Frustrated

I was diagnosed with genital herpes in January of this year, and it is now September. I have had constant outbreaks ever since. I keep reading that outbreaks are few after the first initial incident, but mine have been off and on the entire time. Once to twice per month... I was taking Cyclovir, which didn't do anything what so ever. It has definitely affected the intimate side of my relationship with my girlfriend, and things seem to be getting more and more tense in every other aspect. I changed my diet, tried keeping the stress to a minimum, as much as possible being a full time college student and working full time. I'm really not sure what else to do. Is there anything out there that can help keep outbreaks to a minimum? Or suppress them even a little bit? I am extremely frustrated at this point and it's not helping with the stress factor.

How were you diagnosed as having genital herpes? HSV1 or HSV2?

Even if you have herpes, it doesn't mean everything that goes on down yonder IS herpes. What sort of symptoms have you been having, and have you been seen to check for fungal or bacterial infection?
