Let's talk! Let's share! WE ARE NOT ALONE or
Freaks! (Tamara's Update for you!!)
 If
any Tulsan's or surrounding area members are getting messages still, would
they/you interested in going to OKC sometime next month say??? Need to hear &
know then we can make a day of possible a Saturday? Sunday? It would need to be
weekend day for me at this point so hopefully, we can maybe plan to go to OKC to
meet up w/Free & some other peeps. :))) Lunch, Riverwalk, nothing big or overly
costly...simple, meet, eat, talk, laugh, grip if we need...!!!

I'm not some contaminated freak!
 Hello everyone. My name is Tamara and I have HSV2. I was diagnosed
almost 5 years ago. (I’d had it for who knows how long exactly)
I was not one who when I
contracted it had the initial, "INTENSE", outbreak (ob). I woke up one Thursday morning in
November 1998 feeling horrible, could barely get out bed, my body overall hurt,
by the end of the day, I'd noticed sores in my "womanhood" area and didn't know
what the hell was going on!
The next day I was able to get myself to my Dr. who
informed me what was going on... I had Genital Herpes. To say the least, I was
of course surprised, devastated, angry, etc. I've battled feeling very
contaminated for much of the time since.
I have been on suppressive therapy for
almost 2 years now. This has been a very... stressful year... full of change,
disappointments, and frustrations. My relationship of 5 1/2 yrs. ended this past
May.
I lost my job early in June, other health matters, other life stuff and
changes to deal with. It occurred to me recently that with all things
considered this year, my ob's have been pretty minimal and light when it has
decided to be “active”, 1-2 sores - lesions and if I've recorded correctly, no
more than 4 ob’s this year to date now Sept. 2003... which to me isn't bad
considering all that’s been going this year.
The ob’s have certainly decreased
more and more over the years as I've reflected on it this year particularly.
I'm
now ready to live my life regardless of having genital herpes. Getting more
educated, reading about it more, talking with others who have herpes has helped
me tremendously regarding having HSV2.
I'm realizing this is
manageable and I'm not some contaminated freak! Well with all that said, I hope
to be able to bring support, hope, faith, trust, humor, and anything else
beneficial to others.
Tamara :)
