I think I've been clear for 2 years
Okay guys, I think I've been clear of GW's for 2 years now. I've not had any major outbreaks and if there is something still there they are so damn tiny I can't be sure even when I'm checking with a magnifying glass.
I'm doing all the right things as best as I can vitamin supplements, fruit, vegetables, exercise. I'm happy to say that I don't care about them now and I think that's half of the battle. Most people just treat them and they go away, it only became a big thing for me because mine kept coming back for 3-4 years.
I've realised that mentally you have to put your logical head on things and stop worrying. It's not my fault if my body can't deal with them. If they come back I'll just treat them. I'm not going to stop living my life because of this.
I've told people about it and discovered 2 friends have also had it which makes me feel less alone in all of this. Some of us are just unlucky that our immune systems don't deal with the virus permanently or maybe we just have to give our immune system a helping hand.
Sure it might make for awkward conversation during a date or whatever in future but there are a lot worse things like Herpes and HIV. This is nothing in the grand scheme of things. If someone doesn't want to be with me because of something I MIGHT still have then that's okay, everyone is free to make their own choices. It's so common anyway that there's as much chance of them catching it off me than the next guy.
Also, to give people hope, they are looking into therapeutic vaccines for RRP which is caused by HPV types 6 and 11, I strongly beleive it won't be long until they can help our bodies completely cure this - http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/publications/headway/headway_summer_2013/a_new_therapeutic_vaccine_for_rrp_
I'm a Christian and I put my life into Jesus and God's hands. I'm not preaching though, everyone in their own way, whatever you beleive, you must have faith and hope that things will get better and never thing this is your fault.
I refuse to let this thing define me, life is for living and I will fight tooth and nail to live my life and be happy.
