I've turned into a success story!

Ok, so I had pretty much the worst experience with this whole thing possible. I was getting older, and didn't even have much experience in dating or sex, and contracted it and I found that traumatic. Went through believing God hated me if he/she was even out there at all. Figured I was meant to be alone. When I did try it went no where because I'd explain what I have or even before it got to that, etc. I was always a genuine guy and didn't deserve what I went through, but someone's gotta be tough I suppose. Anyways there was a friend of mine I would talk to from time to time, we always connected and agreed on a lot of stuff. Surprisingly, she liked me for a while because we started talking more and more (we live close by so we ran into each other often) and eventually she started hinting at things a bit. I figured hey, maybe I need to see her again and make out with her. So I did that, and took things slowly out of respect for her, myself, and of course my situation. I didn't rush into anything physical because after 3 years of not getting any, I didn't honestly care about it physically (although mentally I did want it to come to sex when the time was right, with the right person) so we just kept talking, eating food at my place or hers, cuddling to a movie, etc. Everything was always going smooth, we called it an exclusive relationship after a couple weeks or so, and about a month into it we started doing it. I actually had erection issues because of stage fright after 3 years of abstaining. I kept thinking crap, she's gonna get scared because I got this virus and I can't even keep it up when she's still at risk from skin to skin contact, etc...but the thing is, she never looked at it like "I can get this virus" or anything like that. All she saw was "it doesn't make you who you are" and when we were spending time in bed together, I got over my stage fright and...well, the rest is history because we're having the best of times together. We say I love you every day, share each other's deepest and darkest secrets, keep everything honest, spend time with our families, and of course cuddle every night after having some truly fantastic sex. So far she shows no symptoms of it but she hasn't been tested yet. As many of us know it's possible to get it without symptoms. But she never even cared because she loves me for who I am, and I consider myself very lucky to be with someone on the same page as me about pretty much everything. Best of luck to you all, it can and will happen if you want it to. You just have to want it, and find the right person for the situation.

      Over 4 Years with HSV-2, Symptoms Keep Getting Worse with Non-Stop Outbreaks Despite Suppressive Therapy (Need HELP!)

      By Lulupazoola · Posted

      It is already a hassle getting started with making it.  I end up with more questions than I can find answers for, but stumble on...  I am retired so feel like my job is (finally) taking care of myself.  I have had few health issues, generally healthy--except for the H bomb.  If i have to make liposomal 2x a week, i dont think it will be a big deal.  The big deal is getting the equipment and getting started i think.  I make kombucha, which is sort of like having a not-very-demanding pet.  I dont mind doing this kind of stuff.  But will probably keep liposomal capsules or packets on hand for times when its inconvenient to make it. I cant believe u r sucking down 6 g of AA at a time!  The most i drink with AA is 2 g at a time.  I am currently taking 4 g AA and 9 g liposomal C in caps/packets. The protocol evolves.  I am so thrilled to not have BO's that i dont care what i have to do. They ruined my life.  I am glad u r finally getting good results with your fight against H.  Have u tried drinking the AA thru a straw with the straw toward the back of your mouth to avoid teeth?  I would think baking soda and water swished around in your mouth after drinking the AA would neutralize any remaining acid.  My teeth have pretty strong enamel, so i dont worry about it (but dont do 6 g AA at a time).  If u r worried about acid erroding tooth enamel, why arent u worried about 6 g of AA at a time going down the soft tissues of your esophagus and onward?  Im not saying its wrong, just wondering.

      Additionally to the above and to answer you question more precisely, it had been 12 days (probably more) before I started to get itchy (I could swear the rash started as insect bites, each very distinct - I am in a hostel so there is a chance it was bedbugs). Before that it had been a week or two.  I also had been cycling intensely in 35 plus degree heat (temps were around 38 degrees today. And the spot where the rash showed up is the exacts spot where my upper thigh rubs the seat. Finally, my clothes were washed by a laundry service, and the T-shirt I was wearing that was washed in the same load had been irritating my skin.

      @Sabayou have no need to be concerned with genital herpes. Your symptoms are not those of herpes.  If you have concerns, seek out the type specific HSV testing.
