outbreaks lasting months at a time
In Sept of last year I tested positive for herpes and for the past 10 months I've had the longest outbreak ever. The blisters will heal then others will pop up, this has been going on for the past 10 months. I know that an outbreak should last about 3 weeks, I then start to clear up. But then it's time for my monthly period and the outbreak starts all over again. So I get 2 to 3 days with no blisters at all then bam, the outbreak is back. Like I said this has been going on for 10 months and hello, like anyone else I would love to have sex. I don't know what to do, if there is anything I can do. I am willing to do anything at this point for the pain to be gone for awhile. Can someone please help me.
it usually lasts 2weeks thats it, if u take meds or eat plenty of vitamin c itll clear the second day
Ok i started taking Valtrex 500m once a day in early Aug I'm still having outbreaks. A few days ago the blisters were all almost gone for the first time in a year and just when I thought the OB was gone...bam it's back. I'm at the point where I am about to lose it fo real. I can't masturbate let alone have sex. What do I need to do??? I want my old self back again. I take meds for stress and to that, I don't have much stress in my life except for the long OB. It's so hard to forget that I have herpes cuz it's alway there. I know you told me to get to the doc for a full work up but I'm too scared. I can't have any other STD'S cuz I've been tested and been with the same person (my husband) for over 3 years now and I know with all that I have he's only been with me in the past 3 years. I just don't know what to do and I'm at the end of my rope with this. HELP PLEASE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
can I be on your insurance? he he he
Look into getting it filled 3 months worth at a time. sometimes you save a copay that way. I fill mine thru my company's mail order pharmacy.
Also you can use the valtrex $10 coupons each time you refill it too!

Yes I understand - didn't even catch the typo the first time....he he he
BV is just nasty sometimes honey!!! I hate it with a passion :( you probably have been walking around with it for awhile now and it's been irritating your genital area and causing your herpes to be more active. Clinical studies have found that bv causes you to shed hsv more often. Get the bv under control and hopefully the herpes will settle down too. Suppressive therapy will also help quite a lot. Don't hesitate to return to your gyn in another month if you aren't feeling much better. Sometimes it takes several rounds of medication to get bv gone for good :( I like a product called femdophilus by jarrow myself. It helps to replace the "good" bacteria in our genital area. Just if you use it - keep it in the fridge. You can take it daily and when you have a bv flare up - take two a day for 5 days.
