Terrified Mood
Tuesday, June 23, 2009

I have been suffering with HSV1 for about 5 years. For the last 2-3 I have suffered with almost constant intra-oral break outs. I have an active breakout about 24 days each month. I get them in my mouth on my gums and on my lips. I am an otherwise completely healthy 44 year old vegetarian mom with 2 young kids, my heart breaks that I can't kiss them but I'm terrified I will pass this terrible virus on. I have been taking Valtrex 500MG twice a day for 2 years and it has helped to reduce the severity but not the frequency. I have spent 100's of hours doing research and spent thousands of dollars on every "cure" out there. Nothing has worked. You name it, I have tried it. I can give you details on every product out there. I even did the DMSO thing and changed my diet for 9 months trying to make it work, but it didn't change a thing.

 

Today,  I am stressed that I may have spread it to my eyes now because 2 days ago I got a sty in my eye for the first time. It opened yesterday and I am putting antibiotic drops in it but when I was sleeping I rolled my face into my pillow where my infected mouth was and felt the wetness in my eye. I had my mouth covered with gauze but not all the way, so now I am crazy with fear that I am going to have to suffer with this as well. It's obvious I have a terrible strain of the virus that is resistant to Acyclovir and all I can do is hope for a cure or a vaccine that will save everyone else. I'm so depressed and withdrawn over this, it has ruined my life. Is there anything I can do to save my eyes? Please help me, I feel so desperate.
