So the prodromes stopped.... do you still get OB's

@LoveTheMountains I am really interested in this.... did you really just start ignoring your prodromes and they just went away? I have tingles all of the time... I am currently taking Valtrex 3 times a day for the past 3weeks. Whenever it is time to take a pill the tingles start. I take it and they go away. I keep trying to cut back but the tingles get worse. Please share more about this... 🙂

Take part in a medical trial....its worth a shot https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/home

I live in the middle east and I was also told by a Dr not to disclose. Also by a Dr that I saw in India. If you travel there are some countries where it is easy to stock up on meds with a Dr, such as Greece. I have a friend who is a flight attendant and they get me meds whenever they go there. I think the Dr are persuaded by drug companies to discourage people from disclosing so that they get more customers. It's discussing. For the same reason, I think that they will never look for a cure.

I am having the same issue. I have had HSV for almost a year now and I on day 19 of my current outbreak. Taking Valtrex 3 times a day. I think I must have a huge trigger that is preventing this from going away. Is coffee a trigger for anyone? I really don't want to quit but I don't know what else it could be. I am not having gluten or oats. I have removed almonds. I am taking Lysine and loads of other immune system support stuff and still the tingles won't go away. HELP!

Still trying to figure this one out... I have constant OB's one just rolls into another one. I can't even imagine why anyone would want to go there. Feeling really down. I am also in my 40's and single and I feel that I will probably never be with anyone ever again. LOVETHEMOUNTAINS please tell me how you disclose so that men love it!!!

LostandFound, How did you figure out oats was a trigger?? I am having 2 or 3 OB's a month and I eat Oat Bran fro bfast. Could that be it?

Hey What about yeast overgrowth? It can cause a lot of those symptoms... try taking a really good probiotic. I had burning my urethra (before the herpes nightmare that I am in now) for about 2 years along with a bladder spasm, in the end I was allergic to black tea which I have been drinking since I was 6. Try looking a little bit wider. Good luck!

Hey, I am going to try MMS. Miracle Mineral Solution by Jim Humble. I have heard really good things including someone irrigating their virus with it. This wasn't a testimonial on a website, although I have read loads of those too but I heard from an actual person that they had success. I am going to research it and then give it a try. What is there to lose? Has anyone here tried it?

@Healingjourney I am not sure what the law is in Bali, but I was saying that I can relate as I am in the middle east and that is the law here. I can understand what it feels like to be away from home, unable to get medical care due to reasons beyond my control.

I think it is common to contemplate suicide but it's not the answer. I know it's horrible and scary right now, I am also in a foreign country... where sex outside of marriage is illegal and a positive test means a phone call to the police! Get yourself into a comfortable room. Take advantage of talking to friends. On days when you feel good, do something a bit fun and touristy. You still need to enjoy yourself. Get a massage, doesn't have to be full body, could be your feet or shoulders. Treat yourself to lots of delicious food. Drink Jamu! It might mean that you don't get as far with your backpack in the same way you had planned but you can still enjoy the time that you are there. One day you will look back on this trip and think "Gosh I wish I would have enjoyed myself rather than sitting in my room trying to figure out how to go back in time.' Really there isn't anything that you can do but you need to carry on and not let this 'little skin condition' hold you back. You are a strong, capable women. You can do this, I know you don't want to... but you can.

Hey has anyone ever tired the Wim Hof Method as a defense against OB's He claims that you can strengthen your immune system through breath, cold water and the mind. There are loads of scientific tests that show him not reacting to ebloa etc I downloaded the app! 😀 🥶

I don't think it would get through customs, I live in the middle east. It's is VERY strict here.

Whats " Intestinal Edge"?

I feel your pain and I wish I could say something more positive but just know that things will get better. I think this has been one of the biggest lessons that I can take away from this situation is to be more mindful about who you let into your life, I will do my best to myself first in all future situations. I don't know if you can apply that to yourself too. Take a small notebook and write down one thing that you are grateful for each day. Read it out loud to yourself at the end of the month and then start again. It helps.
