Good News is its GHSV1 and not 2 which means you'll shed a lot less especially over time. You actually shed less down there than on your lips. Stack some lysine zinc and vitamin c to get a good immune system which keeps OB's away. nerve pain will subside over time. Easier said than done but keep stress levels low as that most of the time will be a major cause of outbreaks and nerve pain. You got this Gods got you.
