hi..
I am having my worst outbreak...doctor say every outbreak will be
different..and sometime last as long as a month...
I have noticed it drying up...it is a definate improvement over a few
weeks ago...
I find aloe helps....and this treatment i got at
purehealing.com....helps a bit....not all...but its making a dent.
  I am thinking of taking the Valtrex...and would love to hear any
success stories on it...i am just worried about liver damage.  Thanks
and I am glad I have an outlet for this...

Will everyone who is afraid of "liver damage" raise his or her hand?

Thank you.

Now would you care to tell us where you heard there was the
possibility of liver damage so that we may better server you in
exploding this myth?

Thanks again,

Mike

ps.  Valtrex success stories are contained in every Valtrex Product
Information sheet that comes with your pills.  They are contained in
"Table 1: Proportions of Patients Recurrence-free at 6 and 12 Months".

Here's a link to an online version:

Hi Kris,
I started having one outbreak after another this year, and it was a shock to
me when I found out I had Herpes. The doctor just told me matter of factly
that I'd have it for the rest of my life and would have to put up with the
OB's.
He prescribed Zovirax cream which I applied.
Most of the help I got in the end was from browsing the internet. In the end
I on my own initiative decided to get Acyclovir and to treat myself
suppresively. I am able to buy my stuff over the counter and I now take
2x400mg tablets every day.
When I missed a couple of doses I got an OB again, so I learnt from my
mistake and my mobile phone alarms twice a day and reminds me to take my
tablet.
Since taking this course of action and sticking to a schedule I have not had
a single outbreak and am leading an ordinary life free of pain or symptoms
or whatever.
Also I have absolutely no side affects, and if there are any side affects
they cant be as bad as feeling like a leper when I have an outbreak.
So, from my experience I'd say that a good option for you is to do the same,
and if you have the same result that I have you can live an OB free life
from long periods at a time.
One recent ray of hope for me is that with time the incidence of outbreaks
reduces naturally. So I don't think it's going to be a case of taking the
pills forever. My current plan is to take it for 2 years total and then go
off the pills and see what happens.
Meanwhile, there's a whiff in the air of an inoculation being available in
Germany, I'm trying to find out if it's true or bullshit. If it's true it
may or may not be of help to me or anyone already infected. But it sure as
hell would be of great use to my partner or other peoples partners who could
be free of the concern of catching Herpes off us.
I hope that this message is of some use to you.
You are not alone.
Regards
Nathan

Tablets, over the counter? Where are you based....the problem for many is
that their countries will not have done this (UK and USA to the best of my
knowledge).

If you mean Lupidon then its around and has been for a while...
