I honestly have no idea why your outbreaks do what they do to you. I wish I could say more about it – I don’t get outbreaks like that.

I wish I knew! I’m okay, I tend to complain alot at times. Men have worse outbreaks than women have in terms of pain I am told.

Oh I don’t know about that Al ~ I think it just varies from person to person. When I get outbreaks they are very uncomfortable. But again ~ it usually doesn’t last long for me. So sorry to hear you are still struggling with this issue.

Mine is mainly prodrome and for about 4 days and on the last day I get the lesions, but usually they go away fast…1-2 days. I used to get these painful sores from hell, but not too much anymore.

I know that herpes tends to have many, many possible outcomes as far as symptoms, lesions, frequency and severity. Aside from my sores looking different from time to time, my outbreaks tends to at least always have the same prodrome, and I am wondering why this is? A Typical Outbreak for me: Day 1: Feeling run down, tired, soreness in the genitals, aching in the lower back, groin, buttocks and thighs. Day 2: More aching, and shooting pains in the underarms. Day 3: Bothersome itching on the inner thighs, groin, maybe more aching. Later first round of pimples/blisters. Day 4: Cool burning sensation on the genitals that resembles a mentholated feeling, then inner and outer thighs. Day 5: More aching, pinching sensations primarily inner thigh area, then more blisters/pimples. Day 6-8: Healing period. So what I noticed is that the itching almost always happens after the aching. There must be something to the nerves being irritated and then the itching is like the nerves trying to heal, just like when you get a cut and its healing it itches. The mentholated feeling must be what some people refer to as "tingling"? Those are some observations I have noticed, if anyone wants to comment feel free. This outbreak started Monday and I prided myself, because I actually had not had one in about 10 days prior, but all good things come to an end I suppose.
