Hi...what you're feeling is totally normal. I went through the same thing. I haven't disclosed to anyone new, so I don't have advice in that area. I take valtrex daily as a means of suppressive therapy and it has helped a ton. It may not seem like it, but it does get better. I promise you.

Hello everyone. I’m taking valtrex daily as suppressive therapy. Does anyone know of it should be taken around the same time daily? I couldn’t find any information online regarding this.

I have been experiencing this for awhile. I was curious to see if it was HSV2 related.

Thanks for the support everyone. Does anyone ever experience tingling fingers/hands?

Hello all, My brother needs a kidney. He has been on dialysis for several years and unfortunately he has not received a kidney while on the transplant list. I have decided that I am interested in possibly being a living donor. I’m scared that i wouldn’t be a viable candidate due to my HSV 2 diagnosis. Does anyone know anything about this subject? Also I have been so anxious about getting Blood work done? What they find something else wrong with me? I was so worked up that I bought an at home HIV test from Walgreens last night. It was negative but I’ve been up all night thinking about what my next blood panel would reveal. I have no one to talk about this to. No one in my family besides my mom knows. She is not easy to talk to at all.

Hi. I feel kinda under qualified to offer any sound advice. I was diagnosed in February. I literally cried for weeks and had very dark thoughts. I can now say that I have more good days then bad. For example, this weekend was rough but I’m doing better now. I just continued to take my meds and my symptoms were gone literally the next day or so. Whenever I get too down, I just say to myself “yes I’m scared, but I still want to live. “. Sorry for any typos. I’m sending this from my phone.

Hello all, I have been having outbreaks every few months. They haven’t been bad, just slightly uncomfortable. I recently decided to switch to daily doses of valtrex as suppression therapy. I have been taking 500 mg daily for a little over a month. I have not missed a dose. Sadly, today I have what I now recognize as an outbreak. I’m so sad and depressed. I’m literally in bed in tears. I already try to push it from my mind everyday. No one knows besides my mom and my last partner. I just want to die. Clearly my body is not responding well to anything I have tried. How can I ever move on in life or think about a future with anyone? It sucks to be damaged goods.

My insurance covers my medications. I only take valtrex during outbreaks. I pay about $12 for a week supply.

I’m not taking medication daily..only during an outbreak. My dr requires me to call every time I need a refill. Is this common? I requested that she allow a few refills, but she won’t.

Yeah, I never had an outbreak until I started waxing. I’ve been scared to wax after being diagnosed. I know I should leave the area alone, but I burst one of the bumps and it had a little bus and blood in it. Sorry if I’m too graphic.

I need help! I don’t know if I’m having an outbreak. Around Apr 1st, I started to feel a lot of tingling in my vagina. So I called my dr and requested a refill of valtrex and she called in a 7 day supply. I took about the medicine for about 5 days and no further symptoms arrived. I got a Brazilian was on Saturday. It was my first since December. I was diagnosed in January. So after the wax, I felt some irritation. I had sex that night. (He knows of my status). It’s monday and I have two big large bumps and a small area of irritation. I don’t know if it’s an outbreak or inflammation from the wax. I feel horrible. I could’ve spread this to another person 😩. Each of my outbreaks has been different so I don’t know what’s going on. Pleas advise.

These are my exact thoughts. I just try to make it one day at a time.

Some days are better than others, but I’m trying to make it.

I’m too scared to go back! Trying to build up the courage.

No, I was formerly diagnosed earlier this month.
