of the tongue, cheeks, so painful I cant
swallow even water without terrible pain,
first episode included lesions of the
genital area as well. the latest outbreak
which started about 4 days ago includes
terrible headaches, burning nerve pain in
my back, swollen throat.......have
undergone several diagnostic tests
including immune system testing, biopsy,
virology bloodwork with last outbreak and
none of the pathology workups came up with
a diagnosis. doctors assumed some strain
of herpes virus although that was never
isolated. currently on valtrex and
doxycycline but neiher have helped, this
outbreak just as severe as last one. Has
anyone heard of something like this in the
past? first outbreak occured after visit
to mexico, although that may be
coincidental. HELP!
