Silliness

I'm sure it's just the temperature. A fan and lowering the thermostat a couple degrees did the truck. I was just making sure for my comfort.

A guy I have been seeing - fully aware and accepting of risk- told me he has been sweating at night. Could this be a symptom? He hasn't had any sort of outbreak. But I don't know. You guys know more than me ...

I was almost useless on the 1g 2 times a day doses of valtrex when I was first diagnosed. I couldn't keep thoughts for long. Which was hard cuz I'm a teacher... Now on the 500mg once a day i am fine. Although I do notice I fatigue easier.

Have u been diagnosed with H? And wondering if this is an outbreak? Or do I just have the strange symptoms and are concerned? My first outbreak felt like a rub burn way down on my perineal area. I felt small bumps there. Assumed rub burns from te panty liners I had been wearing or something like that. A day later it looked like a canker sore (actual canker sores in the mouth are totally unrelated) there. Smaller than a dime and burned like the dickens when urine hit it. The doc swabbed it and said it was h2. Dancer - she is amazing and knows tons she may have more to say on that issue.

U would probay have the option to login thru Facebook and have Facebook track your data

Thank dotted and dancer and virus - I like that btw virus enhanced - I feel pretty good about the H not getting him discharged. I am dealing pretty good the last few days. Hope "my couple" accepts this as part of our relationship - time will tell...

Ok @wcsdancer - I was reading about arginine being a stimulus for outbreaks- the 2 weeks prior to my outbreak I had been eating apples and peanut butter everyday for lunch (this was not something I had done in the past - pb&j sandwich occasionally but I are a large amount of peanut butter in those couple weeks) Got on a kick. Anyway. Also with Easter and my affinity for candy - I had a good amount of chocolate - I wonder if that may have a stirred things up per se. Again I don't know when I got this but I wonder if I may have carried this a while longer than a couple weeks before the outbreak-- Doesn't affect things as they stand now. But information is always welcome. And now i know that maybe peanut butter is something I should steer clear of- anyone else have that connection?

Wow - thank u dancer. I did read that cankor sores had nothing to do with herpes but I had read that lysine helped but maybe I read that wrong -- I am learning so much from here I appreciate all the info y'all put out there! I have noticed my energy level increased now that I'm not taking 2g of valtrex a day! I think imma get a energy supplement like b12 or something if it doesn't stay like this. I hardly ever take Meds. I have a pretty strong immune system so hopefully all will be good. Think positive!

I - dummy like I am - went to the gym for my workout session a few days after starting the 1g valtrex--- Well let's just say we had to cut the session short! I was so light headed I thought I was gonna pass out! It passed thank God but I took it easy today and I feel great! Maybe the 500mg won't hit me like the 1g twice a day!!! I am worried about kidney issues also - and I read depression is an issue. I mean I'm already dealing with the diagnosis - when do y'all think is a good indicator that I need my doc?

I have decided to do the daily suppression with 500mg valtrex and I bought a bottle of lysine 1000mg. I was looking for this cream from honeybees I read about but I couldn't find it. My question to everyone.... What side effects can I expect to have - I'm already tired all the time- and which side effects should I contact a doctor about. The web has a list but honestly it's everything a human could have as a course of daily life - esp for me in my profession.

@herrytheherp *sniff sniff that was very very nicely done!!! Kudos to u!!!

Thanks!!!

Signed.

@fanc I am curious about the Melissa balm and the the other supplement u mentioned. Where can I get those?

Thanks!!!
