Hey
I am hoping someone can help with what may be going on here cos I am at a complete loss! I have HSV2 and have done for around 14 years now.
first 7 years no outbreaks at all after the horrific first one. Around 2015/16 I started getting monthly outbreaks around my period I didn’t take any suppression for almost two years and just treated episodically.
2018 I started suppression at first ayclocivior and have also been on 1gram valtrex… I started getting chronic nerve pain around this time, the anti virals stopped the outbreaks but did nothing for the nerve pain.
fast forward to now my outbreaks are going absolutely crazy I have had 6 outbreaks since 5th July and they are coming weekly, most time I’ve had in between with no outbreak has been 10 days. And I am on suppression. This has never happened to me before even when not on suppression let alone when on it.
ive had blood work done an tests for all other STDS including HIV spyphillis and hep c all of which has come back negative. I am waiting the results of a general health blood screening also.
The only anti viral I haven’t tried is famvir but from what I’ve read if valtrex isn’t helping me then this is unlikely to help? What could be going on here? I haven’t changed my diet, not under any extra stress I don’t get it
