My ob always comes back on its anniversary ! WTF ?!?! lol...Also a little HOPE for you all :)


Recommended Posts

So I know exactly when my first outbreak was and it was around this time 4 years ago. Now its back, again for the 3rd time (I don't remember having one 2 yrs ago, could have been mild) If I wasn't so in tune with my body... I wouldn't even know I was having one now. I have 2 very small visible blisters in the usual spot. Last year around the exact same time I had one too however it was crazy prodrome and hard to walk. This time I barely know its there. Which I am thanking God for. I am a little on the anxious side bc I hope the blister pain doesn't get worse. But this time seems a lot different. I didn't get the razor burn / tingle feeling where it is almost uncomfortable to sit. And I woudn't even know I had an OB if it wasn't for the excellent quality of my glorious iphone6plus.

 

Some things that may help.

Last yr I was on Valtrax 1g generic.

This yr I take 2 400mg of acyclovir capsules twice a day.. I think this pill/capsule is better for me. (Dosing and capsule form-maybe a better release of the drug?)

 

This is my 4th year with the virus and I am hoping that perhaps it has decided to calm the f*&^ down and not put me out of commission for 2 weeks like it always has in the past.

 

Some questions-

Anyone feel slight itchy tingle on their skin in other spots...Seems like I had that on the right side of my stomach the last two weeks , could that be the virus?

 

Other symptoms I had b4 OB this time:

Sore throat when swallowing

Headache

Insomnia

Itchy anus/rectum/ feels like a tear or fissure inside

Stomach issue-gas pockets

BLOATED STOMACH (I have noticed I get this with every OB)

 

Anyone experience these symptoms b4 an hsv2 ob? Just wondering. All of these symptoms plus the time of the year made have an idea something was coming.

 

What are your TRIED and TRUE best supps/practices to keep obs away (even the anniversary ones-lol )?

I am currently on Prenatal plus vitamins, just started up again with Zinc, Echinacea with Goldenseal and Lysine.

I tried Red marine algae pills at the highest required dosage for suppression and they did nothing to suppress hsv for me.

 

Anyway, there is hope. I for one am thankful that this is my weakest OB yet. And I pray it doesn't get worse this time around. Something tells me it won't . I have been with my bf for over a year (I told him about my hsv last year around this time) and we are moving in together soon. I can't lie , the last 4 years have not been easy for me. But if my obs are like this for the rest of my life I can dig it. The ones I have had b4 literally made me want to die. I pray for ALL of you, that your obs continue to get less and less and become a NON ISSUE in all of your lives.

 

My most positive post yet. Never thought I would see the day come. Thank all of you for being there on this forum when I needed it the most- God Bless x0x0

I'd I take nightly Epsom salt baths w symptoms, mine go away in two or three days. However it has been so hot and humid, I just can't deal w a bath, so I just deal w it. Mine aren't painful anymore. I so get the same itchy spots a d tingling in the same places, but usually don't break out. Spraying bactine on it helps w healing and numbing the area.
