Yes L-lysine really helps me, I disagree it is not a myth, my life was complete hell before it and if I miss a dose I can feel the herpes attacking my immune system. I buy it in powdered form and mix it into a drink as I think this is easier on my body. The tablets were giving me hard stools. I'm also curious about whether it effects my cycle. Maybe it is the stress of herpes on our bodies that is affecting our cycles?
Lysine has helped with my outbreaks but my periods has stopped as well .. I only take natural vitamins for my herpes and they all work lemon balm lysine and red migraine let me know what your doctor says
it's the valtrex keeping you from having herpes recurrences, not the lysine. lysine is one of the biggest herpes myths out there!!
nothing about lysine should affect your menstrual cycle either. continue to follow up on those issues with your gyn.

I thought so too and in fact took it for several months and didnt see any results. Valtrex is the only thing that works for me. I had read on here for the first time that recent studies so it to be ineffective but some people still swear by it.
Really? I've read plenty of articles that actually contradict the ineffective statements. Nonetheless, I am going to cease taking them. I wonder how long before it is out of my system. I have only began retaking them this past week.
Lysine isnt proven to be effective. Valtrex is more than enough. Stop taking it and see what happens.
