water in a container and pour it over the area as you urinate and that will make it feel better. Start drinking more water as the nore water you dring the less acidic your urine will be and it will not burn as bad.
As for the white discharge this is not common with herpes sounds more like some type of infection and not herpes related. It is quite common to get yeast or bacterial infections and you think it is herpes but most likely it is not. Go and be seen to see if there is something else going on down yonder.
The first ob can last two weeks but with each passing day it will get better and the fact that you are taking Acycllovir will help as well. If you can at home do not wear any underwear and just leave it open down yonder to air out.. The dryer you can keep it down yonder the better it will feel. If you have to go out or go to work then take some corn starch with you in a container and apply liberally after using the bathroom. Both on the affected area and also in your underwear as corn starch acts as a drying agent and the dryer youu are down yonder the better you will feel.
If you have any questions that come up ask and someone will try to help you with them. God Bless you.
Read the items as per my signature line below.
I was also recently (12/24/12) diagnosed with Herpes. I am not sure if I have HSV 1 or 2, but my doctor told me this did not matter. I know how you're feeling because I felt the same. Finding out I have Herpes was definitely more emotionally upsetting than physically painful/damaging for me, but having a family friend who also has HSV as well as HIV, Abe648, and Terri Warren's Herpes Handbook in Abe's signature REALLY helped me realize this is not the end of the world...
While I was experiencing my first outbreak it felt like the end of the world because I was in pain and uncomfortable, could not stop thinking about the fact that I had herpes, and just all the other social implications having herpes would cause for me (I was basically feeling like damaged goods)...and just like you, I've also only had 2 sexual partners and have TONS of friends that have had multiple sexual partners and never even had so much as a pregnancy scare....I guess we're just the luck of the draw.... anyhoo, my family friend put it in perspective for me by letting me know that having Herpes is like having any other chronic condition--such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or a heart condition (except herpes is not life threatening like those conditions)--and it can be managed and you can live a normal life, just like with any other chronic condition (and that normal life does include a healthy sex life as well).
As I see it now after so much support, herpes won't ruin my life, but it does mean I have to be more careful in regards to future sexual encounters (I guess at least I'll always have a topic starter to bring up STDs with future partners now) and I may have to start suppresive therapy and take better care of my body to keep my immune system strong and able to fight back.....
Ultimately, you have to realize for yourself that having herpes is not the end of the world, and perhaps try to see some positives that could come out of this for you. For me, it's motivation to take better care of my body and it will definitely slow me down in the relationship department and take my time in the future to really get to know someone.
As for the physical pain, I was also on acyclovir 3 times a day for 7 days (took my last pill this past sunday) and now my first OB has cleared up. I checked myself and the sores have healed and it no longer hurts to pee or anything like that....I would suggest while you're peeing to try leaning forward or just getting into some position that makes it so the urine is not directly flowing over your sores....this REALLY helped me and all I did was lean forward (sometimes you'll have to lean forward a lot)
also keeping the areas dry and clean REALLY helped. I stopped putting lotion in the affected area while I had an OB and I made sure to pay extra attention to the area while drying off after a shower.
I hope all this advice makes you feel a little better, and I would definitely suggest reading the Herpes Handbook (link in Abe's signature). It made me feel A LOT better and put a lot of this into perspective.
My family friend told me I need to take time to process what has happened to me and become comfortable with it and learn all I can about it before telling other people....I would suggest the same for you. If your ex husband truly loves you herpes should not stop him from being with you....when you feel comfortable, you should tell him, but also make sure you having information you can give him on herpes. Seriously just the WORD herpes sounds worse than what it truly is.
Not to down play the fact that we have a very uncomfortable virus that we have to deal with for the rest of our lives...but when you have more information about what herpes is you realize it's not horrible. Once you know this, you can tell your exhusband and let him decide if he's willing to take the miniature risk associated with being sexually active with someone who has herpes.... (again, Herpes Handbook was awesome in explaining the risk factors associated with being in sexual relationships post-diagnosis)
Also, the Herpes Handbook talks about how you can tell your partner...so that section would be very helpful for you!
warm regards,
I do trust that God will bless you when it comes to getting back together with your husband. God Bless your marriage.

Care 2 Ask Annie: Vinegar Kills Bacteria, Mold, and Germs
by Annie Berthold-Bond

Q: I heard that vinegar is a disinfectant. Is this true?
Maria, MI
A: Vinegar is a mainstay of the old folk recipes for cleaning, and with good reason. The vim of the vinegar is that it kills bacteria, mold, and germs. Heinz company spokesperson Michael Mullen references numerous studies to show that a straight 5 percent solution of vinegar such as you can buy in the supermarket kills 99 percent of bacteria, 82 percent of mold, and 80 percent of germs (viruses). He noted that Heinz can't claim on their packaging that vinegar is a disinfectant since the company has not registered it as a pesticide with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). However, it seems to be common knowledge in the industry that vinegar is powerfully antibacterial. Even the CBS news show 48 Hours had a special last December with Heloise reporting on tests from The Good Housekeeping Institute that showed this.
Just like antibiotics, common disinfectants found in sponges and household sprays may contribute to drug resistant bacteria, according to researchers of drug resistance at Tufts New England Medical Center. Furthermore, research at the Government Accounting Office shows that many commercial disinfectants are ineffective to begin with, just like antibiotics.
Keep a clean spray bottle filled with straight 5 percent vinegar in your kitchen near your cutting board, and in your bathroom, and use them for cleaning. I often spray the vinegar on our cutting board before going to bed at night, and don't even rinse, but let it set overnight. The smell of vinegar dissipates within a few hours. Straight vinegar is also great for cleaning the toilet rim. Just spray it on and wipe off.

The eagle standards were introduced by Marius similar to the Ptolemaic eagle to each of his legions. This issue celebrates the recovery of the 3 eagle-standards 20 BC by Augustus (by negotiations), which were lost by Crassus 53 BC at the battle of Carrhae against the Parthians. The 3 eagles thereafter were erected in the new temple of Mars Ultor on the Forum of Augustus. The day of recovery was determined public holiday.

ROMAN EMPIRE, AUGUSTUS AR Cistophorus (3 denarii) of Pergamum. Struck 19 - 18 B.C.
148 views
i]Obverse: IMP IX TR PO V. Bare head of Augustus facing right.
Reverse: Triumphal arch surmounted by Augustus in facing triumphal quadriga; IMP IX TR POT V on architrave; S P R SIGNIS RECEPTIS in three lines within arch opening, standards at either side.
Very Rare.
This coin commemorates Augustus' triumphant agreement with the Parthians in 20 B.C. under which they returned the legionary standards captured from Crassus who was defeated and killed at Carrhae thirty-three years earlier (53 B.C.) Augustus installed these standards in the Temple of Mars Ultor.
The reverse of the coin shows the triumphal arch which was awarded to Augustus on the occasion of his recovery of the standards. This was the second triumphal arch awarded to Augustus and, like the earlier arch which had been constructed in 29 BC to honour his victory over Cleopatra, this second arch, which archaeological evidence suggests actually incorporated the first arch, stood in close proximity to the Temple of Divus Julius at the southern entrance to the Roman Forum.
This is the rarest cistophorus struck during the reign of Augustus with the exception of the exceedingly rare issues featuring a sphinx.

When voting be careful to compare this with other coins of the same denomination, not the smaller ones which have cause to look even more crude. While this is crude and probably easily bested, I would prefer the coin that ousts this entrant at least have as much of the name of the ruler as does this one (IWA at the top of the outer circle).

GREEK, Pamphylia, Aspendos stater with Ba'al countermark
186 views
This BOT entry asks you to consider more than the usual question of coin grade. To match or exceed this 'type' I ask you consider not just the coin but the countermark and its placement. The countermark should have a better strike of the bull and, especially, better clarity of the LUY legend (Aramaic for Ba'al read right to left). Further, I'll expect the flat mark on the opposite side to do less damage to that design than this one. My example suffers from the dotted border falling across the middle of the bull so there is a lot of room for improvement here. Each voter can deside if the off centered reverse is a fault or a benefit since it makes room for the countermark.
This BOT entry is to demonstrate that there are many factors to consider when 'grading an ancient coin.

CONCORDIA, personification of concord and harmony, worshipped as a goddess (first temple at Rome 367 BC). The symbolism of her attributes (cornucopiae, patera, sceptre, olive branch, flower, ears of corn, sometimes a statuette of Spes) suggests the benefits Concordia brings, and indicates a relationship between Concordia, Pax and Fides.

A significant set of coins was issued in 80 AD in conjunction with the divine propriation of the gods for the plague and fire in Rome and the eruption of the Vesuvius. The coins refer to a special religious feast to please the gods. The religious rites required that the sacred couches of the gods (pulvinaria), be set out with emblems of the deity placed on the couch. There are several such representations on the coins of Titus and Domitian, like this denarius with a helmet on a draped couch (Minerva).

This Solidus I have seldom seen. The first Solidi were struck end of AD 310 in Trier, then in Arles. Ticinum started in autumn AD 315 with the issue of these new denomination. This type therefore is one of the earliest Solidi struck in Italy for Constantine. Interesting is its size: With 19mm it is smaller than the later Solidi. And with its thickness too it reminds a bit on the older Aurei!

From RIC: The reverse type exemplifies the times of Diocletian with symbolic accuracy, for the Empire was in many parts reduced to walled cities and fortresses, and it was ruled by 4 men who recognized that in those desperate times their strength was derived from their conformity!

ROMAN IMPERATORS, Julius Caesar
443 views
ROMAN IMPERATORIAL: Julius Caesar, as dictator (49-44 BC). Silver denarius (4.04 gm). Mint moving with Caesar, 4847 BC. Female head (Clementia?) right, wearing diadem, oak wreath and pearl necklace, numeral LII (52) behind / Trophy of Gallic arms consisting of a horned helmet, shield, mail cuirass, and carnyx, axe surmounted by animal´s head to right, CAE-SAR across lower field. Crawford 452/2. Sydenham 1009. CRI 11. Well struck on a broad flan and lustrous. Extremely fine.
The obverse type, which probably depicts Clementia (clemency), symbolizes Caesar's leniency toward defeated enemies. The LII behind her head may indicate Caesars age (52) when these coins were struck. The reverse symbolizes Caesar's long years of campaigning in Gaul, where he cemented his reputation as a military commander of genius.

Extremely rare. RIC 66a is based on the B.M. coll. but not such coin is listed in the BMCRE vol. II later published, except a footnote questioning: "does the rev. legend .... occur with this reverse type?" Hence Ian Carradice omitting it from his thesis written in late '70's. At this moment I can only confirm the specimen from Leu 83 lot 751 struck from the same dies.

Bob Dole Historic Appearance on Senate Floor Not Enough To Get Disabilities Treaty Passed
Dole's appearance on the Senate floor marks the first time a retired majority leader came back to the Senate for a vote.
Bob Dole, who was hospitalized at Walter Reed just one week ago, made a surprise appearance on the Senate floor Monday to show his support for the UN disabilities treaty, opposed by many Republicans. Dole was accompanied by his wife and former North Carolina Senator Elizabeth Dole. More than a dozen people with disabilities were also in attendance.
Democratic Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, who made a passionate appeal for the treaty, said Dole's appearance marked what Kerry believes is the first time a former Senate majority leader used his privileges to come to the Senate for a vote. According to Foreign Policy's Josh Rogin, the appearance was intended to be "a dramatic effort to force any Republicans who intended to vote against the treaty to walk past him to do so."

Despite Dole's efforts, the treaty failed to get the two-thirds vote needed Tuesday, defeated by a vote of 61-38. After the treaty failed, a shout could be heard and a woman began crying in the hallway.
The treaty, which was negotiated during the George W. Bush administration, would have made no change to U.S. law, but required 126 signatories around the world to update their laws for people with disabilities.
Republicans, including Tea Party favorite, Utah Sen. Mike Lee, made a last-ditch effort to oppose ratification by the Senate, saying some were worried about the treaty's impact on the authority of America.
"This treaty isn't about changing America, it's about America changing the world," Kerry argued in a passionate speech Tuesday, accusing those opposing the treaty of "distorting" politics. Kerry compared the ratification of the treaty to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, saying the vote would show whether the Senate was "still capable of voting to change things."

"This is not about the United Nations, this is about common humanity," he said.
