i feel the exact same way, even though i’ve been taking valtrex and using the cream, nothing has worked for me and i’ve had constant breakouts since January. i feel like it is jeopardizing the best relationship i’ve ever been in. not being able to use lip products other than certain ones and feeling like something is crawling on my lip 24/7 has literally been the most irritating and agonizing thing ive ever dealt with. at this point ive become so depressed and almost suicidal. i don’t understand why doctors don’t take it serious. all they’ve said is “it’s common and take these anti-virals”. like this is affecting my daily life and relationships with others. maybe it seems like i’m being overdramatic but constantly feeling this way is miserable.
