Well, there is no exact proven link to my neuritis and the heroes outbreak. But, herpes lives in the nervous system, and stays dormant for a long time. Plus I've seen articles about plexus neuritis that mention herpes as a possible cause. I just found it weird that 2 days after that messed up, creepy crawly outbreak across my face into my lip, the shoulder and arm pain started. This was right before Christmas. The pains continued for a few weeks and the weakness as well. At the time, I had no idea what was going on. And the lip herpes went away after a week or so. Haven't had one since....just this plexus neuritis.

I just hope this is neuritis and not something else. I hope at my neuro appt this Thurs that he'll do more tests and give me his opinion.
