Some help for people who feel like this will never end..


Recommended Posts

I too feel like one of those people.. And while I haven't had sex since my last outbreak, I have faith. My obs have died down quite a bit since changing my diet to a mostly vegetarian vegan diet.. although I do mess it up a lot lately. My advice to everyone so far is in a comment on another thread. "Get vagisil wipes for the itch. Immediately. These have helped me tremendously. And a probiotics that specializes in vaginal health. It'll probably benefit a penis as well :p shit has calmed down so much since doing this and I haven't had an outbreak when they were constant.. And this is coming from somebody who has multiple autoimmune disorders. Still too afraid to have sex but I'm working on that part. :) I hope this helped."

I also use a mix of prunella vulgaris and watered down tea tree oil twice a day on a cotton pad. Honestly, though, I think what's helped me is the moment I decided to stop examining myself constantly with a mirror and to just accept what I can't change. I know it's easier said than done, but as soon as I stopped constantly obsessing over it is when thing finally calmed down. I take precautions whenever necessary and whenever I feel sketchy i do this routine. Not looking forward to my next outbreak but i won't let this define me anymore. Thank God I grew up with oral hsv1 because I have obviously developed some antibodies to the virus itself. I hope this can be of some inspiration. :]
