Outbreak in 3 locations

Okay I was told by my PCP 13 years ago I had herpes. This was from a visual only I do not remember any test/swab being taken. My wife was diagnosed at the same time because she had a cluster of sores on her lower back above her tail bone.  Prior to my marriage I had slept with a large number of women so at the time walking away with only herpes was a God send.   I was prescribed Valtrex and I ended up quitting it having very few outbreaks if any.  

Well over the last few years I was getting sores on my face and sore is not really the word just swollen areas which would sometimes have like an orange crust if it and it rarely did make it to the surface of the skin.  They were not cold sores and would come once every 3 weeks to every 2 months but would go away as fast as they would come. I would also get ulcers in my mouth gums and tongue.  I immediately thought okay herpes but it went away so fast that I really did not pay it much mind ..

Fast forward to Last Thursday. I got a burning tingling feeling on my penis  but that was the extent of it.  No blisters formed then today Sunday I still have a faint feeling in the genital area however my eye lid is swollen it started out small then spread across the entire eye lid and it HURTS  like someone hit me with a sledgehammer hurt.  And a few hours after that I started to develop 4 ulcers on my inner lip.

Could it be possible this is just an outbreak from hell? or is this something else?  

I have been feeling blah the last week and by that I mean blah. I don't want to say my muscles are aching  but they are sore and feel like stretching the next day after a good work out.

My wife has occasional outbreaks but nothing to concern her Rheumatologist. She was diagnosed with Lupus and on some immunosuppressives they usually give cancer patients. She has not been incurred an onslaught of outbreaks as one may think if what she has is actually herpes.  

I am waiting to go to the doctor tomorrow morning but the pain in my eye is pretty bad and I am afraid if the the blister breaks it will get in my eye. I am fighting the urge to itch it now and afraid if I go to sleep I will actually scratch it open.

Is this something I should be overly concerned with?  The internet is not a place to got for comfort unfortunately and what I have seen is about to freak me the frack out.

Doesn't sound typical of hsv. Lets see what the labs say.

Also to add, I do not have a fever I do not have a headache. I am on a handful of medications for blood pressure (not because of High Blood pressure but because I has a TIA last March), asthma, acid reflux and asthma.

My asthma has been acting up pretty severely the last couple of weeks. And I am dealing with a possible cavity, which I have an appt for later in the week.
