I have really had the week from hell had a very emotional two days with the loss of my horse in the midst of all that I hurt my back and went to the doctors today and he gave me a medrol dose pack I thought I read somewhere that steroids can cause an outbreak unfortunately because of my emotional stress I have a very mild outbreak going on if I take the medril ose pack will it make it worse I take Valtrex everyday lysine and vitamin B complex and still got a very mild start of an outbreak I just want to make sure I'm not going to make it worse if I take the steroid for my back anybody can give me any information I would so appreciate it thank you

Could of..would of..should of...you can't play that game...I did the same thing ..and I drove myself crazy and I couldn't get myself feeling better because of my constant thinking. Once I stopped and realized my life has to go on...and I have to learn to live with this...I started feeling better... I read a lot of success stories on here and other sites..I chose to not let this control me...I'm strong enough to control it!! And its working! Keep your head up and stay positive!

I have finally got a lot of the pain in control, had my initial break out in October, One tiny spot...then I came down with the flu and the holiday stress in December did not have any sores but Since then I have had a horrible throbbing pain, contstant tingling , i take Valtrex 500 mg daily, some times twice a day, depending if i think something is happening, Lysine and just start vit b complex and that is when i started to finally have some relief. i feel pretty good all week, no where near the pain but i work Friday nights as a waitress/bartender, On my feet and a lot of running around, As the night goes on i can feel the pain coming back, and i actually get some swelling. By the end of the night, i feel raw. no sores just very red and irritated. I have to work...that is not a choice, but does anyone else experience anything like this and how can i hangle it. or is there something else i can do. i feel like i am so close to getting this in control then every Friday i am knocked back down. thank for any advice anyone can give.
