There is certainly a lot here to digest.
Most of your symptoms sound nothing at all like herpes to me – especially those that are not in the genital area. It is difficult to sort out all the nerve pain but I can tell you that in my practice, when the symptoms presented are mostly nerve pain, 90% of the time the western blots are negative.
How do you know that when you had sex with him, an outbreak was present? Did you see something on his genitals?
Lysine would have no impact on the western blot at all. And it sounds like the course of Valtrex taken was shorter than 2 weeks, is that correct? if so, that would not impact the blot.
Have you had any IgG test done recently?
I think your plan to do an IgG test at 12 weeks is fine,but you don’t really need to wait that long for an IgG test – 8-10 weeks would be fine but 12 weeks for the blot, yes.
I am not 100% certain that you have the virus – not at all. It is certainly possible but I would encourage you to wait on that judgement until after further testing.
You were suicidal because you thought you might have HSV 2, is that correct?
