Famic not appearing to help

Hi Everyone,

here i am again worried about my transmission potential. It rules my life, like i'm 24/7 paranoid about it.

I take suppression therapy daily 250mg twice daily, as well as lyp-sine. I always take precautions with sex. my first 8 months were outbreak free, my initial outbreak so minor the drs weren't convinced, literally 1 red spot that looked like an ingrown. the last 12 months however, i have had maybe 15 or more outbreaks. The never last long, a few days at best. 1 or 2 blisters come up, pop and heal over within a few days. I usually get a heads up with pain in my left leg like deep muscle and the visual blister. I guess i should be grateful thats the extent of it, but the repitition is getting to me.

I'm in the beginning stages of a new relationship. He knows of my condition and has his reservations with it which would be a lot more fine if i wasn't feeling like i'm breaking out. I know he's not ready to deal with herpes yet so i have faked a period to cover my current outbreak.

is there anything i can do further to get this under control. I have had a couple months break and now, 2 outbreaks 7 days apart. Its gotten to the point of a really negative mental state and i am at wits end.

Is Famic Famvir or a generic of Famvir? If so talk to your doctor about Acyclovir or Valtrex. I was prescribed Famvir once and found it to be ineffective for me. Acyclovir always worked for me. Never had an outbreak while taking it.

This link has lots of info http://supporttruthanddialog.com. You'll find tips on how to deal with outbreaks and make living with h easier.

I agree. Try something else that might be more compatible for your body. I've tried Acyclovir & Valtrex and I prefer Valtrex. I've currently decided to do suppressive therapy to prevent outbreaks because they say it can take 6-12 months for your body to build antibodies for the virus and the outbreaks to lessen. I was diagnosed in January. I'm going to do suppressive for 3 months and then see if I can slowly come off suppressive and go to episodic.
