About a year ago I had some bumps on my vagina.I went to a ob-gyn and she said I had herpes!The same day I went to the ER to get rechecked and they said that I probably just had a reaction to something I used and I was using some vagisil and monistat at the same time so that made sense.They also did a culture and blood test there.The ob-gyn then called me a few days later and said that the herpes culture came back possitive.But I was already using the madicine from the ER and it went away which made me think it really wasn't herpes.I gat 2 more bloos test from my primary and the ob-gyn that all came back negative then I get a letter in the mail from the ob-gyn saying that my pap smear was all normal.Now I an really confused!! What should I do?

If two different doctors said that you have herpes, you most likely do. You do not have symptoms 24/7 of the disease. There are outbreak times. If the cream cured the outbreak, great. It didn't cure the disease though. As of yet, there is no cure for herpes.
I'm sorry to hear.

No only one doctor said that I had the disease and the cream was not for herpes it was from the er which said that I burnt myself by usind cream that was too strong.And the ob-gyn sent me a letter that said my pap test was normal which I do not understand if she told me on the phone that I had herpes.

The best thing to do then, is to get a second opinion. Go elsewhere to get tested and see what the result is.

That's the thing I been to the ob-gyn,the er and to my primary and the only test that came back positive was the one from the ob-gyn and I got tested about 6 times and only 1 came back positive.

Then, it was a false positive. It was wrong. Don't dwell on it, or you will drive yourself insane. A mistake was made.

Another thing do you know anything about the Gardasil shot?
danielnoahsmommy
Aug 4, 2008, 05:48 PM
I would still behave as if you were positive. Use a condom
danielnoahsmommy
Aug 4, 2008, 05:49 PM
Gadisal is for hpv not herpes
ChihuahuaMomma

ALWAYS use a condom! ALWAYS!

She's right, Gardasil prevents HPV. It isn't a bad idea though.

Well I been with the same partner for 2 years and she is with me 24/7 so I know I cxan't give or get anything and I think if she would get it she would already have it and she been tested also and was negative.Before her I was with the same person for 5 years so how I would get herpes I do not know.

No I know about Gardasil I got it but I think it made me sick read my other post it describes what happen to me.

We are not saying you have anything. Just be careful.
GABBY0124
Aug 4, 2008, 05:53 PM
I know that and I will be sure to be extra careful!
ChihuahuaMomma
Aug 4, 2008, 05:53 PM
I don't see how that is relevant to this post.
And you can get something if your partner is not faithful, obviously she will tell you that she is, but if she's not being monogamous you can catch something from her that she caught from someone else.
Be cautious.

No I go with her to every doctor appoitment and we are literally together 24/7 and the gardasil question is completely different from this one but I just wanted to know if you had a answer that that question.
danielnoahsmommy
Aug 4, 2008, 05:57 PM
There are side effects to many inoculations including gardasil. I would be very wary about getting it again.
ChihuahuaMomma
Aug 4, 2008, 05:59 PM
I'm not saying that she is cheating on you, I'm saying that's it could be a possibility. It always is. That's why trust is an important part of a relationship. So, neither of you have jobs, go to school, have separate friends, go to the store alone, visit your parents without the other?
And if I have an answer to another question, I will visit that question.

I already got all 3 shots and do not need any more but I want to know if there is anything I can do?
GABBY0124
Aug 4, 2008, 06:01 PM
No we do not... we live with her parents and I do not have friends neither does she and my mom works full time so I only see her on the weekends and yes she is with me.

What's done is done.
Do you think it is healthy to be with each other 24/7? I don't
GABBY0124
Aug 4, 2008, 06:02 PM
Well it's been 2 years and it's been perfectly fine.
ChihuahuaMomma
Aug 4, 2008, 06:03 PM
You both need separate friends and separate lives. You need to be separate people.
GABBY0124
Aug 4, 2008, 06:05 PM
Well I think that having friends usually ruins a relationship and I have a 4 year old daughter and can not do much anyway!
ChihuahuaMomma
Aug 4, 2008, 06:08 PM
Are you serious? Friends ruin a relationship? I don't think that you're view of relationships is healthy. I've been with my boyfriend for two years and we both have our own friends, have jobs, and go to school. Separate lives are healthy.
danielnoahsmommy
Aug 4, 2008, 06:08 PM
You are making excuse for an unhealthy relationship. I have a 5 year old married, work and still have time for friends
ChihuahuaMomma
Aug 4, 2008, 06:10 PM
I agree with DanielNoahsMommy. You can maintain a romantic life, being a parent, and still having friends.
GABBY0124
Aug 4, 2008, 06:11 PM
Well thank you for your opinion but I would rather not have friends based on bad experiences but everyone is different that's your own opinion and I have mine but thank you for sharing!
ChihuahuaMomma
Aug 4, 2008, 06:15 PM
I've had bad experiences with friends as well, that didn't stop me from making friends with other people. I have four really wonderful best friends, and tons of awesome acquaintances. If you let a bad experience stop you from experiencing that same thing again, then your life will be dull and boring.

I don't understand how my relationship has anything to do with my test!
ChihuahuaMomma
Aug 4, 2008, 06:18 PM
It has everything to do with it. The point I am trying to make is that if you aren't the one that could be bringing in an std, then the other person could. Being together 24/7 is unhealthy, and that could force someone to go to the store and never return (trust me, I know!)

Gabby, we are just offering you advice on the situation you have given to us. Its an unbiadssed veiw of your life froman outsiders perspectivfe. It does not appear healthy. Sorry if you don't agree.
GABBY0124
Aug 4, 2008, 06:21 PM
And I understand all that but I also think it is unhealthy to be apart too much.
danielnoahsmommy
Aug 4, 2008, 06:23 PM
You are not apart at all and what does that teach your child?
GABBY0124
Aug 4, 2008, 06:23 PM
My question was to know if it was possible to have a false possitive test whether my relationship is healthy or not or whether I gave it to her or she gave it to me all I am sayinh is that we both gotten tested numerous times and all came back negative I was just a little confused about that.
ChihuahuaMomma
Aug 4, 2008, 06:24 PM
And i understand all that but i also think it is unhealthy to be apart too much.
It can be yes, but who decides how much? I see my boyfriend every morning and every night, we have a healthy sex life, and we have healthy separate lives, we both have goals in life.
GABBY0124

Teach my child what?
danielnoahsmommy
Aug 4, 2008, 06:24 PM
We gave you the answer. Pretend you are positive and use protection condom/dental dam.
GABBY0124
Aug 4, 2008, 06:25 PM
O.K But everybody is different and I I have goals too but I am just not doing much right now because all of the medical problems I am experiencing which I posted in other posts.

Aug 4, 2008, 06:26 PM
Teach your child how to have healthy relationships, to be independent and self sufficient.
ChihuahuaMomma
Aug 4, 2008, 06:27 PM
Teach my child what?
To be completely dependent on one person and not live life, not enjoy the company of others, not learn the responsibility of a job, not better their life with school... it all depends on how it is taken in.
GABBY0124

O.K But everybody is different and i I have goals too but I am just not doing much right now because all of the medical problems i am experiencing which i posted in other posts.The only medical problem that you mentioned was your stomach being sore, and having vaginal bumps. If these are your excuses to not pursue life then you never will, you'll just always make excuses why you can't do something.

Hi,My name is Gabby. I have read your posts about Gardasil and I just wanted to share my story with you.I also live in Philadelphia.I had gotten all 3 of the gardasil shots last year and immediately after the 3rd shot in November I got sick.The very next day I was extremely dizzy and just did not feel right at all.I automatically called the ob-gyn where I received the shot and asked her about the reaction I was having and of course she said that it was not related.Not very long after that I was having stomach problems followed by an unusual cold which I had a nose bleed for several days.And followed by that I had a constant pressure headache which I also feel in my face,back pain,mood changes and muscle twitches.I went to my family doctor and he thought maybe it was my sinuses and gave me medicine and antibiotics which did not help.He then gave me steroids which I had a very bad reaction to and ended up in the ER.I finally went to a ENT and found out that my sinuse were fine.After that the doctor said that I have anxiety and gave me meds for that which I did not take because I knew inside that this could not be anxiety.I then had a new symptom heart palpatations and went to the ER for that and told that I was having pvcs probably from anxiety and then I was really frustrated they were just guessing and giving me the easiest diagnosis.I had gotten numerous blood test,chest x-rays,cts of the brain and sinuse,mri of the brain and sinuses,x-ray of the spine and still after all that the only thing that came back was that a had mild scoliosis,tension headaches,anxiety,high cholesterol,and pvcs.None of that helped at all.It is almost one year later and I have not gotten any better or got any answers.I have been to a number of specialist and even changed my doctor and nothing helped.I gave up on all the meds I was given because none of then helped or they just made the symptoms worse.Now everybody thinks I am crazy and does not want to help me.They say its all in my head which I know different.After reading about all of the girls being effected by the shot I really think that's where all my symptoms are coming from and I just want to be back to normal.I am only 19 and feel like I'm 50!Please reply. Thanks,Gabby

From what you described you are using it as an excuse. I have a small child broke my anckle 3 times in 31/2 years had 3 surgical procedures and still worked took care of my house and family managed to have friends.
Why is your girlfriend not working what is her illness?
