I feel the same way 10 months in and I still have a hard time dealing with this disease. I just wish it never happened and wished I felt normal but I know my anxiety and stress isn’t allowing me to feel normal because it’s just been devastating to me! I’m scared to death to date and tell someone I have this virus. I just wished I didn’t feel so empty inside and wished I could see the light at the end of this tunnel. I just want a normal life and don’t want to be alone forever! 😢

I have been dealing with this issue. I have gone on these hsv sites and most are Hsv2 and I’m Hsv1. I was trying to find someone with the same type but there hardly any on there with Hsv1. I’m scared to post my pic to with the shame and guilt I carry with getting this virus. I just feel like nobody gna want me or except me because of it. I had extreme difficulty before dating without the virus I’m a thicker build but not extremely over weight. It was always so hard for me. I feel so depressed about this because I do gotta lot to offer the right person. I just now have this unfortunately. I don’t know what to do. I sometimes feel I’m just waiting my life out until it’s time to go, sounds so pathetic. For the last 10 mths this virus has had me all over the place my body didn’t take it well. I’m doing better somedays but I’m sure my stress with constantly thinking about having this virus hasn’t made it easier. I’m 45 and attractive but I feel I’m gna die alone sadly.

I have had ghsv1 since July 2018. For the first 3 mths I took antivirals and was doing well other then developing side effects from the antivirals. I went off them and that’s when I started to develop a slight outbreak and nerve pain. I still get irration at time from working out and take my antivirals from time to time to try to ease the symptoms. I haven’t had another outbreak but the tingling and irritation and nerve pain still exist. I think it can be worse when I shave so I have to be aware of that now.. never had a problem before H. It has taken a toll on me emotionally and probably why I still develop issues with it. I take handful of supplements to keep my immune system up but this has been the worse thing ever. I heard it’s the milder form as well. I also heard it can take up to a year for it to calm down in your system too.

I do have obe question. What are the side effects of taking lysine for a very longtime in daily basis, does it damage kidney? Also if I stop ot after taking for a certain period of time on regular basis will I start getting obs?
That I’m unsure of. I have went without it with no outbreaks. I ran out and haven’t taken in a while. I guess it depends on your body. My doctor knows I take it.

Hey everyone! I think it’s helpful to see what everyone is taking supplements wise.. can u please share with the group so we can see what’s working for some and what maybe isn’t! Thank you all so much it’s appreciated!!

I’m interested to know and the dosages.

Hey everyone.. just recently started looking into some online dating sites. I’m curious if anyone noticed that on sites for ppl with herpes that there are barely anyone on there with Hsv1. I seen mostly HSV2 profiles. Is this because more ppl have Hsv1 verses HSV2? I’m just wondering why this is this way. Most profiles indicate that their condition isn’t a big deal only skin condition?? Anyways any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

It took me 3 and half weeks to heal and I was on antivirals for about 3 mths then started having side effects and stopped taking them got hurt from a workout routine. I only didn’t workout for a couple days. Once I stopped antivirals then I started experiencing more symptoms I started getting nerve issues and 2 minor outbreaks on my back and in the crack of my butt. I have still stopped the antivirals because the dude effects were to much for me. My issue still remains with nerve issues and tingling in my legs and butt area.. I hoping this will eventually go away because sometimes it’s there and sometimes it’s not. I’m 8 mths in on getting Hsv1 gential.

JO150,
although I am always grateful of support and encouragement when I’m feeling low about this, it makes no difference if you contract it at 18 or 45. I’m in my prime sexually now. I have the confidence I never had as a youngster at last! Or I did 😞. The emotional impact will be the same. Devastating. And I certainly don’t consider myself lucky because I contracted it 20 years older than you.
yes we’re older and we have had 20 years more life experience without this affliction but on the flip side, your immune system is stronger than mine and stands a better chance of suppressing/ coping with the virus. It is hard as an older person, you feel as though you’re already losing the vibrancy and charm of your youth sometimes and something else has now been thrown in to make it even harder for some to find happiness later in life.
I’m glad you’re doing research.
That seems like the best way forward. x
Thank you it’s extremely tough for me. I hate thinking this is the end.. just wake up and go to work come home and do it all over.. I feel myself pushing ppl away my depression is getting the best of me and it’s a horrible feeling. I just don’t know how to move on and not let this get to me.. someday I just wished I would go in my sleep and not have to live this anymore. 😢

Hi Everyone ! I'm currently going through my first outbreak. My doctor prescribed me 3 days of antiviral medication. I dont have it on me but starts with a V. I have finished my 3 days and actually do feel like it has helped. I have done some research and wondering if 3 days just isnt enough for my primary outbreak, I've read sometimes for primary they will.perscirbe more. Just curious if anyone has any input if I should contact my doctor for a second prescription or leave it at the 3 days. Thanks in advance!
Mine was for 10 days.

I asked my doctor of this and was told that you can’t get in a new location if u already have it. Only can get if it’s not the same strain. Meaning if u have Hsv1 u still can get Hsv2. I also read this online, however I have read in these forums that it changes happen and u can get it new location. I wished someone would get it right it’s frustrating especially if u ever have to disclose and telling someone the facts.

Most definitely. There are natural ways to balance your hormones like exercising regularly, drinking green tea and managing stress. I started doing qigong for this very reason and it's been god sent. It makes me feel so good.
I had the most craziest symptoms from this virus - my face even started to swell because my viral load was so high. Back to back outbreaks after my period. The best advice I can give is -- adopt a clean diet (anti-inflammatory), take a probiotic, oregano oil, neem leaf powder AND anti-virals if you can. I was taking lysine but i dropped it because it started making me constipated. You want to get those viral loads as low as possible.
This is what has been working for me. I was in serious trouble and thought i had something more but my body was so toxic and the virus made it worse. The best thing I did for myself was to adopt a high raw/plant-based diet with fish on occasion.
I have the berms powder but it’s so hard to drink it down. How do u get it down?
-
Same here.. I'm pretty sure the man who I think gave it to me is unaware he has it. It hit me hard, I had the flu symptoms and very painful sores. When diagnosed I cried because I'm not promiscuous at all...then I fell into a depression. It's been a very difficult road.
Me to! My ex knew he had it and just never told me. When I confronted him he said oh yeah I got bumps! I’m like why wouldn’t u tell me.. he didn’t care that he destroyed my life and that’s probably the hardest part for me because at first I thought after I got I had him by my side to help me get through it and I wouldn’t be alone and then he turned around and left me and went back to his giver. It’s been over 8 mths now and every day is still hard because I have to accept being alone because nobody wants this crap and I don’t blame them. It absolutely sucks and it causes such a depression more then just getting the outbreaks u suffer every day.

Well it’s been 8 mths since I found out I have this lovely virus that has changed my life completely. I sometimes wonder why this happen, because I prayed for a long time for God to take away the feeling of me wanting someone in my life and then shortly after that my ex entered my life and made me believe that he regreted what he did to me and actually was in love with me and said all these wonderful words to only turn around and infect me with this crap and dumped me 6 weeks later. I have struggled trying to understand how can someone be so hateful and hurtful knowing he has the virus and infecting me.. 😢 I know realize that my life is no longer gna be what I had hoped it to be. I merely just exist until it’s my time to go, this is so hard to live with this and try to get someone to except u as they are thinking how gross this nasty crap is. I would never wished this on my worse enemy.. I keep hoping one day I will feel normal and the pain will get easier. I just gotta come to terms that I will probably be alone for the rest of my life.. I’m 45 and still felt like I had a future I no longer see that and sometimes only wished that I didn’t have to wake up to this nightmare every day.. this secret that I have to keep that feels do shameful.

Hi guys,
I was recently diagnosed with gHSV1 and my initial outbreak cleared up over a week ago and I am still experiencing neuropathic burning, itching and tingling all around my genitals. I don't have any signs of a second breakout, so I'm wondering if this is common and if so if it's something that is associated with the initial outbreak, and if I should expect it to go away, and not come back, or is this something that tends to stick around? I'm really curious to hear other people's experiences with this, and also I'd like to understand what exactly is going on physiologically if anyone has insight.
I'm hoping that my first outbreak will be the last, which seems to be a good chance with gHSV1, and of course I'm hoping the burning, tingling and itching I'm experiencing post outbreak goes away for good soon as well, and just want to hear other people's experiences or even get some data as to what I can expect here.
Yes I experienced nerve issues. It took up to 6 mths before it started to get better but comes and goes at times. I was on suppressive therapy for the first couple months and didn’t experience it until I took myself off. I experienced it more in my thighs and buttocks area. I pray mine don’t come back but I do take supplements to help with that.

So I found out that I contracted herpes about 5 years ago. I had got it from my ex fiance. He was the first person I had slept with so I knew I had gotten it from him. 5 years and I can still remember the morning I woke up with blisters down there. The emotional toll it still has on me. I have my moments where I feel disgusting and gross. Why would anybody want to be with me, when there is so much better out there? I have then left my fiance and met an amazing guy. He accepts me and my herpes. I am the most careful person because I know how it feels so I would never want to give it to somebody else. But every now and then I get scared. What if he leaves me? Will there be somebody else who will accept me as me. Of course there will. But I'll have to get through those people who wont accept me. That's the scary part. There will be people who will just see herpes and not see me. I try not to let this control my life and not get me down but it does every now and then. But I keep myself up by telling myself that it's not my fault. That it's just a little thing that I have to deal with.
Thank you and I feel the same. I’m starting to date and scared as hell when I have to disclose. But like u said I wouldn’t want put anyone through this without them knowing first. I hope I can find that special person one day.

I’m glad all u ladies are finding these wonderful men, unfortunately I can’t even hardly get a date and someone that is serious about perusing something.. I just way more guarded now then every before. I just don’t see how it’s ever gna workout for me in a relationship. It’s kind of sad when I think about it but I’m so scared.. I have been screwed over to many times my poor heart can hardly handle anymore trauma.
