i dont know what to do i cannot relax eat or sleep. i am going to counseling and i know it will help. but i was diagnosed with gen herpes 8 to 9 years ago, and i went to the er last night cause i had a bump in my mouth. now the doctor told me it was not herpes it was a mouth lesion! i cannot seem to stop worrying about this. i went to kiss my niece on the cheek she turned and before i knew it i kissed her on the lips. i know some people dont know to much about this. i thought i had this disease understood but obviously not. i am scared of my neices parents reaction if a cold sore develops on her lips. now i know i may just be paranoid but i don't want to have my niece living with this, but it may already be to late! help any advice. does anyone here have hsv-1? help please!

Hi Ealey,

I wouldn't worry about the kiss. I don't think it spreads that way. I am sure that your niece will be okay. But you can always talk to the doctor about it if you are worried. That would be my suggestion.

I hope that you can relax and feel better soon.

Take care,

Hugs, Karen

Hi Ealey,

HSV-1 cold sores appear on the outside of the mouth, not inside. You may have just had a canker sore, which is not related to herpes. I would try to relax :-)

from my understanding HSP-1 dies when it hits the air, furthermore the young will have strong immunities, thus i think all will be okay. to ease yourself give ya doc a call. jamie.

ok here is a up date! i went and got it checked it is a mouth lesion, so i was relieved yet still worried.i am in panic mode for everything lately and i went to a counselor yesterday. so i am getting help. my son is here now so he is keeping me busy and keeping my mind off of being depressed!

Staying busy is good........especially when you don't feel like it.  Please stay in touch with Doc about concerns.  Are you on any meds for depression/anxiety?  The constant out of control worrying can respond well to meds.

Take care and I hope today finds you feeling better and not worrying so much.

Learn meditation. It really helps. Learn to live in the moment. And take life one day at a time. Also self help books help a lot.

Hugs, Karen

Having these problems does not make you weird, it makes you human.  I did not have ins for a long time, I kept calling around until I found someone to see me and at a reasonable rate because I was paying cash.  If you feel you need medical attention, don't give up until you get it.  I hope your world is a little sunnier today.
