[Inspirational quotes]

We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.

I'd like to add that i'm actually a very upbeat person most of the time..... I know i'm coming across as having a lot of self pity, and even being negative..... I do try to stay positve....

I agree with you all.... but my problem is that after 10 years, I would have thought my body would have built up it's immunity and got this under control..... It's not even that I lead a particularly stressful lifestyle.... It's just that my OBs have been so frequent and extreme that I don't know what else to do..... I'm not even sure what they'll suggest for me..... I've had enough... : (

Well my doctor wasn't free so had to see another..... She looked at me like shit when i told her my problem, said she couldn't refer me to a dermatologist or a gyneacologist as it was neither a derm or gynea issue.... She said i couldn't take aciclovir daily as it's side effects are bad for the immune system and i must have a terrible immune system because I caught "it".... So she gave me the number of a sexual health clinic and a 10 day course if aciclovir and told me to come back if I needed anything else..... I am so angry!

Thank you so much guys x

Unfortunately I live in England..... So seeing someone in the states wouldn't be possible....

[I get herpes outbreaks once a month - suggested herpes treatments?]

I haven't been to see anybody like that..... my doctor would need to refer me I think.... He's a bit useless to be honest.

 

Thanks for your help x

I've tried different forms of contraception as I thought maybe the pill was having an effect on my hormones...... That hasn't made any difference....

I even stopped using contraceptive methods to see if that helped, but again it made no difference...

It comes on at any time, not specifically when my period starts...

I've also tried the following and more, but over the last 10 years I can't remember all of them... I just tried everything suggested on any website I read, no matter how ridiculous.

Aciclovir 800mg tablets 5 times a day

Lysine tablets

Ascorbic Acid powder

Echinacea

Tea tree oil

Accupuncture

Yoga

Lifestyle changes

Savlon

Anthisan

Sudocrem

I even tried Panoxyl acnegel ( a very strong cream for acne) which did help the sores heal, but then it got discontinued and the cream they replaced it with doesn't help at all.

 

I've had my thyroid checked and everything was fine.....

Hi....... I'm new here.....

I don't know where to start, so i'll begin by saying that i've had herpes now for about 10 years.

I have tried everything and anything to ease discomfort and lessen outbreaks but unfortunately nothing works for me.

I have given up going to see the doctor, as there really isn't any more he can do.

I think I could be okay with H if it wasn't for the fact that I don't get an outbreak once a year.... I get an outbreak once a month.... at least.... and my latest has lasted 3 weeks now.

Unfortunately i have o/bs vaginally, around the anus and on my buttocks.

One area starts to clear up and another develops sores.

I just wanted to know if anyone has tried intravenous treatment?

I read somewhere that it's a possible treatment if nothing else works...

I don't know what else to try. I'm so fed up now......

Just needed to vent....

Thanks for reading x
