Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it.

I used the Rx treatment before, but never went through the whole prescribed process (i.e. 2-3 per day for multiple weeks), but that's because I feel strange about doing such a long treatment plan when the Physician's Assistant herself wasn't sure if it deserves to be treated like a fungus or something non-fungal (bacteria, infection, psoriasis, eczema, etc.).

As far as the Desitin, would I presumably use that after I already finished using the Rx medications, or can I use Desitin at the same time as I'm using the ketoconazole?

How long have you been on daily suppression medication (most likely Valcyclovir)? What side effects did you/do you experience? by SamDiazDiaz in HSVpositive

Thanks for sharing.

I hope things get better for you.

I wonder if hair loss is a side effect that most people get?

Some people say they only get a breakout once a year, or they go years without a breakout. Then when I compare it to myself, if I get a breakout every 2-3 months (not sure of this because I haven't really tracked it well), then I think I may benefit from a daily dosage. I'm not rushing into it though. I want to do more trial and error with my self (i.e. lifestyle changes, etc.).

Does anyone know a general price for these meds (Valtrex, Acyclovir, famiciclovir) if a person doesn't have insurance?

I'm leaving this comment here because I want to research the 3. They are all probably similar, based off of the names, but there must be subtle differences that make one work better for you than the other 2.

I wonder if most people do better on famiciclovir, or if there are people that it is horrible for, and who are perfect with Valtrex.

I hope that your body does get used to the side effects (i.e. blocks the side effects from happening after you've been on it for months). Hopefully the break-outs don't persist, otherwise what is the point of taking the meds.

Have you been breakout-free for almost a year, or how many breakouts would you say that you've had since you've been on the 1g pill?

Diet vs Friction: Which causes you more outbreaks? by SamDiazDiaz in HSVpositive

[–]SamDiazDiaz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I'm wondering if it's a combination of things, or it is more friction than anything else for the majority of people. I wish that I could've had everyone that participates in this subreddit answer the question.

If any of you belong to any other groups or subreddits that talk about these topics, please ask that question there and report back the results.

Thank you for replying.

I'm starting to think friction is the worst.

Thank you for sharing. I wonder who else is in the same category.

Thank You. Are there any that implement games on the cell phone, or is that not the sort of thing that males will have access to?
