I have had obs back to back for the last year. Was put on valtrex 500mg daily. Only have ever came out in lesions once..my symptoms are burning tingling itchy redness. Valtrex made Herpes mild. Went back for follow up and dr said let's give u 1g to take to kick it in the butt. Well it didn't still had this tingling burning sensation. Burning in vulva all the time. I kept a journal figured out mine are so bloody hormonal worst while I'm ovulating. Dr said ok depo injection hoping to stop that. Well no it didn't so back I went..now the dr said it sounds like nerve pain damaged by herpes so she put me on gabapentin 300mg once daily..like to know has anyone else experienced this. I take daily 1g valtrex now gabapentin probiotics also olive leaf extracts and drink plenty of water.

My humble and personal opinion is yes.... I have had HSV for 10 years and I have definite nerve damage. Called PHN - it's almost as bad as an outbreak. I take Valtrex same as you... eruptions don't happen too often if I avoid the triggers of caffeine, high Arginine foods, stress, sunlight, etc....
I hope this helps a bit....
