Avatar n tn I have not been sexually active since July 2007. However, last weekend I had a small blister show up on my buttocks. I had my dermatologist look at it. He said it was Herpes and we've done a culture. (Still waiting on results.) He said the "initial breakout" must come within 2 weeks of exposure. However, I have had not exposure. Is this correct?
Avatar f tn Please understand that many people do not have an initial breakout, the information your reading does not apply to all cases, that was the first thing my doctor made clear to me when I was diagnosed with genital herpes II after being married to my husband for 14yrs. Some cases are really mild,such as mine. I believed that he had been faithful and he believed that I had also, we also believed that neither of us had no idea that one of us had carried this disease for so long without knowing.
Avatar m tn A clinical trial led by doctors Luanne Metz and Wee Yong shows the common acne medicine minocycline can slow the process of MS in people who have experienced initial symptoms of the debilitating autoimmune disease. The clinical trial that led to minocycline’s proved efficacy was conducted at the university’s Hotchkiss Brain Institute at the Cumming School of Medicine. The results of the trial are to be published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Thursday.
Avatar n tn about a week ago she caught a cold, and got over it, however on the fourth day she has had this breakout that at first they looked like small zits (tiny whit heads but redish around) then they pop and ooze, by wednesday night they were all oozing it go worse so I applied Gold Bond Poweder (thinkining it might be something like poison oak/Ivy or Sumac), however by today saturday, I see that the blisters now los clear (similar to the chicken pox blisters - no blisters in the body just facial), so
Avatar m tn A couple years ago I contracted HSV-1 genital. I had one breakout and tested positive for only HSV-1. HSV-2 was test but came back Negative. I've not had a breakout since the initial one. I realize that once infected, always infected. My question is, since I'm now monogamous and my partner has not yet contracted HSV-1 (although she know its possible) can I contract the HSV-1 now orally since I've already developed anti-bodies?
Avatar n tn m still at a loss for what to do next. I have no symptoms yet (I did read the 2-20 days for initial breakout time), but I am wondering if I should get tested. I know blood tests aren't reliable so close to the exposure, but I'm honestly lost. Do I still get tested in 3-4 months if I don't have symptoms? What are the main symptoms I should look out for?
Avatar m tn (ie. instead of Loestrin 1/20.. use 0.5/10 for hormonal imbalance?) Just concerned about initial breakout. Just some background... I have not used OC previously. I have no family history of breast cancer, no hypertension, non-smoker, and had 2 migraines in the past 5 years.
5248641 tn?1367587247 Mino was an awful drug for me----- but some people just loved it from the git-go. And a lot of people said that after the initial junk/herx they got better. I hope you're in the latter group.
Avatar m tn I just have never heard of anyone having a breakout this far out, and it is reported to be within a week or so of contracting. It really kinda bothered me at first, and I felt bad. Although, the more i thought about it, i figured it was kind of an anomaly to happen. Anyways, she has a weird narcissistic personality, and i was a basket case while we were engaged. She likes to control, and I was wondering if this was her last ditch effort. She knew i was pretty happy about everything.
Avatar f tn Now have finished 2 yrs on daily antibiotic (minocycline and levaquin). Was doing well but have very unsightly and widespread blackening of skin, which does not clear up I believe my darkened cataracts developed as my skin blackened, and that this blackening residue is possibly in all my organs. Have recently dropped back to single minocycline/day (100 mg) but believe cysts may already be redeveloping.
Avatar m tn How long does it take for the initial Herpes breakout symptoms to occur and how long can they last (maximum)? I was possibly exposed on November 2nd.
Avatar f tn Just got over my initial outbreak of herpes 2 a week ago after a whole month of pure hell and two prescriptions of acyclovir. One week later I'm feeling a little bit of tingling and itch. Is it possible it's starting all over after just a week of clearing up?? I'm currently taking Lysine, vitamin C and B, and limiting my Arginine intake. Not on suppression therapy yet, however plan to start soon.
Avatar f tn Is there an upside, like am I building antibodies while having a continual breakout? I guess it hasn’t gone into latency yet? What do I do? What does a long breakout mean? I did not have this rask before 7 weeks ago. I am 30 years old, female. Tested Neg for HIV last week, In NOV 2009 tested Neg for HIV, Syphilis, Gonorrhea & Chlamydia. Never had an STD besides this, that I know of.
Avatar m tn I have an initial herpes outbreak and took a blood test that came back positive. Does this mean I could have contracted HSV-2 a while back and am having my first initial outbreak or must it be my new partner that gave me the disease? I have no been with anyone else in months but he recently took a blood test and came back negative.
Avatar n tn I had a primary breakout within the time frame of a month from the initial sexual contact of the person. He claims that I could have had it for years, which could be true, YET the math doesn't add up for me cause of the time frame. Sometimes the virus can stay in your system for years without an outbreak.
Avatar n tn The initial breakout was pretty severe. After the first, he would get a breakout about once a month to once every two months, progressively less frequently, depending on the stress levels - but never as bad as the first. However, I have been living in a different city for the past month and a half or so, and we have only been seeing each other about once every two weeks, and we had sex every time.
Avatar m tn You don't get prodromes from an initial infection. Prodromes are found only in recurrent infections...
Avatar f tn Minocycline is one of the listed drugs that cause vitamin B12 malabsorption. Minocycline also has anti-thyroid effects. Long term treatment with minocycline (at least 100 mg/day) can cause hyperpigmentation of the skin, nails, bones, thyroid, teeth, palate, eye, heart valves. Thyroid cancer is frequently found with black thyroid syndrome (macroscopic black discolouration of the thyroid gland).
Avatar f tn Fatigue, all over body aches, slight rash on chest then the next morning a dull ache started in my urethra. Two days after that I had urgency to pee and pain in tip of penis. I had minocycline so I started taking 100mg twice a day for 8 days. It didn't seem to work so I stopped and three days later I intended to get tested for STDs. Well the place I went to in Germany only did HIV testing so I took that.
Avatar m tn I wanted to be able to take something, ANYTHING, to prevent a breakout, not just sit around and wait for a breakout happen. So I came across the Super Lysine supplement. I took it daily 3x a day and the tingling went away. If I skipped a dose the tingling would come back (kind of my reminder "hey, take your lysine!") When I took the dose, tingling would subside. A few months passed and I hadn't gotten a breakout, so the dummy I am, I decided to stop taking the lysine.
Avatar m tn Hello Peter, It usually helps us if you have a question or want to share a potential risk. Please see a physician for the correct dosage and correct diagnosis.
Avatar f tn I was prescribed minocycline for my acne on the 21st of December and started taking it that day, found out on the 27th of January that I am pregnant with my first baby and I am driving myself crazy with worry! Everything I've read is telling me that minocycline is extremely bad to take while pregnant or becoming pregnant.
