Mrs D,

this is very interesting. i have had HSV-2 since 1979, initially the burning pain i got was similar to what i used to experience before getting an outbreak of herpes. since developing PN i have had very few outbreaks of herpes. this could simply be because i am generally healthier. i asked the Neuros about HSV-2 being a part of the problem and they said no. i couldn't find much on the net about it either. do you have any more info?
