Oh Steph, how sucky. Both the discomfort and the not knowing.
A friend once told me that her first outbreak was amazingly awful but that the few others she had over the years were extremely mild. She had to be vigilant when she bore her two kids, but there were not problems with either delivery.
She had the virus before she met her husband. He told me, years later that he saw his children in her eyes the first time they met. She was super upfront with him about the dangers and precautions. His response was that he wanted to know when she had her next outbreak so that they could 'get it over and done with.'
They've been married for 23 years.
Steph, I found this if it helps
I found that, too. I guess I just wanted the assurance of a positive test, you know? Then I'd be sure I was treating this the right way.
Thanks for looking stuff up. I really appreciate it.
The internet is our friend. FWIW everything else I was seeing said a week or two as well.
My roommate is employed! Now I'm trying to decide if I want to go drive carriages on Mackinac for the summer.

That sounds terrific! The only downside is that I won't be able to come up and hire you to drive me around the island.
I'm a little concerned because the guy in the picture at the top of the page is not being very safe. But I still really want to go.
OMG I've always* wanted to go to Mackinac Island! Go for ME!
*for values of "always" that equal "ever since I saw it on Dirty Jobs".
that was a great "Dirty Jobs"
I missed that one. Was he mucking out stalls?
