Herpes in the leg nerves after taking choline supplement
Hi,
If somebody could respond to this question, I would so appreciate it.
About 2 weeks ago, I started taking some supplements called ‘choline’. I have ADHD without the H and it was amazing for me. I felt I was so much more concentrated, my memory was really good and had absolutely no anxiety whatsoever.
Since this was too good to be true, a few days after taking this new product, my leg was feeling less and less responsive. As I was moving boxes from one area to another one, I started feeling big back aches, then the pain moved also to my right side and then down into my leg. I kept working like that for 2 more days. The 3rd day, the leg wasn’t able to keep me walking. My genital herpes I normally have is on my left leg and left side of my butt.
When I called the nurse about my leg on the phone, I noticed that there was a herpes pimple near my right knee. I told her about herpes and all but she didn’t make the connection.
I went to see many MDs during that period of time but they all mostly dismissed HSV as the problem as to why I couldn’t walk, claiming my back was probably at fault.
Today I am pretty certain at 99% that the culprit is herpes virus that was flaming most of my nerves in my upper leg. In fact, normally I have no pimples on my right butt cheek but last week, there were two new ones I had never seen before, on the sacrum area. It took about 10 days to feel better. Yesterday, I felt my leg was finally not hurting much so I fell asleep pretty quickly but in the morning, I woke up with another pain. As I touched to one of the new pimple filled with liquid, I could feel the pain resonate directly to my knee.
I am on preventive Valacyclovir 2 times per day (doses of 500 mg each).
Today the pain came back in my leg. Since it was never diagnosed that it was herpes (but what else could it be), I decided to ‘try’ the shock treatment of 2g in the AM followed by 2g 12 hours later.
I am starting to wonder if I should complete the treatment because I know that the virus could become resistant to the antiviral drug, but on the other hand, if I wait too long, there will be nothing that could be done. Looks like I will never be able to walk again. Maybe the virus messed up my leg nerves. I am walking like an old man now.
Please kindly let me know if the choline could have been a catalyst for the herpes to jump the bridge from it’s cutaneous location to the sacral area and from there, went to contaminate the nerves that feed the leg?
What kind of shock treatment should I do in order to stop or prevent future attacks of my leg?
Thank you very much in advance,
