Is there any support for ocular herpes?

by maltipoo, Jun 03, 2009 09:15AM
Hi, I have been struggling with ocular herpes and the fears and depression that it brings. I am only 24 and i feel like the rest of my life is going to be a constant worry about my eye and i wish that i didnt have to live the rest of my life with this. Is there any kind of group where we can actually talk to people that have it? Is there any hope for a cure? I have heard of the Beck protocol, do you think that there is something to that?

if you're looking for a local support group, i suggest asking your ophthalmologist for recommendations and other resources.  aside from that, look for a regular herpes support group in your area; i'm sure they'd provide support even though they're probably suffering from genital herpes - but, who knows??? - there could be others there with ocular herpes.

google is your friend...
i found this:
http://www.icongrouponline.com/health/Ocular_Herpes.html

it's probably worth $25 to get a resource that will answer your questions about current knowledge and recommendations for ocular herpes.

good luck.
