Mood: contemplative, happy, occasionally frustrated
Well herpes fans - it has been a while since I posted and I am resolving to start saying a little more. I would like to say thanks to everyone who has commented on the blog or emailed me and I am sorry I have been so slow at responding.
It has been almost 8 months since I posted last (where did that time go?) and a lot has happened. I will not bore you with information about monotomous days spent moving house or working and I will cut right to the chase. The (very, very, very) good news is that I am still with the great girl who on March 6th was still a new girl. More importantly I am thoroughly head over heels in love.
The not so good news is that despite taking acyclovir twice a day since March I have not become symptom free. In fact my episodes seem to be stimulated by the mere act of having sex (penile trauma?). It is not a simple formula (I am about to get very blunt - I think you should be used to that by now but do not say I did not warn you). Basically symptoms typically follow a few days after I have continued sexual intercourse. At this point I usually stop all sex until the symptoms disappear, wait another week and then start having sex again. YES - you are right - this is a pain in the backside (and frontside :-)). The symptoms only seem to be caused during intercourse and are not caused by masturbation.
The symptoms are usually very mild and usually consist of a small red spot or two. I have been in and out of the hallowed 'Clinic 1a' (GUM clinic) and they and I are still none the wiser. Fortunately my girlfriend is very supportive and relaxed about it. We are of course incredibly careful and we always use a condom. We also usually stop when my symptoms appear - however this is very disruptive and annoying. However I consider myself lucky because I have an amazing relationship with a wonderful, beautiful girl. Her view on this is that the worst thing that can happen is that she catches it from me and that is nowhere near as bad as the idea of not being with me :-)!
Okay - there is much more to this story because this lovely girl is currently half way around the world. More on that next time - and if you are lucky some more gorey symptom details to boot.
Now where did I put my acyclovir.

Glad you're back!
There's a new product that can cure you of herpes. forever.

checkout my blog for more info.
Wow... really, the fact that people think that minerals will cure you of herpes is a total crock.
I wouldn't waste money on a couple bottles of mineral water and 3 months on something that claims it can cure a disease that is currently INCURABLE.
I will admit that science is getting closer to possibly finding a cure...but this "Resolve Herpes" product is ridiculous.
Better stick to Valtrex and let it treat your symptoms until science finds a real cure.

Hi there!
I agree with anon. It helps to read up a lot on the disease. Hoping that there would be a cure for the disease is only human but to pursue medication that claims to do so is not healthy. However, there is treatment out there. I recently started a blog of my own (I also have been recently been diagnosed), which is at cure for Herpes. I put some treatments that I've been trying here. It doesn't work for everyone but it takes a while to find a therapy for outbreaks that works for you.
Lots of love,
Kristina
hello everybody. Im a 22yr old female. I just saw a dr today she told me that she was 99% sure that i have herpes. I have been online doing research all day and im confused. the sore that i have does not look like any of the sores i saw online. its def not a cluster. the sore that i do have is the only symptom. can you guys give me some info
I also suffered a kind of genital herpes 3 years ago and it was the worse experience but my doctor recommended me to order Generic Valtrex
Maybe you are allergic to latex and that is what is stimulating an outbreak. Have you tried non-latex condoms?
Hello very interesting information about herpes I have the herpes virus but I have a normal life!!
