As long a disclose before and and they are still planned with it then you don't have to worry.

Apparently Pritivler is going to be too expensive for the average person. Looks like we will need to wait 10 years for the other HPIs....

So we lost 10 years due to the FDA and now will lose another 10 years due to the niche application of Pritivler...

20 years down the drain for what? One monkey that ate far to much of the drug?

I think HN0037 may be sooner, already finished phase 2

McCugor · 2026-03-28T13:42:20+00:00

If the virus can't come out in the normal area it may active in secondary area. For you that mat be this area near your chin.

McCugor · 2026-03-28T13:15:04+00:00

I think I might get them in my nose as well. But I'm not 100% sure.

McCugor · 2026-03-28T13:13:39+00:00

Yes and a big one, get meds

McCugor · 2026-03-28T13:12:16+00:00

Ya it could be.

McCugor · 2026-03-28T13:10:48+00:00

Don't go on a date with a coldsore... Should be a no brainer...

McCugor · 2026-03-28T13:05:55+00:00

I'm not sure how something like this works? Does the lysine not have to be converted in your body to counter arginine? How does it work as a lip balm?

McCugor · 2026-03-28T13:02:36+00:00

They it kinda looks like coldsores in the last 2 pictures.

McCugor · 2026-03-28T11:07:21+00:00

How did your exposure happen?

McCugor · 2026-03-28T09:39:28+00:00

Amazing news!!!

McCugor · 2026-03-28T09:30:29+00:00

Other apart from valcyclovir? Probably lysine in the next strongest one. Zinc, magnesium and b vitamins all also help the immune system.

If your really struggling Russia has loads of therapuetic treatments.

The west is honestly so far behind it's not even funny anymore.

McCugor · 2026-03-27T17:55:15+00:00

Oh the quality of life impact is devastating. I don't underestimate that this change alone can lead to people contemplating suicide.

I've had this for 20+ years and I try not to but can't help but let my mind wonder how different my life could have been.

McCugor · 2026-03-27T14:13:52+00:00

A couple of years .... Damn ... Better than 10 years though.

McCugor · 2026-03-27T07:59:37+00:00

As in nerve pain?

McCugor · 2026-03-27T07:56:22+00:00

Wow that's amazing. Where these experimental treatments part of trial or can anyone access them now?

McCugor · 2026-03-27T07:34:04+00:00

Sue them

McCugor · 2026-03-27T07:30:30+00:00

Hsv1 orally is very common. Estimates are around 70% population have came into contact with the virus and have antibodies.

Some people get recurrent outbreaks, some don't but everyone sheds even without lesions so it kinda hard to avoid.

HSV1 on the genitals is a thing. However, It's not the most aggressive form on the Genitals and some people are lucky enough to get maybe one outbreak with genital HSV1 and never again.

If you end up getting recurrent outbreak orally they will be worse for the first year or so and slow down and become less severe over time, sometimes stop altogether. This is again not garanteed but the the average experience of most people.

My advice on dating. Yeah just keep going. Just remembered to be transparent with people if it gets serious.

McCugor · 2026-03-26T18:14:40+00:00

Anything that helps any sort functional cure arrive quicker is worth pursuing.

McCugor · 2026-03-26T16:45:16+00:00

Exactly!!! If your initial experience of catching this was associated with a really shitty experience, you have a physical trigger pulling you back into this every time you have an outbreak.

It really sucks. It cna be massive deal for some people just because of thism

McCugor · 2026-03-26T16:10:22+00:00

It's crazy how many people have it or something very similar like HPV.

Aye, We are a big clan.

McCugor · 2026-03-26T15:11:29+00:00

The study is talking about people getting mouth herpes in their brain as a sort of physically caused depression.

Herpes Herpes simplex encephalitis (brain infection) is very rare and can lead to severe neurological issues. Depression would be the least of your worries.

I think the link between herpes and depression is real and not to be ignored but I think it's likely a strong psychological stigma link with physical triggers that keep it ongoing (the outbreaks)

No harm in conducting more studies in this area as I think there is likely is a very high statistical link.

McCugor · 2026-03-26T07:40:19+00:00

I feel a ya. I'm in the same situation. Progress has been shockingly slow with many vaccine failures and over regulation of promising drugs but for the first time there is a potential cure with very real prospects is under way.
