I have herpes and it seems to be getting worse not better with time....

I got herpes a few years ago. The outbreaks in my genital area were pretty frequent and bad. It seemed however as I've aged, the outbreaks have become less frequent and less severe--IN THE GENITAL region.

However the thing is the herpes seems to have spread. I think it spread inside of my buttocks. It felt like it anyway because I had this inital really bad infection, it went away, but then I got recurrences, and now it seems to have gone away, but who knows maybe it will come back.

Also ever since I was a child I had eczema on my arms, on the other side of the elbow, just below my biceps. Then all of a sudden, in the last year, the eczema spread all over my forearms. Whenever I would go to the gym the eczema in my arm seemed to make me more susceptible to weird cysts and infections. Then recently I noticed something on my bicep. I think its shingles because it was a cluster of bumps and it stung pretty good. then went away, but now there are a bunch of bumps there that don't seem to ever go away and it seems to sting and just feel weird and sometimes they seem to get better or get worse but never just go away. Also I had what I think was shingles in my underarm and it seemed to go away but left a dark, discoloration of the skin.

As if this wasn't enough the eczema has spread to my face and I think it has spread to my ears as well. Also its spread to my things. I think I have had tiny herpes outbreaks or something on my face. I think I had one on one of my ears too. The ear started shaking one night and stinging as if it had been infected. then it just got dried up and red for a while. Now it is just dry. Also I feel something weird going on with my eyes. I am thinking it is the beginning stages of eye herpes. Because of all these weird things I decided to just start taking my valtrex pills (which I keep around for outbreaks) on a daily basis as a form of suppresive therapy.

It is interesting to me how the areas where I believe I have had herpes outbreaks feel different and kind of icky when I am at the gym working out. They feel more sweaty and I believe I am sweating more in those areas. Also in general the skin has become drier/tougher in the places where I have had herpes. I honestly don't know what the hell is going on with my body. this is all hitting me in the last year. I just feel like my health is just falling off a cliff and I have been trying to fight it by eating healthier and exercising more. I am starting to think I might have HIV which seems crazy to me.

Does any of what I am saying sound familiar to anyone!?!? What is happening to me? I am so depressed right now. I feel like my life is over.

Hi ya, Ive had H for 20 odd

Hi ya, Ive had H for 20 odd years, sometimes it can get worse and sometimes i don't get an Ob for a while.because it effects the nerves it can come out in different areas,you say you exercise a lot, i know a lady who was with the support group i had going a year or three back and she said she would get an OB every month, which I've been told by a lot of woman this is common during their period, this lady started bike riding every morning before work , something like 15 kms and then running a lot of kms after work , she started getting OB s twice a month, she lost a lot of weight and was running herself down, i believe this was running her immune system down, food for thought ??
hope this may help
