What med are you taking for suppression? Also, take lysine supplements, 3000mlgs when you're breaking out and 1000 daily when you are not.
I worry that sex will be painful for me as well, since I experience nerve pain from time to time and once had kt sebre w my first ob. But I noticed it hurts taking out and putting in tampons, so this is why I feel like this. Neurontin worked for my nerve pain. Valtrex is what I take daily. Make sure you're not eating a lot of nuts or sugar.. That seems to cause breakouts. Make sure you take the meds at the same time daily

2. Neurontin got prescribed to me at the emergency room. I had severe neuropathy after my first outbreak. Had it for like 3 weeks. There are other nerve pain meds out there that don't have such bad side effects as that one. After my emergency visit, I followed up w my GP who prescribed me more. It felt like a million fire ants biting me under my skin on my buttocks and back of legs. I still feel a prickly feeling from time to time at my tailbone. I know that's when the virus wants to come active. I breakout if I go out drinking really late and forget my pill. Sometimes I randomly itch and sometimes and most of the time, my vagina feels like it has a mild sunburn. After those 3 weeks, I didn't need to take neurontin anymore. The past two days I felt like I could possibly feel some nerve pain only in my left buttock and thigh, but it went away.
4.I agree and do believe that in some people, it causes nerve damage and/or inflammation of the nerves.
5. Though sores are not present, I feel like I'm active all the time and I just got this 5 months ago. I was very traumatized over it and fear dating. I usually have some sort of strange sensation down there. I don't know how I'm ever going to be able to be in a relationship w someone.
6. I recommend taking as many hot baths as possible daily and w Epsom salt.
7. I heard that organic coconut oil has antiviral properties. I have even heard people using cold press coconut on their vagina to help soothe and ease pain. I'm going to look into it to take daily
8. Doctors were looking at me like I was crazy and possibly just trying to obtain pain meds, as most have never heard of herpes doing this to people, except for herpes zoster. But I have found plenty evidence of people experiencing this as well.
When I told them I was looking for nerve pain meds, they stopped looking at me suspiciously as the states have a huge pain med epidemic and they have cracked down hard on prescribing.
9.I would double up your dose until you can get vlatrex. That stuff you're on is not as strong as valtrex.
10. You let the virus be out of control for a long time and it may take a long time to get it back under control and likely much higher doses of meds. I'd imagine your viral load is high, from it being active all the time.
11. Take vitamon c daily and take 3xs the daily dose. Knock on wood, I now haven't gotten sick in 9 months since I started doubling my daily vit c. Also take other immune support supplements, such as zinc as well.

No that's not too much. During active outbreaks, people take 1000mlgs of valtrex and a friend who has suffered w worse symptoms than you and I never took his meds regularly for yrs and I feel his viral load is very high now due to never getting the virus under control. He had to go yo the ER cause he was experiencing dizzieness, numbness and nerve pain in his legs and face. They ran all sorts of tests, but concluded it was the virus and pit jom on 3000mlgs a day, which made his symptoms subside. People who seem to have taken a medication such as am immune suppressant like steroids or what not, seem yo have trouble w suppressing the virus. Are you by any chance taking medication such as a steroid?

If you type in neuropathy from hsv 2, the 3rd link in your search should be medlink w the subject neurologic problems from hsv 2. I tried to copy and paste from my phone in here, but it didn't take.

What is your daily diet consist of and sleep? Did you ask him for higher doses? You need to see a gyno and question if you have a drug resistant strains. I understand though, because I have at least some sort of sensation every single day. I feel like my body has no control over this thing and I have break outs at least once a month. I just had one during my period! However, it doesn't hurt me w being on daily meds. I don't get nerve pain anymore and the sores don't ulcerate or hurt. I'm so sorry.. Just hang in there and give it time.. I suspect you need to be on a much higher dose till you can eliminate the large viral load you have from being active all the time. Does your husband have herpes too?

- 3xs daily dose of vitamin C
- 2xs daily dose for calcium
- daily multi vitamin
- 2xs daily zinc and mag
- 1x daily omega acids
And the biggest thing I added, after ewding that 70% of our imubr ysem I in our gut and if your bacteria is off balance, was probiotics. I started t the beging of the week and eventually stopped taking my valtrex. I'm on day 3 no valtrex a d that routine w the probiotics and I've had an bitch like 3xs time only, hut mildly and that it. No nerve sensations, not breaking out.... Nothing. I think for some people valtrex may irritate more than assist unless having n active ob. I do believe the probiotic is what's helping. Make sure you get one that makes it past your stomach acids, so it can be absorbed in your gut. Pearl probiotics seem to work well for this.

Hi feelbroken,
Are you still on your vitamin list? How is it worked so far?
I had my first BO three weeks ago and tested positive for HSV1 & HSV2 and UTI infection. The valtrex drove me crazy and I had a lot of symptoms like tiggling on legs, chill, fatigue, nerve pain etc.
Thank you!
