I was wondering if in the long run am I better off letting my immune system learn how to control and fight Ob on its own? Or is it wiser to take meds? I know this is a question for my doctor but I honestly think patients understand stuff like this better than doctors

in your experience how long does 'tingling' last? For primary and for recurring? does it always precede an outbreak? And do you still have tingling during outbreak?

hi. 1. is it true that after 2 years the outbreaks are down to one a year? ( so it does get better right? ) my first outbreak was a mild rash with lots of tingling. 2. IS treatment recommended? I mean can I go the rest of my life without seeing my doctor again and managing flair ups with healthy eating and sleep and low stress? 3. What is HSV liek after 5 , 10 , 15 years? Do you just adjust and move on with life? or are outbreaks and shame still liek a shadow behind you... i am newly diagnosed.. need something to look forward to because this sucks now.
