3 Months since first OB - itchiness/shivering during period


Recommended Posts

HORMONES - ugh. But it seems pretty common too. As I wrote above, I took very high doses of Valtrex and then slowly weaned myself off when I started to feel more normal. Yes, I didn't like how I felt on high dose, but it worked. I actually had gentle sex a couple weeks ago and so far so good.... got myself off only once... and again, so far so good. But I'm moving forward slowly and carefully. Also on 2x per/day valtrex suppressive.

 

Maybe look into immune system support too? I wrote in another post where another person is going on like 3 years of bad OB - what I take to support my immune system in hopes it helps me fight due to my autoimmune disease - that H tends to enjoy... opportunistic fuck H is :)

 

Hang in there... and change meds and hit it HARD - it's worth the side effects of getting better. And maybe bulk up a few days prior to period to nip it in the bud. I'm lucky my doc now allows me to do what I need based on how I'm feeling. Less is better but I'll be damned if I'm not very vigilant as the meds are not threatening to my body. Just supportive.
