My 3rd OB is just clearing up now. I only get one or two tiny leisons during my OB but now they are very faint and healing but i still notice some pain when i wipe after i go to the bathroom. is it normal to still notice the symptoms even though its basically healed? Does it not go away until its fully healed?

I was diagnosed 13 years ago with herpes 2 I only had a slight red bump it itched and I had cystitis a lot too. It was above my vag nearer to my labia . Over the years I haven't had it come back that often only when im sexually active I get itching and cystitis even when ive used a condom so im not sure if its the menopause or herpes symptoms its driving me mad. Ive had tests done recently all clear for stds and no thrush. Just wanted to ask you how do you find taken acyclovir meds are there side affects ? do you take it every day?

I only take it when I need it which is when I feel the tingling sensation under my skin ,3 aday for 2 days is usually enough to stop it taking hold ,I carry a strip in my bag all the time. No side affects that I know of ,been using it off and on for 26 years!!
It truly is the only thing to use , this virus lives in our nervous system in the base of the spine and rears its ugly head when we are stressed or the immune his low. I know so much about it but have never spoken to any one about it before.
Look after yourself and ask your doc for a prescription.

Thank you for replying to me. Im in the docs now but didnt want to tell her about the herpes only it will be on my medical notes but im not sure I can get the tablets at the clinic? I have taken acyclovir before worked well. I also take lysine 1000 mg a day. I read on you tube also that oregano pure 100% oil rubbed in the base of your spine can keep outbreaks at bay i suppose its all trail and error and what works for every individual. Its so great to have find this site and help one another and give support. Thank you for sharing.
Have you told partners about having herpes? Fo you use protection ? I dont think condoms will stop the virus 100 % but probably helps as some would say.
