Hi Doctor,
I am between a rock and a hard place right now. I am a 29M and recently acquired HSV2 a couple of months ago. I've been experiencing a pretty severe systemic symptoms (terrible nausea, headaches, stomach pains, ears ringing loudly, overall just 'sick'). It is a rare reaction, but I spoke to a renowned HSV specialist recently and he said it can happen and can usually take about six months to abate.
