New to this forum, wondering if anyone would be willing to stay in touch and help each other cope, share everyday life struggles, suggestions etc, through direct messaging. I use an app called Kik to stay in touch with friends, but it’s not the same and it will never be, because they do not have a clue what I face on a daily basis. I have been facing this for about seven years now, and there are so many things that I know now that I wish I would have known back then. The one thing I’ve learned is that the antiviral works best if you are also taking supplements to boost your immune system. I found this out years later, after long OB periods with little to no relief. Also, the most helpful topical relief I’ve found are essential oils. Still struggle with diet, and that is one of my greatest challenges.
