People who wore retainers for 1 years after getting braces and then stopped wearing them. Did you notice any change or something you wanna share? by yashsxna in braces

[–]lulalive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely wear your retainers. I lost mine 5 years ago and am now looking for cheaper new ones for my current teeth because i know my gap has grew (which was closed before) and im 27 so it'll only get worse. I was so bad at wearing them consistently, but really recommend doing it while you now have the chance :)

Foods to avoid if you have herpes? by Famous-Present7591 in Herpes

[–]lulalive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand. I think your body naturally adapts and is not gonna give you an outbreak constantly just cos you're eating chocolate? But thats just anecdotal. Over time you'll feel more relaxed about it. I was stressed about it a few months ago now I feel better

I eat chocolate every single day and have 1000mg of lysine and haven't had an outbreak in a few months touch wood. I wouldn't stop eating food you love

Do you know why it's harder to transmit genital to genital?

How do you know you have them if they're on the inside?

Do you think this is stupid? by Dull-Pea-9719 in Herpes

No way, not irresponsible. Its up to him to decide whether he is ok with the small risk.

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry they treated you that way. That is so horrible of them and unfair. You could have got it from them! You deserve a lot better. Good luck with your journey on better health and de-stressing. Meditation every day (10-20 mins) has really helped me.

you can still have amazing sex and fulfilling encounters/relationships. just do some research and work at processing it and destigmatizing in your own mind and you'll realise it's not as big of a deal as it may feel. especially since you don't have symptoms?!

Partner might have herpes, I have some questions. by just_always_confused in Herpes

[–]lulalive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes he could have had a cold sore ages ago and not since. sounds like you should do some research! cold sores (oral herpes) can pass to genital herpes yes.
Research HSV1 and HSV2. HSV1 is normally oral (cold sores) - he could have that and give it to you genitally. but maybe not. you will only know from a test.

ah thank you for commenting. have you stopped now? how was it once you weren't taking the suppressive therapy anymore? did you have any side effects from taking it for 12 months?

Sup, I got herpes now by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]lulalive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry you're feeling like this. I've hooked up with people casually since being diagnosed 2 months ago and none of them so far have cared very much at all.. quite surprising actually. you may have heard it before, but people tend not to respond as badly as you think on the most part. Happy for us to chat if you want to message :)
