Immune system and Herpes

[carefullyconfused78]

I've read some posts on the internet that someone with a healthy immune system is less likely to have outbreaks is there any truth to that? Should I take immune system boosters? I have HSV2 and have never officially had an outbreak but have neuralgia on the back of my leg. I started taking Valtrex a couple months after the leg pain continued and it went away. I'm just trying to make sure I am taking all the precautions on my part to avoid spreading and having any recurring symptoms. thank you in advance for your response.

I'm sure the original poster will clarify if they reply.  That's why I ask questions - to get full details.

Don't read between the lines....

Carefullyconfused78 did not say that s/he was taking Valtrex daily....s/he stated taking Valtrex only after neuralgia leg pain, and the pain went away. You assume that s/he continued treatment with daily suppressive therapy. Not necessarily true!

no you don't have to take immune system boosters.

Have you had anyone take a look at your blood test results to make sure you were properly tested and don't need additional testing done?

You are on daily suppressive therapy, you are taking care of things the best you can at this point :)
