symptom management; frequent outbreaks

[babysteps]

Having more out breaks and I'm clueless as to why...i feel like my stress level is ordinary....i eat pretty well....i sleep the same as I always have and I'm still having outbreaks that have seemed to increase in number and it's depressing at this point. How can I have more outbreaks on suppressive therapy than I did before therapy?!!

I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but try going off it (wean off over a week or so though) and see if it gets worse. It's *possible* that YOUR body doesn't like something in the meds.

 

If that doesn't work, try upping the meds AS SOON as you feel a new OB coming on AND attack it from the outside with whatever works for you in the "Treatments" we've discussed (I think I gave it to you but if not, here's the info again)

The only other thing I can think of ... are you having sex (can't remember your situation) .. sometimes that triggers OB's when you are still adapting to the virus :/
