I was only on them 3 months and noticed the side effects were getting bad. I have only been off them a week. I have Ghsv1 dx at the end of July 2018 which is supposed to be the milder one.. so I’m hoping I can remain off them and working boosting my immune system and taking supplements to help. Read up on the drug us causes all kinds of issues and if I can remain off I will. The outbreaks are supposed to get lesser in time anyways. I hate this virus!! 😢

@Aries I ended up getting BV after my first outbreak.. I’m not sure if this is what happens to a lot of woman but I ended up with it and had to do 2 doses of medication to get rid of it. I think sore can make the bacteria come in and cause it. I’m on a probiotic trying to get the ph better so it don’t cause it because it’s a lot to do with the ph as well.

I was losing hair in handfuls everyday it was thinning out. The medication side effects causes alopecia and can cause permanent hair loss. I’m off antivirals now.. I’m using more of a holistic approach now. Taking supplements verses the Valtrex. I actually feel a lot better as well, the medication causes me to be fatigued as well.

I did some research on it and I was taking Valtrex and I think the other ones do it too. I’m looking into ozone therapy as well. I got a ton of supplements and they are going well but man I got a lot I’m taking which some times can be bothersome. I’m just pushing through it. Got get on alkaline diet and switch water to alkaline as well. There so much to know and learn from this it’s exhausting because I want make sure I’m doing the necessary things to get my body healthy and to beat this and to be healthier

No I don’t mind. I’m dealing with headaches everyday and hair loss and I was getting a sore throat and sneezing everyday. I also felt fatigued very low energy . My side effects wasn’t to bad until I started my second month and could tell my workouts were harder and harder just to get through. It was like I loss my energy. I stopped taking the antivirals and noticed the side effects are subsiding now. Of course I’m nervous about this because it’s like a waiting game to see if I get outbreaks or not. I’m trying holistic approach plus it’s helping my over all health as well.

Are you anything with supplements or diet changes? To see if there are issues there where this could be causing issues for the recurrence? I’m new to this so I’m just in over 3 mths. Sometimes certain medication can causes issues. But I hear diet is huge.

I agree it’s easy to say hard to do @Vibes90 but we have to try to focus more on moving forward and feeling better about this. You don’t know how many times I thought I’m better off dead because of this virus and what my ex has put me through. I can’t cope somedays. I have family and friends that know but they think this virus is nothing that it’s no big deal. So in the end I’m alone trying to move forward and try to research on getting better on trying to beat this thing. I would never in my life wish this virus on my worse enemy. Most of us that got this virus was from someone that was to scared to speak up and acknowledge they have this stuff to save us from this horrible virus.

You welcome.. this is the toughest road I have ever had to walk and mostly alone. I have only told a few closest ppl of this because of the shame around it. Try to do your normal day to day stuff before this happened. I know it’s hard but sometimes it makes u forget just for a bit and gives you heart and head a break from thinking so much about this. And please stay strong you are more then this virus.

Well there are many of us going through the same thing unfortunately we got see what the devil really looks like. Try to stay positive and pray and keep yourself healthy and hopefully it will get better. All we can hope for is that it will get better!

I feel the same way. My giver begged for me back because we had broken up and wasn’t together for over a year and came back pleading his love for me and told me he could never let me go.. he knew he had it and we had sex he said nothing to me.. I became infected he said he was sorry and that we would work through it together.. then he drops me 3 weeks later and went back to his ex’s girlfriend I was left trying to pick myself back up and now I got this crap. Dating before was extremely hard and now I can imagine.. I guess only gods will allow me to meet someone to accept me with this crap. I’m trying ways to heal myself.. I go to therapy and I’m depressed but I’m trying like hell to pull myself up and hope there is a good man out there that will love me no matter what. I’m just trying to stay healthy and beat this virus.

Yes it does.. thank u

Your PcR was positive and then negative? I thought that test was supposed to be super accurate??

How were you dx originally? PcR? Or blood test by your primary doctor.

Look at seeing if you are dealing with a over growth of yeast candida .. sometime are skin can do this. There are ways to clear out the yeast in our bodies.

I started taking oil of oregano and I take 2000mg of lysine and 2000mg vitamin c, 250 mg magnesium, 400 mg vitamin e, I take 2000 mg of b12, I take St. John’s wort, Curmin and turmeric. I went off suppressive therapy because of the side egg of the meds.. I’m looking into taking collolided silver and now also looking in ozone therapy.

I take 2000 msg of lysine, 1000 msgs of vitamin c , 50 mg zinc, I take vitamin e 400 msgs, I take b12 2000 msg, I take a multivitamin, I take 250 magnesium. I take St. John’s wort, I take curmin and turmeric. I just bought some wild oregano I’m gna start that tomorrow.. I’m gna get some colloidal silver because I hear some really good stuff about that.

Are u on any suppressive therapy? Are u taking any supplements? Have u asked the doctor?

Are you taking any supplements? Diet changes?

Well look into the homeopathic route. I am, getting off suppressive therapy that medicine makes me feel fatigued and worse. Look up Montreal healthy girl on YouTube she had a video about using collided silver, oil of oregano and neems powder.. plus trying to chyyour diet to a more of a raw diet or alkaline diet. I have Ghsv1 which I know is different but see if this can be helpful. I hope you feel better soon.

I am like you I’m 45 I did have kids, but was hit with list 3 mths ago and I think dating was extremely hard before and it can only imagine it’s going to be harder now with this crap.

Nice story, glad to hear that it’s possible to meet someone and they can be accepting. How did the Ozone and UVB therapy work for you?

My partner had a active outbreak of a small sore that I didn’t see.. and he didn’t tell me when we had sex it pulled the scab off which caused me to get infected. It was gential to gential, it’s supposed to be rare to get this way my ex actually had a very small sore.. how unlucky am I .😢

Yes it was the horrible and still dealing with trying to get through this. Thank u for the support.

Nope mine dropped me within weeks went back to his ex.. all he said was he was sorry for giving it to me and acted like it was nothing.. smh

Are you trying to rake any supplements to help? Lysine is supposed to help and taking vitamins to help your immune system. I take handful of supplements everyday now. I’m coming off the antivirals because they are causing me issues as well. What type do you have? How long have you been infected? It’s supposed to get better in time. But I can completely understand how this makes you feel.
