So Ive been blessed with the curse for over a year in a half now. I have good months and I have bad. on and off prescribed meds. Longest I went with a little normalcy in my life was 3 months (without meds). Im 27 year male that is fit and eat pretty healthy for your average joe. Here recently this virus has just been rocking and rolling for me, one week on and one week off type deal. I know no one has the real clear cut answer for this ■■■■. At first i was in denial, then depression, and now Ive just accepted it and act like things couldve been always worse. Do i hate the person that gave it to me? No. But you bet your ass, I would definitely like to share my piece of mind with her. I see alot of people on here fighting depression and thinking this is gonna seal the deal for you. Way i see its just a part of life and thats okay. Pick up the pieces and run with it.
Some THINGS THAT have helped me so far fellas:
Accept What has been given to you. There is no going back as much as you want to.
Some of my personal experiences
Valtrax < Aciclovir
-
Clean Your Area. Area multiplies when not treated properly.
-
Do Not use any baby powder down there on a hot summer day for chafing. Have had OBs due to dryness.
-
Catch it the day before. You can usually feel it when urinating. Lympnodes n Balls start to feel different the day before for me.
-
You can live and die by the meds, but alcohol and stress are your two worst enemies.
-
Take your vitamins. Be healthy. Exercise.
-
Like I said before, be you. The situation could always be worse. Its not the end of the world.
-
Witch Hazel/ Rubbing Alcohol not really helpful. Done it multiple times, does nothing but make you curse and wish you never did it.
I hope this can find some light in someone’s eye. You are not alone out there. Talk to someone about if it makes you feel better.
