Prodrome

Well..I've finally pinpointed a warning for myself.

My legs feel like they are burnt. Like someone poured burning water all over.
Then...within a day bam..OB.

I've finally discovered this after almost 3 years. I hate how this virus seems to play tricks on my mind and it changes.
After the first OB I didnt do so bad. Lately I'm having one a month. It's awful. I'm single again and for a minute I actually thought that regular sex helped the OB's to not happen..is that even possible?

    Hey girl....yup...having sex on a regular basis actually contributes to you NOT having as many OB's. You're satisfied.....and life is great. You have compainionship, and sex....nothing to worry about.

    When I get my outbreaks, I get lower back pain.....and my right leg feels like yours. When I touch it it's the craziest feeling ever.

    Sorry to hear about you and your ex.....

    I"d say we should be on the hunt together, but seriously......I'm so content w/ me. If someone of interest comes into my life, then ok.....if not...whatever.

      do you find that your general health goes down before an outbreak?
      I"m just learning but it seems like I'm a bit run down just before an outbreak. maybe i'll get tired and kinda depressed or a yeast infection, or a headache or increased allergies. that sound plausible?

        yep. I get this nasty fatigue. I swear I could sleep for 3 days if I could get away with it. Then I feel normal for a day and the burning on my leg begins.
        I'm already depressed so if the H has anything to do with that, I probably would not notice.

          i'm actually NOT depressed for a change so i notice. (yes, leaving that dude was sooo key!)
          i don't know if i'd call it burning. but before i get a mouth sore, the area feels raw to my tongue and tastes alkaline, like blood. i bet that's akin to burning and tingling.

          so i guess next would be to see if i can head off or shorten an outbreak next time i feel fatigued.
          whew.
          i like understanding well enough to act, rather than just being pushed around by the thing.
