Asking for the truth

2 years since infection of hsv1 and 2. My body has not responded well to this. I have developed bad nerve pain on the insides of my legs which makes walking very difficult. “Red scrotum syndrome” which is debilitating from nerve damage on my scrotum. It stays on absolute fire at all times. Nerve pain on my actual “man part” it burns inside and out practically all day with not much relief with anything. It’s caused so much nerve damage that it’s given me ED and when I can get a decent erection, with a ton of meds. Sex is so uncomfortable and painful at times. I had an out break on the left side of my face close to my left eye that has caused nerve pain and vision loss. My ears constantly ring. I’m a walking ball of miserable. Not to add the emotional distress this has all caused. I’m not even living my life. This virus has completely taken over despite my best efforts. My question is, with me being only 2 years into this, do I have any hope of recovering? I’m not asking to be normal again but will this get any better at all? Will I ever have a quality of life again? I’m not suicidal bc I have so much to live for if I can heal any at all. I’m just in debilitating pain and discomfort. Sorry for all the post. Keep thinking something, anything is out there for a 32 yr old male “used to be completely healthy” to live a somewhat normal life. Thanks for reading and thanks for any help
