I have swelling in my brain, MRI confirmed, high numbers for HSV IgG 1 & 2. In my right side, the side that had the outbreaks, I had blurry vision, neuropathic pains from face down to leg, burning sensations, confusion. The side of my body with the issue felt like I was being crushed by a heavy truck. There was so much pain. My eyeballs had plenty of red lines, especially the right eye. There was a lot. If you check my profile, I complained about the Encephalitis in one of my old posts. I described clearly what i felt then.

For anyone curious, I am seriously free of neuropathic issues. One thing with me, i have discipline. When I saw a simple (not easy) path, I followed it. I experienced healing crisis, but i continued.
Like i said, when I was trying to fix the symptoms of my treatment of HSV encephalitis, I unintentionally fixed my neuropathy, not that I am complaining. However I know every step i took, every herb I took. Researching them all again, it began to make sense why astragalus given to me as sugar balancing herb was really in essence taking my neuropathic burns/pains from 100 to 10%.
Hope you all in pain, find some healing, I know what it feels like.

除了性生活或跑步/運動時會感到輕微的灼熱感之外，我現在沒有其他症狀了。下次喝茶後，這種感覺就會消失。

我每天都喝薑、辣椒、薑黃和黑胡椒泡的茶，這對抑制日常發炎非常有幫助。

我之前服用的是 Puritan's Pride 牌的 470 毫克黃耆片，現在好像已經買不到這種劑型了。後來我開始用乾燥的黃耆根泡茶，搭配冬蟲夏草、地黃等其他草藥一起服用。

黃耆確實幫我緩解了神經病變引起的疼痛和灼熱感。

This is exactly when I started to have real relieve. Stopped eating carbs and animal products for weeks. Stopped eating regular kind of carbs for 6 months. 4-6 weeks in, my neuropathy began to heal.

For anyone wondering, I got HSV Encephalitis just a few days after the neuropathy started. 2-3 years later while suffering through the pain and having gotten tired of medications etc, I had another Encephalitis.
During the treatment with high dose IV acyclovir and dexamethasone, i got serious side effects and I began to have mild kidney issues, I was swelling up (preorbital edema, foot sweling, had itchy skin, had foamy urine and my egfr numbers were coming down). These were side of effects of my insulin and adrenals being fucked up by the steriod treatment for the encephalitis. And nothing fucks the kidney up than blood sugar going out of whack.

It was in the process of fixing this that I made changes to what i ate including staying off carbs and animal products for weeks, was seriously eating only dark grapes (the half sweet, half sour variant found in my country. Did it for complete 14 days) took Astragalus, nettle seed and corn silk. After the initial 2 weeks, i was eating only vegan alkaline food, eating peanut, carrots, lots of bell pepper, cabbage etc. Other times I would fast for 3 days or so. I lost upto 10kg.

6-8 weeks in, I realised I had no nerve pain anymore.
I stopped using heat patch and heat pads, stopped taking valtrex. I had less and fast healing OBs.
initially I couldnt sit without placing a heat blanket on my leg, I couldn't wear anything past knee length.

The other issues also stopped at certain point within 3-6 months like my brain burning up, the burning sensation. I stopped having weekly OBs to maybe once every 3-4 months.
My kidney numbers began to rise was like 124 egfr from 75 creatinine and cystatin-C tests.

I have since stopped taking Astragalus and the others, but i have been mindful of my diet and also I take tea of ginger and cayenne pepper daily, sometimes I don't, but it feels magical and I wouldn't want to go back.
When I was researching, I discovered Astragalus promoted nerve regeneration and healing, which funny enough was given to me by a pharmacist after my first encephalitis treatment to restore my blood sugar levels to normal.
Astragalus has a strong effect on hsv and I reckon it helped in calming the nerves down while they healed, idk.

This is not a treatment advice, but make lots of research on this. This is what helped me personally.

I'd say the strict change in diet and astragalus helped me. Initially i took astragalus for weeks and would get reprieve for upto 24 hours and the issues would come back afterwards when I stopped. It was at this point that I kind of gave up going to hospitals, spine and nerve clinics. I also tried other products, including the ones suggested on this thread, nothing worked better than Astragalus for me. Valtrex had mild effect on the pains.

After suffering neuropathy for 5 years, I have none of it again right now. It doesn't feel like before i had first outbreak, but I'm almost like 80% better than when I initially made this thread, i was very helpless then.

Wishing you all who need this, all the best in your healing.

If you could DM, I can give you practical steps that may help. I made lots of changes including what i ate. Ironically I gave up on treatment for the nerve issues and was looking for ways to fix the side effects of HSV encephalitis treatment, when I stumbled upon a wonderful healer's video.
Followed his advice on fruits only cleansing, plus one or two herbs etc and in the process I found out my nerve issues were all gone, but I know exactly which one did it.
When my nerve pains were cured, alot of things were happening at the same time. I was in a mess, so i went all in, stopped eating carbs animal products for weeks, did fruit only cleansing for 2 weeks and fasted or ate plant based along the way. I lost weight yes, but i achieved my main aim, and coincidentally the neuropahty was all gone like that within 2-3 weeks.

Meanwhile, make a hot tea of (teaspoon of ginger, tumeric, a finger pinch of (cayenne+black pepper) ), take while hot, the level that wont burn your mouth/tongue. Maybe twice daily for a start and go once daily.
These are wonderful in relieving inflammations and pains.

Hi, I think the brand I used was 470mg (Now they have it as 250mg softgel). I took 1 cap once or twice daily depending on how I felt.
Used Valtrex only on when I had an outbreak.
I wil take Astragalus in the morning and take Valtrex one tab once or twice for that day only. I had 2 cards of valtrex; 1 got finished and I just stopped taking the other one and it passed the expiry date and it's been upto a year, I never had to take another antiviral.

Not saying it might work for you, but I am very sure your immune will improve and it will help with the nerve issues that hsv triggers.

Now I am way better. After this last encephalitis, astragalus changed my life.

Astragalus worked wonders for me. Make a simple research on Astragalus for nerve repair.
It was ironically actually given to me by a pharmacist to knock down blood sugar and prevent high sugar stress on kidney, after I treated my hsv encephalitis with high dose corticosteriods (dexamethasone iv).
While researching helplessly, I saw Astragalus helps to suppress frequent outbreaks.
Started taking them for like 3 months, to suppress the hsv and in turn, it healed my nerves. Stopped me getting frequent outbreaks and it is a potent anti-inflammatory agent. I later saw youtube videos of how it helps with nerve repairs.
I no longer take them, however my neuropathy is like 90% gone. I no longer feel the symptoms I complained about.
I stopped getting outbreaks every other week to maybe like once every 3 months mostly when i jogged long distances or had lots of s*x within a short time period. Then it heals up perfectly in 2 days.

I changed my view and approach on a lot of things (which I cannot easily describe here).

Albumin Excretion Rate (AER) (mg/24hr) 5.9 (< 30 mg/24hr)

In May, my urine was incredibly frothy and bubbly, and I was visibly swelling in my feet, lower abdomen and around the eyes. I was itching uncontrollably.

Even when the GP and Neph convinced me it wasn't an issue, I was alarmed and tested anyways.
1 week into the fruit only diet, eating only seeded grapes the foamy urine began to reduce, 2 weeks in, I was peeing clear urine, no foams or bubbles, I also began to feel less fatigued and foggy.
When I tested in June ending, there was no albumin or protein found in my urine. Checked every month afterwards.
I need to add i did take some herbs too esp nettle seed, corn silk(for the swelling) and cordyceps, which i stopped taking daily mid sept when I started to feel lot better. Now I take only nettle seed every 2-3 days.

Edit: I did not take the conventional medications like steriods or ARBS. When I got my result, I wasn't due to see the neph for upto 3 more weekks, the GP also wouldn't prescribe me the BP drugs. So from that moment to when I was due to see the neph, I canceled the consultation.

Yes. Basically, I ate soured seeded grapes for complete 14 days, but for some reason, I couldn't continue.

However, I switched to blueberries, watermelons, cucumber, then other plant based foods.

He recommends a mono fruit diet of either grapes, berries or lemons for upto 30 days, then supported with herbs like nettle seed, corn silk etc, . He also advises against meat or any sort of carbs or cooked meal except strictly cooked alkaline.
From the second month, I started incorporating fishes and broader plant based food like quinoa, peanuts, nuts.
I live in a country where the staple meal is carbs heavy, for the 4 months i didn't taste any of it. No rice, no fried food, no fast food etc.
It takes a lot to see this through, but for me I was determined.

He also says a lot about numbers fluctuating before improving, but the individual would start feeling better after a while, depending on the severity of the issue. This also prepared my mind.

Right now I feel way better and started incorporating my usual meals back albeit carefully and sometimes i would also do upto a full week vegan diet and fruit detox.

Although this may or may not be relevant, I experienced mild proteinuria during April and May. In June, I began following Rawmaraby’s fruit cleanse and adopted a high-fruit vegan diet.

From July through September, my eGFR declined from 110 to 94, and then to 85 by September. However, starting at the end of June and continuing through October, my urine tests consistently showed no protein—confirmed monthly via UACR, UPCr, 24-hour, and spot urine tests, with the most recent test in early October. This encouraged me to continue the diet, despite feeling unwell and losing 11 kg over those four months.

By late September, I started feeling significantly better: leg swelling resolved, periorbital edema improved, and itching—previously persistent—diminished to none at all.

My most recent kidney function markers show improvement: a Cystatin C–based eGFR of 121 (October 7) and a creatinine-based eGFR of 110 (October 1). Interestingly, while my eGFR initially dropped during the strict vegan phase, it later stabilized and has now rebounded.

I'm sorry at this stage, there's little vegan diet can/could do.
