I have had genital herpes for about 4-5 months now… or have been having outbreaks since then anyways. I know there is not a cure for herpes, but I’d really like to find a great/effective natural treatment. So far, I have been taking L-lysine. It seems to help a good deal, but I’m wondering if there are any other natural treatments out there that will help decrease the number of outbreaks I have.
My other question is this… it seems like the tiniest thing will start up an outbreak… irritation of a thong, stress, my period, the string on a tampon, and sex… sex is the worst of all and causes a horrible outbreak… the others just cause one or two sensitive spots. Does this get better over time? What about sex? Am I ever going to be able to enjoy sex again? I’ve accepted the fact that I have it, but am still so confused and have no idea who I can talk to. I don’t have insurance, so it’s not cheap for me to go to the doctor, or take prescription medicine for it. Plus, I prefer natural treatments anyways. I have done a lot of research and know all the basics, but research hasn’t given me the answers to everything.
Please only serious responses. And I’d really appreciate answers from people with personal experience only. Thank you so much.
In response to Silv…. I can’t enjoy sex because any kind of friction down there causes irritation and pain… I think I already said that?
