Finally outbreak free

Hi all, thought I would share what seems to be an improvement. I was diagnosed with hsv2 about 6 months ago. I really struggled with constant outbreaks despite taking acyclovir. Having sex was a definite trigger and I seemed to always be getting red and itchy.

Fast forward and I got a pap and was told I had bacterial vaginosis. I got treated for that and then got a yeast infection that went away and then came back. During all this it hit me that a lot of redness and itchy I had been experiencing so much of could have been BV and/or yeast. Sure enough, now that all that is cleared up and I am on probiotics and kefir, I am not getting the constant "prodrome" symptoms. I also switched to valtrex for suppressive therapy because it was hard to remember to take acyclovir twice a day. Now it's been a month and half with no outbreak and I have had sex twice in that time.

Hoping this continues and that I finally have this under control!!!

Sweet!!! Sounds like you got a handle on it
