    Wow. I've only had this virus since September of 2018. Have been missing so much work and other fun bits of my life due to some of rhe same things. I assumed it was a thyroid problem and just went to get blood work done yesterday to find out. That's crazy you share the same things.

    Know what triggers it and try to limit it. For me heat, stress and intense workouts.  Get on a good dose of valtrex 500 or 1000mgs for three months send reevaluate after that. Good luck buddy. It does get better after your body builds resistance. You need to eat and be healthy. Limit alchohol and the rest of it as well.

    Hi I'm just curious if you had a positive swab to test positive ehile on valtrex? Did you know that you where exposed or did u have an outbreak and took the blood test? I'm on my 5th month and neg bloodtest. I haven't taken no meds and did a western blot at 17 wks post exposure with neg. I just know something isn't right. I plan to do another wb at the end of April it'll be 6 months I've read that's when the wb is really 99% accurate 

    Never had a swab done usually tell them I have it pull it out and they just write the script.  But for me it isn't like normal herp. Im not circumcised so I think that may have to do with the appearance. 

    Before starting valtrex

    I get tingling before an outbreak and then it just erupts with painful swelling and lesions everywhere on my shaft. Also my scrotoum gets insanely itchy as well.

    Recently got it on my face,  tingling burning,  I sing at work in my head " my lips are on fire eeee" but as long as I don't let my lips get dehydrated I don't get cold sores thank good (only had two in my life).

    You can't mistake the tingling and burning, I got it from this chick that I should have know better.  She wasn't a hooker or anything but she was living in a rough area in a rough life,  but we met at a bar and hit it off.  When she said not to go down on her, cause she doesn't like it,  I should have know something was up.  Stupid me.  

    The outbreaks for me have recurred minimal for abit but two years ago were so bad every month non stop I had to go on valtrex. It has stopped outbreaks very well but I still get fever and facial redness and tingling which take alieve daily to control. Also still get genital tingling and scrotal itch and sores. 

    I knew it was herp from second I saw and felt it.  I just literally did blood work last week for some strange reason, I guess to bring closure sort off.

    10+ years with it. valtex on and off up until maybe a year ago then everyday since sometimes even 1000mgs. Tested positive last week. Also gave it to my partner as when I first got it , it did not look like typical herpes. It does on my wife that's all I can say.

    She only gets usually one outbreak a year.  She has no other physical or mental problems that this shit can cause. For me depression and aniexty were very bad. Once I embraced I had it only depression once in a while but aniexty almost gone completely. 

     

    It's hard but you have to make the most in your life out of what u have to work with and do and eat things that give u the upper hand to stay healthy all the time!

    @Shortcake, Hi, was the tingling constant for you?  How long did you have the tingling for?  Thanks!

    Hi guys,  sorry for jumping in.  Nice to see a forum that is active recently.  

    I have hsv had to diagnose myself as my doctors that I went to see were all retards and didnt know what I had.  Just have creme for fungal and said to wash better.  I told them are u serious i've been washing myself for 30 years never had a problem.  They are so clueless on what hero can cause. 

    From a blow job i'm sure of. Rash pimple like then went away.  Never to return for 6 years with any symptoms other than felt like traveling up gi track.  Burning on and off and constant vomiting mouthfuls after eating anything. 

    Then later in life

    genital area with with lesions tingling fever etc. 

    After treatment with cream only it felt like virus was moving to different parts of my body.

    Legs were glowing red accompanied with high fever. Then three months later same thing arms glowing red with fever as well. 

    Again short time after face red blotchy with fever and tingling pain. Then red on scalp to the point my hair dresser said something so I knew at this point I wasn't imagining shit anymore like all the doctors insitsted I was. 

    Tingling and crazy crazy sweats, extreme heat intolerance (cold weather and air I find help) trouble breathing,  inflammation around eyes and face puffyness, upper cheeks below eye across nose to other side red as fire but would come and go rapidly. I couldn't think at all or answer simply questions properly or even think or ACT  normal.  I felt like a crack head  and was acting like a crack head (no i have never tried it.  I come from a good European home with excellent hygiene and nutrition) Nausea and vomiting slightly after eating. Fatigue sore joints,  loss of strength. 

    Doctors said aniexty I said bull shit.  

    Told them I want valtrex now I had enough. 

    After about three months all symptoms have reduced dramatically I wish I had started one a day valtrex 500mg early to stop the spread.  Im experimenting with two 500mg doses as I still get the odd sweat during the day still and facial and genital tingling at times.  

    I did try stopping valtrex once to see.  Everything flared up right away. 

    I don't wish this on anybody. 

    I believe I have had it for 15 years now and it ruined my life in top level sports. I was ohl hockey player and it affected me so much physically and mentally I had to stop playing sports.

    I went from running my own construction company doing labor work no problem to struggling to make it through the day working for someone now as a accountant doing extremely easy work. 

     

    This virus is f#cking crazy and the medical field has no idea about it because anyone with extreme cases die, wont come forward to test or if they do they aren't believed anyways. 

     

    Sorry for long post i've been waiting 15 years to get this off my chest. Thank you. I wish u all the best.  Consider valtrex 500mg every day religiously even if u dont have any symptoms.  That means it's working don't stop taking it

    Guy I’m dating has hsv2 and I have ghsv1.  He is taking a daily dose of acyclovir 200mg. I’m baffled with that dosage. I have always read 500 Iis the suppressive dose. Any thoughts? I’m going to check with him and tell him to talk to his doc but does anyone have any feedback ? From what u know, that’s just not a high enough dose. Thanks! 

    500mg is min recommended daily suppressive dose yes
