Oh I did when I was first diagnosed - it was hellish.
It took me 9 months to get diagnosed with bacterial vaginitis, and that secondary infection kept herpes alive and kicking for a long time. As soon as I got that taken care, herpes calmed down tremendously. Ask your doctor to check you for yeast, BV, and other STDs. Itching is a classic symptom of BV and yeast.
Since it seems like you have genital herpes type 1 (and how did your doctor arrive at this conclusion), you may not need suppression.
Assuming that you do have ghsv1, typically, it recurs a lot less frequently, and it sheds a lot less than ghsv2. (The number indicates the strain, not the location, of the virus). Many people never get another recurrence after their primary (or after they cure their secondary infections, which are quite common).
Because it recurs less frequently, sheds a lot less frequently, and about half the adult population already has hsv1 orally (even if they never get a cold sore, they can still have it - 90% never get a cold sore), you are very unlikely to ever transmit it.
Now - find out if the doctor did a type specific culture on you when he diagnosed you. If he did, and it says hsv1, then yes, you have genital hsv1, which is a result of oral sex.
If he didn't, you can get a blood test to find out. It's called a type specific IgG blood test. It can take up to 4 months to show positive on this test, but many will much sooner - the average is 6 weeks. I did at 4 weeks.
DO NOT let your doctor do an IgM test - it's unreliable, cross reacts with other herpes family viruses like chicken pox, and shouldn't be done on adults.
If you test now, and are negative, test again at 4 months. If you are positive later, and negative now, that means this is indeed a new infection. Given that it's already been a month, you may already test positive for type 1, if that's what you have. It would be good to test at 4 months to make sure it's not hsv2, or to get an outbreak typed if you get another one. (That would be ideal, if it hasn't already happened - then you'll know for sure what type you have where. The blood test can only tell you what type you have, not where it's located. If you test positive now for type 1, it could mean that you have a pre-existing oral hsv1 infection.)
You can read more about testing, transmission, etc., in the Herpes Handbook. It's free, and written by one of the world's leading experts on herpes - https://westoverheights.com/herpes/the-updated-herpes-handbook/
I've given you a lot of info, so to recap:
1) Get checked for yeast, BV, and other STDs.
2) Find out if your doctor did any typing.
3) If not, do IgG blood tests at the proper time
And hang in there! I have had hsv2 for 15+ years. I promise you it gets better.
