Hi everyone - I'm finally at the end of this first OB for over a month, and was wondering if I should continue on a lower dose of the anti-viral meds or just use lysine? I just ordered 1000 MG, but it appears from a little research that just the Lysine is pretty effective? It seems like some take it every day, and others when they feel an OB coming on -- Any experience with just taking Lysine? Thanks so much for any information! Scout

Hi there - At my ripe young age of 61, I broke out with this lovely virus around 5 weeks ago -- yup, still feeling the remnants that will hopefully go away SOON -- terrible pain in my butt by my sciatica, bad aching down my leg, and calf and foot almost numb. We all know the other lovely symptoms 'down there' that start off with a bang. It must have stayed dormant in my system for YEARS... Anyway, I think this site is still reviewing me joining this site, so I don't know when this well post. I could really use a friend/mentor woman who is a older (40+?) and has dealt with this for awhile. It does make you feel so alone, but I was so encouraged to see sites like this that are FREE since I am on a very tight budget to boot. I am on the megadose of the anti-viral meds, just ordered some lysine for what that is worth, no sugar, but not ready to give up coffee. I really think that stress is the #1 trigger, but just my opinion 🙂 Thank you so much, and many thanks for starting this site. With the utmost compassion, Scout

I totally agree with "My Dog" -- Apparently my virus stayed dormant for YEARS until I got it last month. You ARE a carrier, and if I was a guy who caught it from you I would feel completely lied to and duped. Think of others, and try dating men with the same? Be patient and love will happen.💌
