Hi @JulianT and @WCSDancer2010, well this post is a long long long time ago. I was just pissed of at that day, that's all. Dancer I do take Valtrex but people with crohn disease cant fight the virus, like people with normal health.....statistic don't count for people like me. You cant find love when you cant control the virus at least a bit, which is my case not possible. I have it since 3 years, I tried a lot of stuff but it don't work because crohn is a really strong disease, which put your immune system most of the time down. I learned to live with my situation and I am fine...I try to do always nice things in my live and I am more or less happy....even without a man or sex in my live. Live is still beautiful....and I learned to appreciate other things :) I wish you both a sunny beautiful day. besos

yep have both. Had a blood test after one year of my first genital OB .Just done it because I wasn't sure if I had version 2 too. swab not needed. I get a lot of OB and that's 100 percent herpes. lucky me :)

I can clear my case...I got it by genital not oral sex ...I am quit sure but who knows.

Hi @ann122 well I had HSV 1 Oral since I am 8 so over 25 years. Yep I did have antibody's that for sure. but on the other hand I have to say that I have quite strong autoimmune disease which make me weaker then other people. As I said the chance to get it genital is super low....don't worry to much .

Hi Mani9783, I guess you know the answer to your question already yourself :) Of course you will need to disclose to her. don't start a relationship with lies and secrets....the will bite you in the ass at one point :) But there is one good news for both of you. The chance that a person with oral herpes 1 gets genital 1 is just by 2 percent. But there is a chance because I am the prove. She was from beginning honest with you, so please do the same. You care about her ...so tell her how much you care and like her and just be honest. I am really sure ,if she care the same about you she will can live with this one or two percent risk to get genital HSV 1. I wish you both the best. Keep us updated Have a wonderful day ( hope its less rainy then Barcelona ) Big Hug

Hi yep its absolutely normal. usually the OB is on the same spot but I get OB on different locations.....H just chose one area more often then the other......what a strange virus it is, have his fucking own mind :)

Hi, well I do have H1 oral since over 20 years and the chance to get it genital was just by 2 percent but I was one of the unlucky ones of that statistic :( . Usually people with H1 have less issues but it always deepens on your immune system. I had quit a lot of issues in the last years but that's because I have a auto immune sickness, if you are usually a healthy person you shouldn't have to much problem with it...cant promise you that it will not come back but maybe you lucky and your body deal with it quit well.....you will need to be patient and see what will happen in the next month. Try to stay healthy and to live not to stressfully live ,then you should be fine.

Hi, well the period is such a big trigger but it will get better with the time, just make sure not to shave at that time......the hormones' run crazy and you have to be more careful but your body will get used to it if you are usually a healthy person. Things get better..be patient.

Hi, well I don't get flue symptom's, I just get this little itchy feeling at the beginning and this get then more and more and more. After that it start to burn on the site I will get an OB, the lymph nodes start to swell and hurt when the OB is already there... the pain in that area stay for 2-3 days. The biggest trigger is definitely my period, if I get an OB I will get it 2-4 days before my period.......my lovely hormones getting crazy :) .or sure shaving is not great idea in that time neither...well but every person have different symptom's so you will find out yourself after a while....your body will tell you.

wow what a inspiring lady

Beautiful, lets be grateful. lets open our eyes....flowing :)difficult in daily live but that's what help all of us

hi, well you can take l-lysine and antivirals together ,that's not a problem, L-lysine don't help me but a lot of people say that it helped them to reduce they OB. For me its better to just avoid argine food like nuts, if I eat nut chocolate I get in the next 4-12 hours an OB.(just chocolate is no problem )...but this deepens on every person , a lot of people don't have any problems with that ,you need to sort that out for yourself, your body will tell you. The best is to eat a lot of healthy food like veggies (best raw or stewed not cooked )and fish , I usually eat that plus a lot of herbals in my food, self made juice (usually most part is out of veggies and bit fruit) and since I ate chia in the morning ,plus couple cups of sage and thymine tea per day my itching feeling got 80 percent less( I had nearly every day itchy feeling for 2 years )...so not sure what actually helped but I feel much more relaxed..have a good weekend.Judith

Yep she did and she make my day ....amazing girl she is

hi, its just a great video I found today about a inspiring girl with Multiple sclerosis who keeps up running and don't give up her dreams . This website is for me not just about H , its a website of connection, education and acceptance what we can go through , have nothing to do if we deserve or not , it can just happen. We still great person whatever disease we have. She suffering of a autoimmune sickness like me , which means our body fight against us., I went today to gym too and felt quit bad after 50 minutes but it doesn't matter because we keep up running and try to make the best of our live,maybe she do even more then me......she is really inspiring ,to get MS in that young age have to be hard.....keep on running Kayla. I send you some love and light. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdLEmE138xA

thanks, was not sure how I can post a video directly.

Like that link of Nick Vujicic , he is smart., I think this one is a video from the same guy you posted a video off...people should connect in a different way...its great to meet on that website but its great to talk personally.... I hate if people look at they phones and talk to me on the same site...unrespect full.even its not a Motivational Videos, its a video to be human, to be connected http://themetapicture.com/if-this-video-doesnt-convince-you/

love the Nick Vujicic story :)what a smart guy

Hi, well l-lysine is good to prevent herpes OB, L-arginine is not good for H ( check out the food with and without ). For a lot of people Lysine help to reduce the H OB.....but it don't need to have affect on all people( like me ). For the itching feeling I would suggest you to eat every morning Chia and drink couple of tea cups of Sage und Thymine:: it helped me to reduce the itching , even my body react quit bad on H 1 genital.. My symptom's got over 80 percent less.Give it a try , this tea is cheap and cant harm you anyway. Well Cha is quit expensive in Europe but it comes from Mexico ,so it will probably cheaper in your area.

Hi, Zovirax its for me nothing what help much for herpes , it just a thing pharmacy industries make money off...sure it have zinc and stuff inside but I think you get better results of natural treatment. You just diagnosed 2 weeks ago , so its quit usual that you get another OB, your body still fight the virus...it needs a while till you build up the antibody's......its your choice to take the pills or not ,sure it will help to reduce the coming OB (if it come )but on the same way your body needs to learn to fight the virus. If you get currently OB in the next weeks I would suggest a anti viral therapy, if not just let your immune system make the rest....your body will tell you what to do next, just listen to your symptoms......even it needs a while to figure out what symptom's mean what....soon you will understand you body reactions and you will know if Valtrex is necessary or not. Big hug.Judith

Hi, the woman are right , use your voice to help so many others that maybe did not feel as confident as you do .....go for it and make it to all of us a shameless live....great person you are. Thanks for sharing....go on with it, send you good spirit for the next groups you invited for...go and make a difference. Have a great day Peggy.

Hi, well if you don't think you need the pills and you feel bad when you take them , don't take them ...listen to your body ,your body knows more then your doctor. Sure you can get OB with Valtrex , its just good to protect your sexual partner or for people with a cronical disease. I have Crohn disease and I need to take them because I have 2 big OB every month if I don't. With Valtrex I get every 2-3 month one small OB , so for some people its necessary ,for the most I wouldn't suggest the medication. I tried several natural treatments but for me it didn't work. A lot of people swear on L Lysine , maybe you should give it a try. I just found one thing ,which reduce the itchy feeling and its to drink every day several cups of thyme and sage tea.....it helps for me...if you have an issue with that you can give it a try. The rest is healthy lifestyle, a lot of good ecological veggies and fruit.(even I cant afford the ecological ones the whole month). Tell your gyn that you don't wane take the pills , its your body, its your choice...you don't need to explain yourself.have a good day

29 genital , oral 10

HI, for me shaving was long time a problem , I prefer to cut it short. Shaving can make skin irritation and this is always a trigger for an OB. Not sure if you male or female but never shave short before or in your period if you female....that's the biggest trigger of all.

yup , H is much easier to write...I don't mind if we call it H or Herpes.....we accept both words or letters :) have nothing to do with acception

Hi, What we all done to get it?????...you done nothing.,,,its not always our fault....its just live.?????15-20 percent of all people in the world have it, even the most have no symptom's. I was sleeping with all my partners with condoms and I have H and HPV...I done nothing, you did nothing.....first important thing is to accept that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Realize that things like that can happen to every person, it happen to people who were sleeping with one person or other who were sleeping with 50 or 1000.perosn.....Its nobody fault to get MS, cancer or what ever...this happening. Don't put yourself in that position, I done it to often in my live , please try to accept and deal with it.as good you can ..... at first moment its a big bag on your shoulder, you feel sad and unaccepted but you are the same person , just with a little skin condition. You will realize at one point that you will feel better with it, you will accept it, believe me....I started far to late to accept it, it make my live so much more painful. Sure I still struggle at some point but I Feel much better now and you will feel better too ....promise. Miscarriage , well usually person who a that point pregnant and have they first Ob have a bigger possibility to loose there child but it don't need to be. If you pregnant , you should take the last month of you pregnancy antivirals and if necessary make a C-section if you really have a OB .So much people have H and they still get baby's....so don't worry to much about that,big hug
