Resources M-Z
This list of links includes resources
and information about herpes, genital warts and other sexually
transmitted diseases. Learning all that you can will help you understand
and come to terms with your medical diagnosis. Don't be afraid to look
stuff up and reach out to others for questions or advice. Don't be
afraid to talk to your healthcare provider. Remember that you are not
the only one that has ever gone through what you may be going through
right now.
Having an STD doesn't define who you are as a person.
It's good to do
research and to learn what you can about sexually transmitted diseases
like Herpes but please do not try and self diagnose your situation.
Herpes can not always be seen or felt and the herpes pictures that you
might find out there on the internet are not realistic and usually
considered the worst case scenarios. Many people that have herpes don't even know that they
have it because they don't get signs or symptoms. Try to remember this
while you are searching for answers and don't forget to make an
appointment to see a good herpes aware doctor. Nobody can diagnose you
over the internet! Below are a list of links to help get you
started on finding answers about Herpes Simplex Virus.
The Original Happy Helpful Herpes
Links!
If
you are familiar with the alt.support.herpes newsgroups then you
probably already know I've been posting over there for a long time. Can
you believe I'm still subscribed to it? The internet has improved so
much when it comes to sharing information that there isn't as much
activity over there as there once was back in the 90's. I don't think
they ever figured out how to control the spam on there either. If you
decide to check it out be sure you use either a fake e-mail address OR
one that you don't mind spam going to. The best way to access
alt.support.herpes in my honest opinion would be to do so through
outlook express vs. posting to the internet on a web page somewhere.
