if you are on daily suppressive therapy, use condoms and avoid sex anytime you have anything going on genitally, a male partner is 99% likely each year NOT to contract hsv2 from you. to give you something to compare it to, if you only used the pill for birth control, you are only 92% likely each year not to become pregnant.
L-lysine is VERY effective, I've been using it for years. You need more l-lysine with Vit C, like 3000-4000 mg every 3 or 4 hours on a full stomach. (If you're having an outbreak or about to have one) if you're just trying to suppress it take about 1000 mg per day. & then after a month or two, you can give your body a break for a few days or a week. Also you can't take it with milk or it's ineffective.
one day i went to go check the pills she gave me because i was on birth control and wanted to know if it would affect it so i looked up the name acyclovir to find out it was for the herpes simplex virus....i freaked out and called and asked them why they gave me a pill for herpes if i didn't have that and the nurse on the phone told me that its for more than one thing and that its best not to google things cause it give me false indications.....
Acyclovir would not interfere with accuracy of you HIV test. Don't worry about that.
In terms of your frequent cold sores - there is absolutely no reason that you should not continue your suppressive therapy. Your doctor is out of date on this one. If he refuses to continue your suppressive therapy you can do one of two things:
1) find another doctor who is more to date on the use of suppressive therapy.
I got off birth control and starting using raspberry leaf extract ( or raspberry leaf tea) and I don't have breakouts even before my period anymore unless I am sick and immune system is really down. I believe the raspberry leaf extract is supposed to correct any out of balance hormones, estrogen, testosterone, etc., so that may help and it doesn't taste bad if you make a tea with it. I order from Mountainrose herbs online.
Hope it helps..
I was wondering if there was anyone who knew anything about the herpes medicationa and pregnancy. I am a little worried with using pills for obvious reasons (ive even been avoiding tums for my morning sickness) so is there a safe treatment for this or the acyclovir safe? Could really ise some imput as im havin an outbreak and mine typically run 2 to 2 1/2 weeks. Info to help also.. almost 8 weeks along, 25 years old, no way to see a doc, couldnt find info online. Thank you!
After I finished my first dose of Acyclovir I went to speak with my primary Dr about being put on a daily suppressive thearpy. He prescribed me Acyclovir again, but dosed at 800mg taken twice daily. I felt that this may have been too high and had been taking it only once a day since everything I had read on Acyclovir supression was informing me that 400mg twice a day was sufficient for daily supressive thearpy.
your not supposed to play with birth control. i did it once a few years ago so i wouldnt get my period, and instead i got my "period" for pretty much the whole two weeks i was down in florida.
theres nothing wrong with having a period on vaction. use tampons and lots of midol. just because it worked for your mom doesnt mean it will work for you.
acyclovir isn't associated with any birth defects so no worries there!
we don't really have info on suppressive therapy and oral herpes. It helps most people have less recurrences though so it's worth trying if you are getting cold sores more than 2x/year.
when you feel the tingle of a cold sore potentially starting, up your dose to 800mg 3x/day for 2 days to help speed healing. You can even head off a cold sore if you start it early enough.
What is the best birth control to consider I told my doctor the depo shot but I'm reconsidering it.
with my insurance I have to be 24 or have four kids to get my tubes tied. I'm 21 with two boys n my first daughter on the way. I was on the pill with my second son and with this pregnancy. Idk what to do...any good advice..
