painandsuffering

@Sunset - Thank you for the info and positive words! I'm jelly you even have someone to have sex with.. I've been sexin' myself for a while now lol. I have always had a lot of gut issues so that could be one of the contributors.. also have fungal issues due to living in a hot, muggy climate so maybe I need to look at these issues too. Valtrex makes me feel super weird and it makes my condition worse... even makes my lymph nodes swell up which is very counterproductive. Ill look into testing my immune system. Thank you again.. this is one bumpy road! :/ (pun intended)

I'll keep this as short as possible. I have been HSV2 positive for 3 years now and in those 3 years have probably only been outbreak free for a total of 4 weeks... in 3 years!!!! I have tried alot of different things. Really looking for anyone that can relate to my situation and has found relief. I know most people don't have symptoms so if you have constant and found relief please message me. I've tried Llysine, acyclovir, valcyclovir, and another antiviral that I can't remember the name of. Less exercise, more exercise, more sleep, no nuts, caffeine, alcohol, yoga, no wet swimsuits, no hottubs, no pools, no ocean!! (I live in Hawaii) the list goes on. I've been tested for everyhting under the sun multiple times and all come back negative. I was diagnosed with HSV1 (cold sores on my lips) 8 years ago and only had 4 outbreaks and then the virus went completely dormant. Doctors have no clue about the virus and have stated multiple times they usually just give an antiviral and it takes care of the outbreaks. I spoke to a Viral specialist and after HIV being negative they're only idea was to test my IGg levels for HSV1 and HSV2... which duh I already have both so why are we testing for those levels now. Anyhow, they have no idea what to do or say so Im just feeling like there are no options other then to suffer for the rest of my life. Any input would be helpful. Aloha!!!
