Hey!

So I have had this outbreak for 5 days now and the symptoms are not letting up. Any suggests as to remedies that could provide immediate/relatively fast relief while I wait to see a doctor. I also have an up coming exam and would hate to be in this much pain as its to distracting!

Thanks

    See if U can get a hold of Lidocaine. Very soothing & Aveeno warm bath-20 minutes 2-3 times a day until U can get to UR OB/GYN. It's the only thing I've found so far & I'm still new to this mess myself. Good Luck Darlin'.

    Make sure you're getting enough sleep, and keep your stress levels all the way down.

      I wish it were that simple. Even on 3 2mg Xanax per day-that doesn't work. I've been like this all my life + I have insomnia. Great huh?!

    Only rest well and eat healthy can release. Extremely tired when the virus attacks.
