So long story short I’ve had herpes almost two years. First OB then got on antiviral suppressive therapy. Missed a few days of it and had second OB 6 months after first. Got back on my daily med. so after a year with no problems, I’ve not only had one but 3 OBs in a row. It doesn’t even clear up before the next hits. I’ve been dealing with this for 25 days in a row. I’m depressed guys. I’ve tried everything-lysine, Apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, coconut oil, and even on week two of this mess my doc had me take my valacyclovir 3g a day and it didn’t help at all. What do I do? I’m a healthy 26 year old whose active and eats fairly good. Why won’t they go away? Any words of advice because crying seems like my only option at this point..I just wanna feel normal again :(

I tried the same things you've listed and none worked for me either. Also tried olive leaf extract and colloidal silver, those didn't work well enough.

I found something that works amazingly. After over a year of constant outbreaks, I found neem capsules and Neem oil. 

I started out using daily, twice a day. Within two months of no outbreaks, I cut back capsules to one week on and two weeks off, and neem oil only once a week before bed.

Totally shocked how well it works!! Outbreak free for two years now!! And it worked fast. After just a few applications of oil, no pain, no itching. And haven't had a sore since.

If I feel any tingly sensation, I rub Neem oil on, and sores never surface! One bottle lasts me months. I prefer Organic India neem capsules and NOW neem oil. But I've tried others that worked also. Both very affordable on Amazon!

I consider Neem like a miracle treatment.  I'll post my other supplements here too. 

Just off and on immune boosting things like echinacea and Dandilion roots (I like the teas once or twice a week). Zinc and vitamin c (supplements or orange juice).

Milk thistle when taking anything else. Just one before bed, it keeps liver and kidneys from getting overloaded.

And I do one cup of graviola tea once a week, for odd symptoms. It helps the lymphatic system, headaches and joint pains.

Hope this helps others who are suffering with this!

I take Neem Capsules orally and rub Neem oil topically.  

I started with two neem capsules  twice daily, and neem oil applied  directly to outbreak site twice daily.

Within a day all pain and itching of existing outbreak gone. Outbreak healed fast, never had another outbreak. 

After a couple of months of daily taking capsules and applying oil daily (to where sores had been). I cut back to taking pills off and on 5-7 days I take, then I break for 5-14 days, and I cut back applying  oil once a week before bed. 

I quit taking lysine and olive leaf extract, didn't feel they did much.

Over two years now no outbreaks.

Posted links to neem studies under Herpes Treatment Zone-- Managing Outbreaks and Pain Relief. Found to be more effective than acyclovir, no known side effects in adults even over long term use!

Alpha-Lipoic acid 600mg daily. I have GHSV2 and I've been taking this for 8 months now. Since the virus remains latent in nerves, this supplement helps keeping your nerves in good state. 

You can investigate more :) 

 

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) – a very potent antioxidant that is depleted with age. ALA helps with post viral neurological pain by protecting and even healing nerves and neurons. It takes 3-6 weeks to notice in reduction of pain.

      SUCCESS STORY: Herpes is an opportunity to built trust and connection through vulnerability.

      By CHT · Posted

      Hi "Jeremy"..... I agree, the topic of your HSV status does not need to be something you disclose too soon in a developing relationship..... get to know each other first....see how it's going and as it progresses, then the HSV issue will naturally need to be revealed.... it's my personal opinion though that before there is any sexual encounter you ought to disclose your HSV status.... I know some will disagree with me on this but, I think it is morally wrong not to disclose first.  This can be a make/break situation for most people but, again, I feel it is simply wrong not to give the other person the whole story since your decision not to disclose could put their health at risk.... that is simply not an option in my opinion.  Looking back to my "pre-HSV" life I most certainly would want my partner to disclose their HSV+ status before intimacy so that I could make my decision as to whether I want to take that risk or not....

      Thanks, CHT. I appreciate the feedback. The whole trauma of going through this has led me to figure out a lot about myself and my attachment wounds, so I'm taking courses to come out of this better. This girl really was my dream woman in so many ways, it's been the hardest heartbreak to deal with ever. I'm truly in a lot of pain, but using the pain as fuel to launch that new business and work with coaches. I also opened up to my family about HSV, so my parents and sister know now, and they were very loving and accepting of it. Since opening up about it, I feel way better around this thing. After opening up, I also found out that some mutual friends in our family have discordant couples who are married with children, so HSV hasn't stopped them from living a loving life. The thing is... all of these couples I mention did not disclose until 6-8 months into the relationship. So now I'm thinking it might be better not to disclose until I know things are very serious. I'll of course stay on the medication and use protection, but maybe this is a better route than disclosing upfront and scaring women off.

      Could this be hsv-2?

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Hey @Lcj987 and welcome to the website. You can be sure that isn't HSV-2, looks nothing like it. It is much more likely to be folliculitis or inflamed fordyce spots.

      Unsure if Herpes, awaiting swabs, need help

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Hey @JackThrowAway herpes causes an outbreak where it enters the body first and maybe a progressive spread. If it doesn't cause an outbreak at the entry site then it won't cause one elsewhere, it also won't 'jump' upon infection - it would be more likely that the lesions are continuous from the penis to the anus. Nevertheless, testing trumps symptoms or any interpretation of symptoms. The correct conclusive result arises when: you have a positive swab; or An IgG HSV-2 level over 3.5 (Herpeselect test).

      Slept with someone unprotected, roughly 2 weeks ago now. I felt generally unwell the couple of days after but I’d been drinking the whole weekend and didn’t have much sleep either of the days of that weekend so put it down to that. 6 days after I noticed these spots appear on the shaft of my penis. Along with symptoms of discomfort in my shaft in the couple of days prior to them appearing. No pain when urinating at all that I have noticed. They don’t hurt, itch or tingle and they don’t have fluid in from what I can see or feel if I squeeze them and have never burst? I went to a sexual health clinic to get checked up, they took bloods to do a full test and looked at the spots but said they saw nothing that concerned them but I’m not sure about that, any advice? The smaller spots under the shaft are just follicles I had diagnosed years ago and non-sti related.
