Nigella No suppresive meds and they were ramping up I would take acyclavir for every time they came which was about a week after I would be done the pills it was really frustrating, finally I went and got the suppressive pills!! It was horrible.... I'm breast feeding as well, that's kinda why I didn't want to go on the everyday pill, I don't know what it would do to my boy! But I was so stressed out I couldn't stand it anymore! Now I have not been happier, no nothin since I started the suppression meds!! Yay, but still worry about the side effects... Dilemmagirl I couldn't imagine being that far away from my family!! I've been trying to deal the same way, just being positive helps a lot... I believe that when I stress it makes the ob more frequent, which turns into a vicious circle cuz when I OB I stress. Bad combo, I started taking suppression pills to help and they are a mind saver.. Are you or have you thought about them?? I'm here to help in anyway I can if you need to chat hit me up I'm always open for convo

Why has nobody but you adrial responded to my post???

I'm new to being open about having herpes, I have been silently reading this forum for about a month... I thought it was about time to come outta the closet so to speak. Ive had herpes for over a year now and what a ride, ups and downs all arounds. I've found peace with it, and have a wonderful man that stands beside me. But I still find myself being secret about episodes, they have been frequent recently and I'm not sure why.. Maybe stress of other things in my life, I'm hoping to correct whatever it is. I also find myself more irritable when I'm coming up to an outbreak, is there a reason for this? Could it possibly be because I'm scared to confess even to myself that its happening? I'm still easily affected by it, and I get really sad but it doesn't last as long as it use to! Thanks everyone on here for being awesome!!

Your not rambling, your getting things off you chest which is needed! Your doc is so totally wrong, they can take blood and find out if your body has built antibodies and they can tell if its an old episode or a new one!! I went through the whole process when my son was born, he ended up in the hospital two days after he was born because I had an episode right before his delivery, wanna talk about stress!! My brand new baby hooked up to iv with acyclavir, everything is fine with him, I had antibodies that I passed on! Pheww, but his father blames me everyday for potentially hurting him, I don't think we will be able to continue being a family because of this! Cheer up Cam life is beautiful dont ever forget who you are!!
