The OB is in patches down left leg only. They’ve stayed constant in coloration and intensity the whole time (I’ve been on valtrex the whole time too). Correct me if I’m wrong but only way to get negative test result is either false negative or new infection. Is that correct? I assume if I have an OB, antibodies should be present. Maybe I’ve got that wrong.
If I do have herpes, then one explanation was my wife was asymptomatic all those years, and for whatever reason I contracted the virus and had an outbreak. But what if I always had it and was asymptomatic? Would my body still produce antibodies?
At the end of the day, it is what it is. I’ll learn to live with it if I have to. Just be nice to know what “it” is so that I can try to find a way to suppress it. The lysine, oregano, coconut oil, epsom salt, bee pollin, pineapple, lemon balm, vitamins, and valtrex concoction doesn’t seem to be working.
