Running with the big H
Posted , 2 users are following.
Is there anybody on here that does a lot of running while trying to deal with this?
Since finding out I have HSV 2, 4 years ago I started exercising. I have since entered quite a few events and the distances are getting longer and longer. But with this I have started to suffer with more feelings of an outbreak coming. I take acyclivor twice a day but this doesn't seem to stop an outbreak when I have been running or even after sex. It normally comes a couple of days after the run/sex. I try taking extra meds to stop it but it still comes through. Is there anything else I can do to help prevent these outbreaks?

After running I feel like I've got an OB on the skin between my anus and penis. I can't really see properly but it always feels sore. Not sure if that is just chaffing or not.
When I take the extra meds I also worry that I am not doing my body any good. I've heard that acyclivor isn't good for our liver. Is 3 a day every now and then going to harm me?

I would def try to use Vaseline there and see if it helps w chaffing when you run. Hand mirror and small flashlight help allow you to see in those hard to reach places. Lay in back, knees to chest and do a reach around. ;-)
I think as long as you are not a raging alcoholic and are not experiencing back pain, not to worry about it. If it makes you feel better, go in for testing wvrfu 3 mo this to have your liver enzymes checked. As long as you're in a relationship, I recommend staying on it. Just make sure you are drinking plenty of water so your liver can function optimally and not have issues w flushing toxins out and you should be good. I have a friend who has been on meds for a decade and she's healthy.

Although recieving a message involving the words "reach around" could be taken out of context. 😜😜
Thanks again. Hope all is well with you.
