I was diagnosed with Herpes Simplex 1 on my vagina in October. It was extremely difficult because my partner at the time was Herpes free and I had no idea where I'd contracted the virus. Per my Gyno, I would've contracted the disease via oral S-- from an infected person without an active outbreak - which is still contagious.

Since being diagnosed in October I have had constant outbreaks that were PAINFUL to the MAX!!! I cried, prayed, and searched for advice online from others like myself. I first tried a warm water ($0) and tea tree oil ($ douche, which worked well for pain relief, but lasted only overnight at the most.

I found this website and was extremely excited to head to Walmart where I purchased the Walmart brand Tylenol-PM ($4), MERCUROCLEAR ($3), Vagisal Satin Cream ($, and Abreva ($21). I smashed the pills mixed in all the fixin's, applied to my swollen and inflamed 'Princess' and immediately felt better. I used for several days and the itching, buring, open sores, everything cleared up.

I no longer wash with 'normal' soap as it is too 'strong' for that area. I use the Family Dollar brand Feminine Wash daily. I also take the generic Valtrex pills during an outbreak in addition to the little mixture above to spead up my headling process.

I've also cut back on the dark soda, eat more seafood, and green veggies. I also eat more fruit. I take 4000mg of L-Lysine daily, 2000mg of Garlic every other day, and a 1000mg Vitamen C daily.

I've since had no more outbreaks, I feel comfy around my partner who of course has since contracted the disease. It makes it easier dealing with a person who has Herpes, but we share a common interest in not getting anymore outbreaks

I can walk, cross my legs, and have S-- whenever without the painful sores. Thanks to all the post before mine because you really helped me feel comfortable with the disease and control it as opposed to it controlling my life.

God Bless and I hope I've helped someone too

ITS NOT FROM ME. THE TYLENOL PM IVE HEARD OF, AND I HEARD OF LYSINE A BIT, NEED TO LOOK INTO THAT MORE, SOO, HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE, HOPE SOMEONE HAS SOMETHING TO ADD ;)

`Hello all,

Thought I would add what helps me while living with hsv-2, when I first got this 5 years ago the outbreaks were constant, 2-3 at a time, it was awful, now its rare I get them thank goodness.

I was told about pineapples, it works like magic lol, eat a large fresh ring of pineapple every single day, never miss, or if you can't be bothered just drink about a pint of fresh (non-concentrated) pineapple juice every single day, if I miss a day I have an outbreak so I use good tea tree oil on the blisters, pop them and get the oil on the sores, they scab and go within a few days.

Hope this helps.
