HSV2 for over 41 yrs. Get this: when discovered my Primary Care doc said the only treatment is painting the affected area with yellow dye and exposing it to lightbulb... boy have things gotten better. He did correctly state I have it for life. I began using acyclovir less than 2 yrs ago (3 pills every day for 7 days from initial outbreak symptoms) and I continued to get monthly outbreaks.. which ...
After two days lower back pain kicked in. Could not bear it. Will substitute outbreaks for pills.

First outbreak of genital herpes lasted over 2 weeks. I was in great pain and using the toilet was agony. The blisters would sting like crazy and burn. My whole body was run down and no energy. Finally I was put on VALTREX and less than 2 days later I felt completely different, the blisters started drying up and I honestly felt so much better.

I had an outbreak of herpes, the kind you get in your mouth, on both of my hands simultaneously, this drug cleared it up within 2 weeks , Thank God, about 3 months later had another outbreak over and around my left eye. Treatment started the day the pustules appeared, cleared within the week, now taking suppressive therapy.
