Hi @WCSDancer2010 ! Thanks for your warm welcome. :)
No, I am not pregnant. I am 23 years old, and I acutally don't plan on having babies until I'm in my early 30's. Within time, would it be better to have kids later?? Since my body is not used to having herpes at the moment, and hence during my 30's the antibodies would fight off the virus and develop a stronger immune system?
My OBGYN informed me that I should take prenatal vitamins as it can help improve my immune system and fight the H virus. Would you agree? I am also taking L-Lysine by 21st century. I’m not too sure if that’s the best brand of L-Lysine supplements on the market, so, If you have any recommendations (not just with L-lysine, on any vitamins), please let me know!
I am currently taking 2 tablets of L-Lysine, 2 tablets of Acyclivoir, and 2 Pre-Natal gummies, along with Noni juice. I feel fine (health wise) but my itch down south is still lingering! The itch/tingles are around my genital and buttox. I’ve noticed that you mentioned to other members that lemon balm is a great anti-viral cream? I found this one on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Lemon-Balm-Salve-1-oz/dp/B0002JSQKA/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1397839575&sr=1-1&keywords=lemon+balm+1oz and wanted to run this by you before I purchase it. Have you heard of this brand? Is this safe to put on my genitals, and do you think it will help fight my itching/tingles on my hoo-ha? I’d appreciate any feedback.
I have been thinking a lot about my future, and the time when I would want to have children. I hope to not pass this on to my husband or kids and I am frightened with the fact that it could happen. I know the transmission rate for GHSV1 is low, but it's disheartening to know that I can pass my H to future partner and my kids.
However, I am so thankful for this forum as it has been helping me cope with H!
