I have hearf that Tea Tree oil is good to put on the sores or even before an outbreak it reduces the time of the out break.
I was wondering if anyone has used it ?
Or if anyone knows what else is good to prevent out breaks
I bought Vitamin C to take
what else is good ?
Im trying to strenthen my immune system a much as i can to prevent out breaks?
any tips?
Thanks
Game changer for me was boost of immune system and still eat and drink what I want. I do swear by a few salt baths a week still, even w no symptoms. But Epsom skat baths speed up healing very quickly for me.
2000mlg daily Vit C and D3. All B vitamins for healthy nerves, zinc and magnesium are huge. Biggest factor was a live probiotic w 3-5 different bacteria in it and can survive past the stomach capsules.
Thank you.
Mr Dr also aid pernatal pills are good because they have all the minerals and vitamins.
What about when u have a break out what do u use to decrease the time limit it last?
Also do u get often break outs? I was diagnosed about almost two months now
I want to do everything to minimize the chances of having often break outs
Im even scare to have sex because im afraid it will cause a break out
Well first off, I can tell you are living in fear of anticipation of another breakout and think it is going to be like the first one. Do not stress that, it is not going to be like your first break out and this is coming from someone who had a horrific primary ob w severe neuropathy and had to go to the ER and had obs twice a month on daily meds for 7 months. I've had this 9 months now and only had an internal sore during my cycle and that didn't hurt.
My recurrent obs don't hurt. They have been a bump or two and you may just have some minor itching and tenderness. If you're really concerned, why don't you get on daily meds?
I can tell you that going out till the wee hrs and drinking sugary alcoholic drinks and a lot, will trigger an ob.
I haven't had sex since I got this, so I can't tell you anything on that. My friends have sex and are fine.
Thanks. for the advice
i had a back out break as well the first one
omg it was super painful to pee
after that i got on meds from the dr and started to clear up and then a week later i got another ob it wasnt as bad it barley hurt but it was itchy

im scared this will change evrything
i have been avoiding him i dk if i should end things or come clean
i havent told anyone i have this
i need some advice from someone that is going threw the same
Thanks for reading this. id appreciate the advice
Well in regards to your obs, when I start experiencing anything like itching or nerve sensations, I sit in Epsom salt baths and it makes a huge difference. You can also run a shallow bath to use the bathroom or coat sores w Vaseline as a cover from the urine.
I highly recommend that you get on daily suppression meds, so that way you can give him the risk of transmission rates at its lowest along w condom use for female to male, sex 2-3xs a week a yr is 1%. I have the perfect site for you to watch videos, download disclosure pamphlets and w a pie chart showing risk of transmission rates based on types of protection and no protection. It will prepare you for the disclosure. There also are disclosure stories on this community completely dedicated to herpes and fives you advice on how to deal w the emotional toll of herpes, vs a medical board which this is great for, but this I'd more to prepare you to deal w the social and intimate portion of living w herpes. Google H opportunity. Do you have HSV 1 or 2? Please feel free to message me any time if you need to talk.
About 3-4 months after infection, I ran into an old flame and we were never in love, but some emotions were involved. Well that night he was telling me how much he cared about me, that he wanted to be w me, that he's changed and I'm the type of girl he'd marry.. As he went on and on that night, I felt sick w guilt more and more.. I was struggling not to cry and asked if we could not have a serious conversation and just have fun and not talk about that stuff and he just kept wanting too. I felt like I could barley hold it in. Then at the end of the might, he wanted me to go back w him and I told him I couldn't sleep w Him and he said not to put stipulations on things.. He was just saying how he was so happy when he looked over and saw it was me after coning back from a yr Kong deployment and I'm so perfect for him and then I said you wouldn't want me if yiu knew what I had. I if course broke down in tears uncontrollably (everything you're NOT supposed to do in a disclosure) and I saw it register on his face and then asked if I had herpes and I said yes and he said it doesn't matter to him, we'll just use condom's... Anyway. It was shirt lived as in a week later, not because if herpes, but because well... He didn't change... Shocker.. No I never slept w him either. I only shared that to shoe that there was someone I had history w where feelings did exist, but not love and he accepted it... I don't know the details of your relationship, but sometimes people just night surprise you.
Now I highly recommend going to that site and reading and watching all the video's w the latest info and stuff to prepare youyou for disclosure. This site is also for couples and encourages that the H- partner also have an account and get advice and read things on the site and hear others experiences. I think you will get some relief from that.. I really do.
Hi
when I first contracted type 2 7 years ago I found that outbreaks were frequent. Someone told me about a product called Manuka Honey. You can get it from health shops it comes in a small tube like toothpaste. It's very sticky I'd I just rubbed plenty around the area that was infected. Lo and behold very quickly my skin healed and my continuous outbreaks stopped. Manuka honey is natural and it cleaned the sores and they dried out quickly after. I can't tell you how wonderful I think this stuff is. It's not a cure but it has made my living with it manageable.
Really? That sounds great. how are your break out now?
i just found out i have it 3 months ago and ive had constant ob not as bad but the sores take a while to completly heal.
what kind of health shops ?
and do u know the names of any so i can look it up
i would like to try this
Seldom have them. I've told you the name of the product.
