Internal outbreak only

Hi, I seem to be having back to back outbreaks but only suffer the symptoms internally and rarely have any blisters or legions.

My symptoms are usual ones like constant fatigue, can’t concentrate almost asif there is a smog over my brain, aching constantly, slight anxiety, nausia, headaches

Obviously I’ve tried all the usual recommendations, suppressive therapy, lycine blah blah blah

My question is only to the people who have the symptoms above,

Is it always this intense? Does it ever slow down over time, I’ve had it 18 months now and it’s just got progressively worse, it’s not that I want to die but I feel at least when I do die this will all be over.

Will my body eventually learn to control this or have I just got the worse type of herpes available and this is it? 

Please help someone who’s has this particular version of the infection long term and let me know what the future holds 

Thanks in advance

    Have you actually been tested for herpes and been told that you were positive? Sorry I ask but you didn’t mention if you were actually diagnosed.

      Yes I have,  I think perhaps the problem is, caffeine, sugar, alcohol and nuts trigger mine and that’s more or less everything in life lol but I still don’t get legions for ages, just the internal symptoms

      Sounds to me like maybe the issue lies in your diet. Brain fog, joint pain, and even the headaches can be cause due to your diet. If it’s not a proper one you could be putting stress on your body which you would be dealing with inflammation. And if you do have herpes things such as alcohol, sugar, and caffeine would affect your herpes issues. And with nuts depends on the type of nut for example the peanut can carry mold. Which again would affect your body negatively. I know you’ve tried conventional methods but I believe you should try cleaning up your diet and putting in more food that would help with inflammation as well as the herpes virus. But that’s just my opinion. And definitely try and get good rest and plenty of liquids, i would stick with water. And if you don’t believe it’s your diet then I would definitely see if you were allergic to something that you were eating or taking supplements wise to help with herpes.

    I have these symptoms too... diagnosed with Type II externally initially but has morphed into something much more evasive and rather odd.... but i can control it to a great extent with the dietary restrictions... In the beginning I was doing everything wrong. Alcohol, caffeine, intense sunlight, High Arginine foods especially. All my fav's were on the NoNo list.... I've cut all that out and still do preventive dose of Valtrex and seems to keep it at bay unless I have 'the perfect storm'; stress + cheating on the no no list items will cause an outbreak for sure.... 

    I hope this helps a bit. Have had this for about 10 years....

    I'm interested in hearing from anyone who is experiencing internal systems instead of the classic symptoms as I feel that I am experiencing those as well.

      is it genital hsv you have?

      usually if its oral it stay around the head and neck area and genital around the boxer short area!

      so if you have genital you should have pains in the neck! - i would get that checked out!

      herpes shouldnt control your life in that way! of course now we have to be more cautious and look after our selves but maybe by not limiting yourself to things you may really enjoy it could help the mental side of things! personally before i went on suppressive treatments i was limiting myself, constantly thinking i was having out breaks; then the stress of that was causing out breaks!!

      hi, i have found the best way to decrease the intensity of the symptoms is to eat healthy (high lysine and low arginine foods) also the condition is very sensitive to caffeine, alcohol, direct sunlight and stress. avoiding all these and taking suppressive treatment should keep it down but haven't been symptom free but was about 80% ok. however not sure if its just developed into something else now as constantly beaten down by it at the moment but i haven't been looking after myself. ive had it about 2 and half years now. hope this helps
