Herpes and pain meds.

Hello!

My roomie just found out she has herpes.

I know she's been in a lot of pain for the last 3 days...she can barely walk normally, forget riding her bike to classes and the like! I've been giving her rides...

What I'd like to know is, how common is it to be given vicodin with the antivirals? Or is she having an unusually strong outbreak?

Has anyone here had any experience with a painful initial outbreak? I know she's having issues with any activity that might rub there, to the point that wearing underwear causes her to tear up...What could you suggest?

i was told that the first outbreak was always the most painful.. excruciating even, so next time might be easier for her. But for now it just looks like she needs to lie down until its better. Try not to agitate it and whatnot. Just like a coldsore.
