My hair thinned and my nails became brittle but it did finally help with chronic outbreaks. Even with meds it was chronic so I started wondering if it was the outbreaks and the amount of them I was getting caused some of those symptoms. Your body even with medication has to stress out the immune system to fight the virus.

This sounds a lot like what I have been going through. Maybe time for another opinion. My sores on the labia (I am also ghsv1) do heal rather fast but in another area its a constant annoyance. Thanks for posting and good luck. Could just be me or infection.

Hi Libragirl43. Did you get the vaccine? I am in constant outbreak on antivirals and some over the counter meds. I notice when my outbreaks are really bad I get some of the symptoms people have when they have an active shingles outbreak. My hair or rather scalp gets so sore. Sorry to blabber on. Ill have to research this more.

I'm new here and having the same issues. Back to back and no relief in sight. Once in a while I get a week of no outbreak. I do have stress but who doesn't? I tried taking a break from antivirals hoping my body would build up some of its own defenses. I am trying some over the counter herbal and changing my diet to the best of my ability. Trying to stay positive and calm. Just needed to vent myself. I have had zero sex life since being diagnosed in May. Just never feel rid of an outbreak 100 percent.
