Hi, I am in my first outbreak and was diagnosed 5 weeks ago.  I'm on a second dose of Valtrex.  1 week 500 MG twice daily, but I have begun taking three as of today.  I am on Lysine 1000 MG,  and have also increased that today to 2000.  I am an uncontrolled diabetic and have several of the other outbreak onset indicators.  The sores have been gone for about two weeks now, but the itch is driving me CRAZY!

IT does occasionally go away for a short few hours..but always returns.

I wwould live some support as at this point I have tried almost everything...they all kinda help at first.  Then stop.  The other thing is if the itching is present, am I still contagious?   Is this caused from shedding?  How much longer does this usually go on for?   Thank you.

I tried it orally, but not the cream.  I spent another 40 dollars today at the pharmacy with some new anti itch/antibiotic creams.  I don't think that was one of them though.  I will give it a shot if these don't work.  5 hank you.

I use vitamin b12 to help with the nerves, check it out online and see what you think!!

supporting the nerves is very important.

b12 is important but b6 is more so for nerves.

 l-carnitine is also very good for nerves.

coenzq10, alpha lipoic acid.  Just find a supplement that has all of those in it.

that has been the most helpful for me

      Hey @JS.245 and welcome to the website. The pictures aren’t that suggestive of herpes. Hard to tell from the pics what’s going on, but that could be a number of things. Are the larger bump bubble things persistent? What you have in the pics is hence independent of your herpes status.  The test results are inclusive - most people test over 5 if they are infected.  Do you have a history of oral cold sores?

      Hey, just got a STD test a while ago after noticing these showing up at the base of my penis, but its been about 5 months since I was with someone and now these are showing up. It doesn't hurt nor do I have any other symptom that I know of. I'm trying to see what's up before I go to the doctors because I don't have insurance and I'm very anxious about the situation. the std test was expensive as is.

      Cheaper Amenalief source

      By @lw@ys · Posted

      I have not found a cheaper source for Amenalief, and I've searched high and low. I have a thread called "Pritelivir at Last" you may want to follow as I have a strong belief that It may be available to the public in the summer of 2024 and as I find new info, I update the thread immediately. Now, may I suggest a combination of drugs that several others on this forum have found to be very effective over acyclovir alone? Myself and others have found that taking 40mg of omeprazole (Tagamet @dissolvedo2 ) with 1 gram of Valacyclovir in the morning and 1 gram of Valacyclovir in the evening alone for 3 days have had profound effectiveness at stopping outbreaks in their tracks. I'd like to remind you that I am not a doctor and at best I am personal researcher for what works for me. I @lw@ys share my findings with the forum in the hopes to help others alleviate their suffering. There is another drug combo that I have tried myself as well as others on this forum have tried and that I personally feel is a much more effective for myself. This combo is 1 gram of activated charcoal with 1-gram of valacyclovir in the morning followed by 1 gram of valacyclovir in the evening alone, again for 3 days. I have found that this has reduced my outbreaks to almost only once a year and they are mild at worse. Again, just a reminder that this works for me and may not work for you but I always feel that i have to share this with anyone that cannot get this virus under control so I hope my findings can help those of you who cannot achieve relief with the standard treatment alone. The stronger anti-virals come with risks and if I can help anyone avoid those risks then by all means I feel I have done some good in this world. I only ask that you let me know if either of these suggestions work for you so that I can document it in my notes. Good luck my friend!
