Feel like Herpes is destroying my marriage little by litte
Posted , 3 users are following.
I found out I had Herpes 2 a couple months ago my husband had an affair and that's how I got it since then he's been in denial when he gets mad at me he says 'How come I don't have any outbreaks or are you sure this didn't come from you? He see's me taking the Valtrex and he shows no emotions I show him the outbreaks and he says "looks like a hair bump to me " I feel disgusted I feel less of a woman I get outbreaks often I feel this burning sensation in my skin around my buttocks constantly I'm itchy around and in anus its just embarrassing I'm depressed and I don't even look at myself I decided to join this site in hopes of someone helping me or just to vent Thanks

Hi Jessica no he has not gotten tested he figures he has it due to the affair he had im a vegan I take vitamin c omegas , D3, lysine my immune system has not been that great after I had cancer which was 4 yrs ago I don't know maybe it's stress
what supplements can you recommend ? I'm also 50 someone said it could be some type of hormonal change that's causing outbreaks !?

I take the valrex and I still have outbreaks , I lost weight because of this too I read that certain foods will give you outbreaks so I don't even know why to eat anymore I'm vegan and I take some vitamins Thanks so much for hearing me out

Visual diagnoses are not always accurate, nor are the blood tests for herpes in particular. Knowing that, I would always want to find out the specifics of my diagnosis. In theory, you shouldn't be getting loads of outbreaks while on the meds daily. Also odd how your husband won't test.

Yes, seriously. There is no overwhelming clinical evidence to support this whole high lysine, low arginine diet in actual human subjects with herpes. Not even lysine supplements. The top folk in HSV research nowadays no longer actively promote the above as a result (if indeed they ever did; not sure), only advising herpes carriers to eat a healthy and balanced diet. Arginine is important for the body and hard to avoid anyway, and too much lysine (I mean excessive amounts) isn't a good thing.

Your right almost every thing has arginine in it. When I start reading I was like how the hell do I avoid it. I do think it's mostly mental. I tell myself this wild caught fish is going to make me better because it's high in Lysine and I feel better!
