Hi Terry, Just wanted to give an update on my condition. I hope this doesn’t count as a question but rather an ‘update on my health comment’ and I don’t lose my 2 remaining follow-up questions. I will make sure I don’t ask any questions in this comment. I am not a US national so even $25 dollars is a lot to me. I request your understanding of what I am trying to say.
October 19th: Symptoms were more or less the same.
October 20th: I started a b3 supplement as someone on Reddit told me that it was a b12 allergy and b3 counteracts it. Talked to a derma and he said HSV tingling/prodrome is not everywhere on the body and doesn’t last long before the OB comes. He told me to take an anti-allergic or wait it out and suspected a b12/pain med allergy.
October 21st: I noticed the b3 was helping me. It was either b3 or the placebo but the symptoms were getting better. The day went well, I was also outside so didn’t notice much. I tend to notice these things when I am at home alone otherwise these things are hardly noticeable once I am outside or enjoying the time with my friends or girlfriend. At night, had sex and noticed my penis foreskin and penis gland was itching. Could be because it was rough and I had a condom on which had some glue. I took b3 and slept. Nothing unusual the next day.
October 22nd: Symptoms were getting better.
October 23rd: Comparitively better. Still taking B3 but in fewer small dosages.
To conclude:
I had a minor itch/some tingle in the initial days ->
Some toe pain ->
Tingling ->
pins and needles ->
itch, slight pins, and needles ->
Less tingling and more of weird sensations ->
some very mild tingling/pins/weird sensations and some joint very mild pain/discomfort here and there.
These symptoms were 90% on the body and 10% on the groin area. Nothing on my mouth or face.
Requesting your opinion on all this. Also, there was no nerve pain or anything in any area of my body. I stopped all my supplement which is zinc, multivitamin, lysine, b12.
