40+ years old ...9 months positive

Does anyone else have any advice on a midlife infection to offer? I have read the diets, took the pills, rubbed on the DMSO, dropped the olive oil, poured over the medical breakthroughs on the horizon, but need to know if I can do more.

Hey I am 42 and I got infect of herpes over 2 years ago. The 1st OB was severe then it was like come and go. I took Valtrex and Lysine. They worked well for me. Also the doctor suggested to use Pinetarsol for washing in the shower for the itchy. I tool suppressive for about a year and a half and stopped. I am ok now rarely have OB, speaking of it I had a mind one just 4 days ago so I started taking Valtrex and Lysine again. Now it seems gone. You will be ok. The longer you have it. The better it will be.

Cheers

Hello Tats Tastic

i recently joined this group and its my first time actually writing something.  I'm glad I can vent and talk about my current situation.  This December will make a year that I found out I was infected.  I haven't told a soul other than my doctor and I know I have it.  I have mixed emotions and am trying to deal with it as best as possible.  After my first OB, I have had 2 not as severe.  What I do notice is that I get very itchy but no OB.  I also take Valtrex and Lysine and in between some vitamins too.  Thank you for sharing about the Pinetorsol solution.  I am getting ready to go online to order.  It makes me so happy to hear that as time passes it gets better.  I just wish things could be normal again.

Hey herpes is not that bad.  I know that it makes you feel bad but I started not to care much about it. I told my parents,my sisters,my close friend and also a few colleagues at work as I work in a hospital. My friends did not say anything just listened and said it was nothing just skin infection. They are nurses and they do not care that I got it. I am now living with it ok. If I have outbreak which I kind of sense it when it's coming. I just start taking valtrex and lysine and always have pinetorsol handy in case I have itching. Hey feel free to chat with me anytime I am happy to share whatever I experienced about herpes.

What is pinetorsol?

[TatsTastic]

It's like a pine oil. You spray to your itching area while having shower. I used it to wash that area instead of soap and it reduced itchiness.

What is the longest ob anyone has had.  I think I am going on month# 3 and am having severe anxiety attacks over it.  Never had anything like it before.  Never ending pain.

I have heard someone say she had one that lasted 4 months.  Are you taking antivirals?

The first outbreak is almost always the worst, so please believe it will get better with time

Good luck.
