Hoping someone here can help me with some advice, or even just a little support as I’m so frustrated and depressed I don’t know what to do anymore? I have G-HSV1, and got it from my fiancé almost a year into our relationship from a cold sore he was getting. Didn’t even know that was possible. That happened in Feb of this year 5 months ago. Initial outbreak was bad, doctor gave me Valtrex and it went away in about 2-3 weeks. I was good for 2 months, I almost forgot about the whole nightmare then. But then in May, I got the next outbreak. I freaked out called to get prescription of Valtrex and had no idea that this would last for 2 months(still going). The doctor tired Valtrex than switched to Acyclovir. I upped the dosage and I still had a few lesions. Doctor switched me back again to Valtrex and simply told me to take as many as I needed until I found the optimal dosage. I’m taking 5 (500mg) each morning and night currently (yes, 10 pills) and I still have small lesions. They come & go daily at this point. I started taking Lysine this week hoping that could give me relief. I’ve noticed the leg pain now and it’s everyday. I was a very healthy person, never sick before this. I don’t like the idea that I’m taking so much medicine and still not getting this to subside. I know I’m stressed from work, and I’m honestly a mess over having herpes so I’m worried all the time. I’m a very active person and eat healthy. Is this normal in the first year of the virus? Is this how I have to live life now? I’ve only had a few days here or there that I felt normal in the past 2 months and I’m exhausted. I’ve only had sex twice in that time as well. My fiancé had been amazing and supportive but I’m just so depressed that this is happening to us, just when we found happiness together. My doctor didn’t seem too worried about any of this, just said to keep taking Valtrex and check back in 3 months. What else can I do? Please help!
