Will I ever get over this? I've had herpestype two for seven months now and I'm still struggling. I take acyclovir because I was having constant outbreaks. I'm so safe to stop taking the tablets will the outbreaks come back and be as bad. I wanna cry this is so depressing. Will people love me?

      Thank you that means a lot. I just went from being a confident 24 year old having fun and loving life to be a depressed and lonely person. I can't ever imagine myself having the herpes conversation with a potential lover it petrifies me. I'm so scared to stop taking the anti viral medications because my outbreaks have been soooo bad like sometime twice a month. I live in london, I know this virus is more known in the states. I just feel like I'm the only person who has this. I just want to be me again x

    Hi Courtney! I've had herpes for over 2 years now and it does get easier! I still dread having the talk with a potential partner but I'm kinda in the way of thinking that it's nothing more than a minor skin ingestion so if someone can't accept that they are not worth it and definitely not the right person! Have you been in touch with the herpes virus association? They are based in London! They are great for support and advice and will help you put this into prospective!!! If you ever need to talk to someone in the same situation feel free to msg me

    Xx

      Thank you sarah, I think if I wasn't having as many outbreaks I could deal with it better.!im so scared though at having to come of suppressive therapy. What are your outbreaks like after two years? My first one wasn't even bad but since then they got worse. Xx

      Yeh I can understand why that is getting you down! I've been on and off suppression but to be honest it's always affected me more mentally than physically as I've only had 2 outbreaks and they have been very minor! I take vitamin e daily and l lysine is recommended also!! I feel of I'm on suppression I don't worry about it so much but i don't want to be taking pills for the rest of my life! Hva can give you lots of advice and support in really do recommend you get in touch with them! Apparently after 2 years shedding is almost non existent which is good!! Try and stay positive maybe come off the pills see if you get an outbreak straight away and take it from there!!

      Yor lucky since being diagnosed seven months ago I've had nine painful outbreaks which really upset me. What vitamins do you take? I've heard lysine can be bad if you take it for long? I just don't want to be battling this virus every day. I don't want to wake up very day and this is the first thing I think of I don't want to think about it at all. I want to live my life but it's so scary x

      Yeh I suppose I am lucky in that respect! Have you been back to your doctor or fun clinic for advice! I take vitamin e daily and lysine now and again! I heard an aspirin daily is supposed to be good but I've never tried that! If your outbreaks are bad and frequent I would get back to the doctor

      Xx

      Hoemopatic means  they take something like an Asprin, or garlic, anything, and drop one tiny little pice of it into water and dilute it down and they do that Again, and Again and Again 100,000 Times. then give you a SUGAR PILL.  dont waist you money on that crap. look up James Randy on youtube to learn about Hoemopatic.   I am in the same boat you are, I have HSV 1 & 2. and had an outbreak 3 months ago, went to the doctors and found out I had it. so far i have taken 30 Acyclovir 200mg capsuls and it sarted to go away but came back, it even got in my eyes, (vission blured now so forgive my spelling) I have to go back to the doctors. So Dont let some one who is not a doctor tell you anything. go to your doctor. yes i to am suffering a depressive wave, and i am single and looking. just git up and keep going to the doctors and look for your local HSV Support center. i live in CA USA  Mojave desert area and i am FEARING the summer to come, It get to 150 dreggres here and hope that the heat dose not make it worse. we just need to have hope that the REAL doctors will find a cure soon.  good luck.

      Hey subrina babe you tried to come off the suppressive therapy? How many outbreaks do you get on average whilst taking the medication? I feel like I'm constantly at war with this virus it's not a good feeling. I don't want this to affect my sex life and more then anything I do not want to pass this on to anybody. Not sure why I get so many outbreaks but it's very upsetting. What had your doctor recommended you x
