HPV Support Group

Human papillomavirus is a diverse group of DNA-based viruses that infect the skin and mucous membranes of humans. More than 100 different human papillomavirus (HPV) types have been characterized. Some HPV types cause benign skin warts, or papillomas, for which the virus family is named. HPVs associated with the development of such "common warts" are transmitted...

Had low risk HPV for just over 2 months now and need to rant! They just don't seem to be getting any better, im have cryo and have had irregular bouts of podophyllin depending on how its all looking, and going to the clinic 2 times a week to have this done. I take a good multi vitamin, vitamin C, B6, E, zinc and also garlic, Im eating more healthier than ever, lots of fruit and veg, getting exercise, have quit drinking until they go, don't smoke, don't do drugs. About a week ago went to the clinic and things were looking much better, she said I had some really tiny ones and some flat ones inside but everything was on the up, went to the clinic yesterday and I have about 5/6 new warts. I just don't know what else I can do. Just want these buggers to go away. It doesn't help that im at uni and my 3 housemates all have boyfriends and when they spend their evenings with them I just feel incredibly lonely. Im not the person I used to be because i'm unhappy. Gaahhh.

It takes some time. Most people 'force' this virus away by 'overdosing' their body with vitamins and stuff. That isn't really the proper way to fight this. Watchmen's theory is that you shouldn't 'force' this out of your body. Most people are doing it for the sake of getting rid of this virus but in the process of doing so, they end up 'spoiling' their body.

Take it easy. It happens. You'll get through this, it's only a matter of time. Things may be tough now and hard to visualize because warts are still there but with proper treatment, it'll go away. Let it go away naturally, take it easy. Don't let this prey on you mentally.

If you are under any kind of stress, this can have a huge impact on your immune system. People underestimate the damage stress can do, but it depletes your immune system, even when you are eating healthy and taking supportive vitamins. Find ways to destress and be gentle with yourself. I agree with IGrief that eventually, as long as you are taking good care of yourself, the virus will pass through your system.

    This isn't really bipolar related but there is never anyone on the parenting groups, this is the most active group I've been in.My 6yr old son has really bad seasonal allergies and they're in full force right now. He gets a terrible cough; he coughs all day and all night, making it hard for him to sleep, and his nose runs.I've tried every allergy medicine, OTC and RX, and none of them affect his...

    Is anyone here allergic to Sulfa that is currently taking Diamox? I have been diagnosed with IH now for almost 2 years. I am allergic to Sulfa drugs meaning that my throat will swell up so my Neurologist put me on Topamax. I was suffering from major loud whoosing noises and the topamax helped that but everyday I still hear those mainly between 6 - 12 pm. I am at my wits end and have not went...
