'm three years late in responding again. There is a wonderful french man in the room next to me and I can't flirt with him. I am about to go get a beer and drown the pain, but I decided to look at some old posts. The pain in my leg gets bad when I walk. It's actually a torn muscle that will not repair. It gets worse every year. With all my depression, I now can't even walk long distances.

I know I'm three years late n responding, but then we all have herpes. Why is there still a stigma. The public is uneducated and most people who have it don't know it.

I've had herpes a long time now. I used to be okay with it but now I'm just sitting back and looking at all the things I have missed out on. I posted here a long time ago, haven't been back in a while. I contracted this when I was just budding into a young woman. To be honest, If I could do it all over again I would have orgies, be with men and women and have fun. But I couldn't. I am very sexual and I can't enjoy myself. I have one partner but he's too old for me and can't keep an erection for long. I want more sex. I stopped liking it for a while but now I'm craving it. All I can do now is just sit back and look forward to a life of no sensuality. I started drinking and smoking pot. I sleep mostly to forget my life. So now what? What do i have to look forward too?

I Stopped My Herpes Outbreaks For Four Months

and yes I know herpes is a virus and not a fungus, but for some reason it's working :/ -

I Stopped My Herpes Outbreaks For Four Months

And I'm not on antivirals. -
I just started using an anti fungal cream that I bought at the dollar store and I started taking red marine algae. I'm also taking a lot of ant oxidants to stop aging (L-Glutamine and NAC for glutothione, silymarine, resveritrol, DMAE, phosphatidyl Choline, vitamine D, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and more)... but I don't which thing I'm doing is responsible for the sudden cease in outbreaks. I do an immune system regiment everyday. I use an old flu remedy every day, "garlic, ginger, co-enzyme q10 and echinacea; but I will mention the outbreaks really didn't stop until I started using the cream, the red marine algae, and the flu regiment. I also use pink salt... basically I figured out that the body needs minerals to maintain the immune system, so all the anti virals won't do you any good if you don't keep your immune system strong. Most people are depleted in minerals... It's not a vitamin C thing, it's a mineral thing but you need vitamin D to help your body utilize the minerals. The ginger and garlic is just a blood cleaner. I no longer get outbreaks but when I feel a slight tingling like something might be about to occur I just apply the anti fungal cream and it stops right away, like in less than an hour. I can stop them now with 99 percent certainty and I'm right every time. I think I can say that I am in full control of this, an maybe the first? I came across this by accident but I thought I better talk about it. Maybe I just had a bad fungal infection that aggravated it, but I did test positive for HSV2. The guy who gave it to me told me he had it, I always had sores in the same place, my first outbreak was severe with swollen lymph nodes, I know it's herpes. Can someone explain to me what I did? I still eat a lot of candy and sugar everyday. I eat lots of gummie bears, I drink coffee and I don't have problems. I do stay away from nuts though but that never stopped me from having an outbreak before. So, why have I gone four and a half months without an outbreak when I never did that before in all the years I've had this? There are days I don't do the anti oxidants and even forget the flu regiment, but the red marine algae has been constant and so has the anti fungal cream. I think it's one of those but I'm not sure. By the way, my IQ is very high, my Grandfather was an engineer, I have been told I'm a genius.

I am a little concerned lately because of all the people who come to this site who only have hsv1 and they think that their life is over because some doctor told them that they have herpes (using the h word instead of saying cold sore). When I found out I had hsv2 I would have been glad to be re diagnosed as having hsv1 even if it is genital. If I had contracted hsv1 insead of hsv2 I wouldn't even consider my self as having herpes. I guess that was how it was 12 years ago or more. Most people have hsv1, I don't get it. I'm actually the only one in my family who doesn't have hsv1, isn't that ironic? >:( I know that the two viruses are 50% identical and effect the skin in the same way. I get it, but if one virus is so common that 80% or more of the population has it than it can't be considered some freaky stigmatizing infection can it? That's just how I see it and I think most people once did until all the doctors started grouping the two as one without telling their patients that one is waaaaay more common than the other. I think the CDC thinks it's some how more safe to the public to just say, "hey it's herpes" and that's it. What's even more sad is how many stories I read on this site about some one losing their bf or gf because they found out that they have hsv1. They probably got it from sharing candy necklaces in grade school. Remember how we used to do that when we were kids? It makes me mad that someone would leave someone over a cold sore when most likely they have it too, but society is not properly educated anymore. People are getting dumber and I feel like we are in the movie idiocracy. I would never leave someone over a cold sore and if I get hsv1 too I really don't care. My grandma gets them. So for the people who are reading this who feel bad about having herpes, just remember the world is going mad and getting dumber by the day. Just know in you're heart that you know the true knowledge and that you are awsome.

You know what? Many many people are in the same boat as you. We all made a decision that got us here but none of expected this, who does? You're only human. I think just about everyone who is sexually active has made the same mistake... meaning most people have taken a chance. It's just that most people are lucky enough not to get it. Many people have even been exposed to it multiple times but they'er just lucky enough to have a good immune system, and they're probably walking around thinking that they're something special because they don't have anything. You haven't done anything that most people haven't already so don't beat your self up. There are so many people out their just like you, you are not alone.

whitedaisies, I have had a kidney stone before so that could be the reason as well.

WCSDancer2010, my hormones are imbalanced. When I pms, I actually go a little crazy to where I've needed medication. I've tried birth control to balance out my hormones but that just made me gain weight and I bled a lot. Sometimes I lactate before my periods. Yes, I will have to go to a primary care doctor.

Well my leg has gotten better but now my lower back hurts so this might just be a pinched nerve. I'm not having any sores. I was surprised that the lysine worked. I learned to take it on an empty stomach or else it won't work as with all amino acid supplements. But I had also used ehinacea, co-enzyme Q10, ginger and garlic, But maybe it was because I cut the sugar out and started with plenty of fruits and veggies. All I know is another outbreak was about to occur, and then it stopped.
-
whitedaisies, thank you. Actually I have had hsv2 for years. That's why I am a little worried because it hasn't gotten this bad since my first outbreak.
-
Not to mention it's starting to throb so it's not exactly numb. It's like a dull pain feeling that gets really bad every few minutes, like in waves.
-
Can anyone please tell me what is going on with my leg? I can actually feel the virus digging into what seems to be my hip joint. This is getting really bad for some reason. WT heck is going on, is it infecting my leg? What can I do to make it stop? It's in the joint, and the surface of my skin there is numb, tingly, and hurts when I touch it.
-
It doesn't damage the liver? Good because my leg is starting to hurt really bad and I'm sick of these outbreaks. I think it invaded a new nerve.
-
Ok, so I had started a previous discussion about my herpes getting worse. I realized that I was eating to much processed sugar and caffeine. Anyway, I cut that out and now I almost had a second outbreak in the same spot. I took 3gm of lysine yesterday and echinacea and the outbreak stopped! But now I am having pain around my hip joint near the labia where the outbreak was going to be. The skin is sensitive t touch. I've had this before in my left leg. I guess it's neuralgia but it really hurts this time. I don't want to go on Valtrex because it damages the liver. What can I do? I went back to a raw vegan diet with no sugar so I'll wait and see if it gets better.

If he walks he walks. I've had guys except me with no problems. I found the best way to disclose is to kind of get a feel for the person first to see how they are and then wait a little. I make sure that the person is really into me for the long run. If I think I can trust him I'll let him know. I just stay calm about it. I never got upset or red faced, I just say it. Maybe it's my confidence.
-
Thanks you all. I have been eating a lot of sugar but I always did anyway. I didn't have this many outbreaks before even when I ate chocolate almost every other day. Something is compromising my immune system, but the excess sugar probably needs to be stopped. Other than occasional candy binges, I stick to an almost raw vegan diet and that has helped a lot, but my outbreaks are still worse than they were before.
-
That's nice to here.

Breaking up is hard to do when it's your own fault
Angelina replied to kaybee's topic in General herpes discussion
First of all, I'm sorry to hear that you were raped. As for your boyfriend, you didn't know the risks yet. Maybe your doctor should have given you better information. Don't beat yourself up. My doctor didn't tell me a whole lot. I was just given a pamphlet that said to take warm baths when having an outbreak. Your boyfriend is probably in denial about having h. He's probably having all sorts of confusing feelings right now. Just try to be understanding. This isn't easy for anyone. Maybe in time he'll realize that you never lied. Just give him time and let him process this. -
I feel the same. When I see a guy I really like, I feel like dating him would be inapropriate. I have tried the websites but I didn't like the small amount of people that were available on them because I lived in a smaller town. I even moved to a bigger city to meet more people in my area who have h. Ironically, I met someone who is h- who liked me anyway. Many guys I dated accepted it except for one. You can find the same.

I was always told that my herpes would get better with age, but it actually got worse three years ago and is way more frequent. I was attacked by a bunch of bed bugs before it got worse, and I already had it. I've had it 12 years. I have done everything to boost my immune system, but still this.
-
This sounds wonderful, but I agree with Dancer. I'm not getting my hopes up. Even if it gets approved, it will be years before we see it on the shelves.
