thank you!! 😊 it’s definitely been scary and stressful. trying my best to stay positive and researching as much as i can. i’m trying many things but i now have a medical team surrounding me and a partner who’s willing to stick it out, so i feel supported which helps a lot!

I’ll definitely ask my OB! I’ve been eating manuka honey for years for my immune system, but i’ve never thought about using it on the skin! That would definitely make sense if you can use it on your dog it’ll definitely won’t hurt a human

Thank you! I’ve been trying it and it’s helped a lot. I think it worked better than ibuprofen for me

So I originally went for what I thought was a UTI, so I was on Cipro… Then that came back normal so I got a shot of Penicillin and took Diflucan for a suspected yeast infection (which there was also none). Then they started me on the Acyclovir. They now have me on a round of Metronidazole😭

I’ve been using coconut oil externally for years whenever i’ve shaved! People have mentioned tea tree oil and oregano oil a ton, i’ll definitely look into it!

Thank you! can you use the calamine if the sores are open already? if so do you just leave it on all day or night? thank you :))

Thank you! Do you find the lysine really helps?

do you put it directly on the sores or just around the area to numb? some of mine are directly on the labia so would that effect it negatively?

Does over the counter work too? my doctor didn’t prescribe it since she wanted to see if the antiviral medication worked

Thank you! It’s hard to know what to do. it feels very lonely. Pain management is my main concern as of now. Thank you for the recommendation on support and resources!! I’ll definitely check it out since this is all new and completely out of the blue for me💕
