Okay, I have been really, really exhausted over the past few months. Probably started around the time that I was first diagnosed with H six months ago. I am 28 years old. I am young and vibrant. I work a 40 hour week (along with occasional singing gigs at night). I don't do anything too extreme at all. But usually about halfway through the day, and especially when I'm home at night, I am completely and utterly exhausted.
I remember reading a post where someone stated that she stays in tune with her body when trying to recognize an O.B. She stated that she watches for exhaustion as one of the symptoms. So now I'm wondering, is exhaustion common with this virus??? Please help me. I just want to know what's going on with my body for sure. I have not had an O.B. in 6 months. A little tingling here and there, a little burning and swollen feeling down below for a couple days, but no real sores or rashes or anything of that nature. So is it the virus or not? And if it's not some form of an O.B., what is it?

LBP35, thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooo much for ur response. I just wanted to see if I had anything in common with the other GH family members.
So, ur husband has it? U don't? I don't want to be nosy but I just need some assistance in the area of conception and just sex...period. What do you do to protect yourselves during sex? Just condoms or just waiting till an OB is over? Do you have children? If so, were they affected at all.
Thanks again for ur response.

I wanted to reply, but I still can't think of the word, you know that so called kissing disease that people get in HS or college...
Anyway, when i was first diagnosed with the virus, I was also diagnosed with that too, with all the tiredness, swollen glands, headache, etc. - it was tough to differentiate between the two, but since then, I don't have any other symptoms at all when i get an outbreak (just pain and itching).

Your talking about MONO !!! the kissing disease. You feel tired all the time and it takes forever to go away and there's nothing you can do for it.
When i got my first outbreak i was exhausted all the time, i'd lay down to watch a movie or something and i'll be gosh darned if i didn't just crash out.
Couple of times i slept like 10 -12 hours on a few days.
Every once in a blue moon i still feel that way and i don't ever remember feeling that way except on super hard nights as work. I think it's just a sign of your body trying to fight something off, and you should let it. when you feel that way, do get more rest and don't be so vibrant, it'll be good for your body. Sometimes your body gives you signs and you just have to follow what it wants. If i try to work out and lift weights and my body doesn't want to cooperate i'll just let my body win and rest that day and try again the next.
So there ya go Wennie, perfectly normal i suppose...

Wennie, do you eat well and exercise? If the malaise is longterm, not just a few days or a week, it may be more than just the herpes. Otherwise, it's a very normal symptom.

Guys, thank you all for your replies!!!
Backpacker, I eat very, very well. Now exercise is another thing. I don't do that too much. I hate to even admit that. But I am so tiny already, and I am very active at work and at home. I really should, but I don't. The fatigue has been ongoing for me. Especially recently. I have noticed it a lot more. I've been going to bed around 7 or 8 p.m. lately.
Serial, I love your advice. Just sleep, huh? To ward off whatever my body may be trying to attack? I LOVE IT!!! Guess I'll sleep all the time then. LOL.
