Wow that is A W E S O M E!! I'm going to listen to it tomorrow! My brother actually suffers from psoriasis and depression and it spparently helps both of those too. I told him to check into it cuz a dowsnt like the humira because he gets sick all the time. So happy to hear about your positive results you definitely deserve some relief!

No I didn't send her those yet she's out of town so I didn't want to bother her anymore. But yes I have anxiety and I'm diagnosing myself with depression from all this stuff. Just haven't been myself 100% :/ I really hope she agrees and it helps. I am in so much pain barely made it through work. It doesn't make you gain wait like other anti depressants does it? I used to be on one and gained like 7 lbs which is a lot because I'm small.

Guess what! She said she's never used it before but she's going to research!

No i haven't been wearing any.. Just tuning my other skin. They're huge lesions it feels like it's a burn.

Yup!

That goes with people talking about herpes I' was in a situation with a group of friends (who don't know I'm positive) they were talking about getting herpes from a drink everyone was chiming in and I cut them off and said that's not how you get herpes idiots it's from skin to skin contact, educate yourselves. CRICKETS.. Not one peraon said a single word besides or really I didn't know that. They all felt stupid and uneducated because ....... They were!

Ohhhh cotton squares I thought you meant cotton balls .. Yea those would be freat

That too! It's just easier for me to use as a wipe when I go to the bathroom. I'm sure either would work! Especially after I've been sitting in class for a while it gets so uncomfortable I'll just run to the restroom makes me feel so much better. On top of that it makes me feel more clean too lol as goofy as that sounds. It's definitely been helping me so hope it helps others too!

Yea it really sucks.. I've been using ice packs because it's been so painful.. Painful to even wall :/ but thank you for the advice I'm going to shoot her a text tomorrow and see what she says! Hope it continues to help you!

Ok I wasn't sure if you had to stop taking valtrex with the ldn because it counter reacted each other or something. I was thinking about talking to my ob.. She's friends with my mom and I text her anytime somethings going on. So was going to see what she thinks about it. I'm currently having a bad outbreak.. Next to my primary this has been the worst. And like I've said before I'm constantly having OBs like you but I don't have any autoimmune stuff going on like you do. Valtrex doesn't seem to be doing anything for me either idk.. I'm only about 7 months in but the OBs are still going strong. Not usually as bad as it is now but somethings gotta give.

Also, how come you stopped taking valtrex? Could you still continue to take valtrex and ldn? Thinking about talking to my doctor about it.

Really??? Are you having less outbreaks?

Hey @2legit2quit does the ldn help with protecting partners too?

Haha yea it stinks SO BAD! w

Same here! The smell is awful!!!

Yes! Those and a squishy ice pack is the only way I've been getting through this one. The quote is awesome she's written a couple of books too! I don't like the tea tree oil but if others do maybe add some of that to the wipes!

Just wanted to share an idea that helped me.. My mom always made homemade baby wipes when we were little. Store bought baby wipes were not helping the itch or pain I've been experiencing so I decided to make my own with bactine! I bought the super soft durable paper towels and a bottle of bactine. I folded the paper towels into a good sized Tupperware container then mixed two cups of water with the bottle of bactine and poured it over the paper towels. I threw some in my purse for when I'm out and use one everytime I go to the bathroom.. It's definitely helping with the pain and itchiness well see if it helps with cutting the on short. Also my friend sent me a quote from Cheryl strayed... Nobody's going to do your life for you. You have to do it yourself, whether you're rich or poor, out of money or raking in it, the beneficiary of ridiculous fortune or terrible injustice. And you have to do it not matter what is true. No matter what is hard. No matter what is unjust, sad, sucky things befall you. Self-pity is a dead end road. You make the choice to drive down it. It's up to you to decide to stay parked there or turn around and drive out. Hopes both of those help!

So I never ended up going to the doctor but i looked up intertrigo and it said steroid topical treatment helps. I actually already had some so I figured what the hell I'll try it out at this point I'd pretty much do anything to stop the itch on my poor behind! What do you know? Went away in two days!!!! Guess it wasn't H afterall. After that went away I Started seeing a little redness on my labia so I drenched it in bactine and then put some alum on it and bam the redness was gone a day or so later. my body is finally getting this little fucker under control! Woooo it's a great day!

Yea Elise I'm really thinking this isn't h because I had a little outbreak last night and put the alum on it and it was pretty much gone today.. I put alum on my rear and it hasn't budged in weeks. I'm guna go to the doc and see what she says. Mama is a nurse and I talked to her about it and doesn't think it's h either. And 2legit thanks for the response I know you're busy on here! I have been having outbreaks back to back .. Well I thought it was h but now starting to think it's something else cuz it's just on my butt not my usual labia spots. The labia spots are healing up fairy quickly now opposed to the past when thy would last for weeks.

I've had H for 7 months now

Yea the tea tree lit me uppppppp when I out it on there and I think you're thinking of someone else mama doesn't have ms and I was going to see my ob not that Doctor you mentioned.

Fyrefenx it's good to hear that your symptoms have gotten better Im going on month 7 so fingers crossed it starts getting better.

I saw intertrigo somewhere too. I workout a lot and they said it could be from that.. Thank you guys for all the tips... I've been doing a lot of them and doesn't seem to Help. :/

So I originally thought I was having an outbreak in the back of my behind.. Starting to think it's something else.. I texted my doctor and asked her she said it doesn't sound like H .. Waiting to make an apt this week. Anyways I've had it for weeks it's a big rash all down my crack and around my hole it's itchy but it doesn't have any white or puss it's just a red rash does anyone have any idea on what it could be? I put Benadryl spray on it and it burns like hell but relieves the itching but hasn't gone away or gotten any better. Please help!

I'm back.. I'm starting to possibly think the rash around my butt could possibly be something else. I've had no issues with an ob around my labia (where I first got it and where it comes back at normally) it's not as itchy and Epsom salts don't help it and I've used the am alum on my normal OBs and it dried it up VERY quickly.. It doesn't help on my butt area. . It doesn't look like my normal OBs it almost looks like eczema ... I do get eczema here and there on my arm and eye lid. You guys think it could be something else? It burns and when I wipe after using the bathroom there is a little blood. Help a sister out please!
