battling?

I am going to urologist next week. Anything in particular I should ask him to check? I am trying to tell myself that this can be a viral infection due to the some of the symptoms I had in the early weeks but I am giving up slowly. Still going to see HSV2 testing through week 12. Been HSV2 negative 8 weeks through.

Thanks for the follow up. You were a wizard on the keyboard today. It was fun to watch. Kind of took my mind off things.
