Hey! I just wanted to update you on my situation .  I had spoken with you about my constant symptoms and you suggested it could be a sort of autoimmune thing . I visited a different gyno and it turns out I have lichen schlerosis . She has given me a steroid cream and my pain and irritation is at 0 (which has never happened since this started) . The antivirals working must have been in my head. She also pointed out that my inner labia have half disappeared due to lichen which I can't believe I didn't notice.  I don't know if the blistering I experienced was hsv1 or lichen but I don't really care now that I am so comfortable . Thank you for your insight and it turns out you were right , I feel stupid for doubting Terri Warren as well since she is such an expert on the subject. Thanks again!! This question forum is great. 

Thanks so much for your follow-up.  When we get follow-up we are better prepared to help others.  I'm delighted to hear that you have gotten a diagnosis and that your symptoms have improved.  Please let us know if we can help further.  Take care.  EWH
