1) what changes have you made to your daily routine to prevent new outbreaks?

I've not made any changes

2) what changes have you made to your daily routine to prevent transmission to other people?

None, I'm not doing anything that would transmit it to other people. Not daily anyway.

3) what changes have you made to your diet?

None (again, lol)

4) what non-prescription supplement do you feel actually helps you manage the disease?

I've not found any, I was taking Echincea, not sure if it worked. Also use tea tree oil soap (though haven't had another OB)

5) what kind of bathtub soaks do you prefer?

I've only used salt

I haven't made any changes. I would tell a new partner but that's it.

I get outbreaks but I guess they're not that bad and I figure if this is 'only a coldsore' as I keep being reminded then my body aught to fight it on its own.

Just remembered I do use LomaBrit and I think it might help - but who knows.

5) Uh, the bathtub at home is too small and we don't have bathtubs at college .

People tend to think that changes in their diet will result in less outbreaks but that's only if what you're eating is detrimental to your health. People say chocolate can cause outbreaks but there's no evidence to back it up. Hell, if you're a TRUE chocolate lover and eat dark chocolate it has anti-oxidants inside, the same anti-oxidants some of these "magical herpes supplements" claim to have that are the answer to all your outbreaks.

All you can really do is just eat healthy, and preserve your health in general, and that in turn should help you with your outbreaks.
