  1. @lasko I am sorry to hear that you're feeling the itch down south! It will go away - you first need to get checked by your OBGYN. I had constant itching/tingles down south throughout April and thought it was herpes - however; my OBGYN found out that it was the case of yeast infection. Gave me diflucan pill and I bought vaginal cream to help cope with it as well. The itching went away within 1.5 weeks or so - and I feel MUCH better. I know it can be very uncomfortable, hang in there, and yes go commando at night. You should get checked out ASAP.
  2. @WCSDancer2010 Thanks for the feedback! :) For the PreNatal vitamin..I am assuming it’s because of the high percentage of omega 3 fatty acids? It seems to be giving me a boost of energy as I've been neglecting caffeine.. :/
  3. Hi All!! Has anyone used lemon balm for genital H?? Any feedback? Does it actually help the itching? I've been feeling rather itchy down south, so thought I'd ask you all. I just bought mine off of Amazon..I'll be pretty excited when it comes in the mail!
  4. 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!
  5. WOW! Thank you all for taking the time out of your day to respond back to my questions. I truly appreciate the support that I’ve received from you all and happy to be a member here. I also meant to say *Planned Parenthood for my first post! I am aware that H is not health concerning, and people should think of it more as a “skin rash” that comes and goes. It’s not healthy for anyone to stress about H as OB’s are caused by stress triggers. I am happy to hear the symptoms will subside and that I’ll eventually feel normal down south. THANK GOD. I honestly just want to feel normal again.. a normal young, healthy woman. I am in my early 20’s, single, and was socially active before I was diagnosed..(I need to change this. H shouldn’t control me). The itchiness/tingles have been incredibly hard for me to cope at work and attend my social activities  (sigh). I’ve been seeking support from family and friends who all accept and love me unconditionally. I really need to work on a positive outlook. I will NOT let H control me, and it shouldn’t control anyone else either. One of the best quotes that I’ve stumbled across this week was “One of the happiest moments in life is to let go of what you can’t change”. I am destined to recover emotionally and physically from H and step off this roller coaster ride that I’ve been on since February. QUESTION: I know that you all had stated that the itchiness/tingles will subside, however; do you know usually when? It’s odd because I did not have any symptoms during March (after my initial OB). It all came during the beginning of April..I guess my cold triggered it? I am recovering from my cold (thankfully). I know that everyone is different and it all depends on how well you keep up your immune system, but thought I’d just ask. Also, how many l-lysine tablets should I take? I take 2 acyclivoir tablets daily. Thank you all. I really appreciate any feedback!
  6. Hi All, I am a new member here and I'm joining for some help and support. I would greatly appreciate any feedback as I am quite new to herpes. I am a carrier of GHSV1, female and had my first severe OB during the month of Feb 2014. I was tested positive from a swab test at Plant Parenthood. My first inital OB lasted for about a week (pretty short) and I was prescribed with Acyclovir 400MG and Lidocaine 2.5% and Prilocaine 2.5% cream from my local Plant Parenthood. After my outbreak..I felt very normal. No tingling sensation, no itching, zero symptoms. That was during March. Since early April, I've been feeling a lot of tingling and itching on my genitals and buttox. I did catch a slight cold earlier, but I am getting over it. I am wondering when the tingling/itching sensation will go away? Especially since I am over my cold. It has been exactly 4 weeks since i've been feeling these symptoms. A couple of questions: 1. When exactly do you think the the tingling/itching sensation stop? I am taking my vitamins (prenatal, l-lysine, noni juice and acyclovir daily) 2. Do you think the virus is just active as I am a new carrier to Herpes? 3. Is this a sign of a potential OB? There is no pain, just itchiness/tingling sensation. 4. Will this tingling/itching feeling ever go away? I do have hope since during March I felt NO symptoms! 5. Since I was tested positive from a swab test (only), should I confirm my results by doing a blood test? I would greatly appreciate ANY feedback on my questions/concerns. It has been an emotional roller coaster for me these past couple of days. I've been trying really hard to accept this and move on with the fact that I'm a carrier of GHSV1. However, moving on has been tough for me to do so since I've been feeling constant itchiness/tingles down south. I am thinking about seeing a therapist to help me cope with what I've been infected with. I appreciate any feedback/support. Thanks in advance.
