Virus
I contracted the oral herpes virus while on vacation in Hawaii in 1984. I have been suffering with painful and life changing outbreaks often ever since. I recently had my second child. Having children causes much stress and basic 'wear' on the body…causing frequent outbreaks. I haven't wanted to afford medication thinkng it would get better. It has only gotten worse. I don't want to go another day missing the fun I could be having with my children, because of the the pain and illness that comes with these outbreaks. I would like to finally try a suppressive med. to help releive some of the symptoms and live better days.
As of right now, I live them by taking Ibuprofin and Acemetophin (as much as the dosage allows) exactly on the hours prescribed. I try to avoid the products like chocolate and others that 'anoy' the condition. Rest as much as possible because being up and about makes the symptoms worse. It's terribly painful to eat and drink, at it's worst, but drink as much as possible to avoid hydration.
